Speed dating gives you the chance to introduce yourself and find out 6 minutes worth of information on each potential date in the room. Six minutes isn’t long enough to know if he or she is “the one”, but you will know if there is enough spark for a great first date!

We will have conversational friendly music in the backgrounds and a private or semi-private area for us to mingle in. You’ll be emailed a list of you mutual matches within 24 hours of the event.

Remember… chemistry isn’t found online.

Bring business cards if you wish to exchange for networking.

Time:

Registration and check in begins at 7pm. Speed Dating begins at 7:15pm. Just like a first date, please be on time. Late arrivals (after 7:30) will probably not be seated untill the second round, therefore miss meeting half of the group.

About Last Night. Score!

Last night Mingle Around hosted a singles networking mixer with about 200 sexy, Chicago area singles. We partied at The Grid on Hubbard in River North from 6pm-late. I had a great time meeting people and wanted to write a quick recap of the evening for anyone who might have missed it. We also took some photos, they will be added soon.

First off, I had no idea that the mega huge singles online dating company was also partying in the same place. I was getting pretty confused when a few people approached me asking if this was the “match party”. Thinking they meant “Mingle Around” party, I gave them a wristband, free cocktail and my business card. It turns out, I stole about half of match.com’s attendees last night! Match had a mixer upstairs, we were downstairs.  The few singles that were left at the opposing singles company party wound up coming downstairs to party with us (200 singles looks a lot more fun than 20!).  I kinda felt like David Vs Goliath, I and I won.  As a small business owner it’s scary to see a company as huge and successful as Match entering the arena with you. They started hosting singles mixers (called The Stir) about a year ago to help boost their online dating site. Naturally, I was a bit nervous when I heard they were coming to Chicago- but I have to admit, its only helped us grow to our 12,342 (and growing) member base- bringing interest to “offline” dating options. Sorry to share- I just thought it was kinda neat to throw a party next to Match.com and have the bigger/better one. ;-)

More importantly, the party itself… FUN! Free vodka from 42 below (www.42below.com), 200 singles, a huge swanky bar and sexy vibe makes for a good way to spend a Wednesday night. The rule was to introduce yourself to at least 6 people. Most of my guests did- I saw a LOT of mingling going on. I also saw A LOT of numbers exchanged! It’s neat, as a matchmaker, to watch the interactions of the crowd. I stood post by the door most of the night and saw a few solos enter and then leave as duos. Hot, hot, hot!

Some tips for future networking events-

1- Short conversations. At a networking event people are hear to meet lots of people. Don’t plan on talking to just one person, or one group of people, all night. Make it a habit to move and mingle around.

2- Don’t be rude to the bar staff. I had a gentleman last night who might have been on my “Hot List” until he was observed being verbally rude to the staff. Instant turn off. If you’re rude to bar staff, waiters, valet drivers etc, please do us all a favor and stay home!

3- Bring a friend, but don’t chat with her/him all night. I love when my members bring friends with! I HATE when they use them as a crutch and don’t mingle with new people. Use your friend to your advantage by having them make introductions for you if you need that extra courage.

4- Don’t be shy about asking to exchange information. Bring a business card if you have one and pass it around!

We will be mingling at Kamehachi in Old Town, on the second floor in a very swanky private lounge. Kamehachi is one of the best sushi bars in Chicago, and the location really can’t be beat. The private room we are in has it’s own bar and is perfect for quiet conversations. Open until 2am, if you really hit it off with someone you can stay all night!  I truly recommend coming early and dining before our event- as sushi is a naturalaphrodisiac! BTW, the food here is delish!
