How it works, what to expect, and how to match


A typical NJ speed dating night runs 90 to 120 minutes. You check in on the njdates Matchboard, which guides you to each table and introduces your next date. At the end of every round, tap Connect or Pass for that person. Don't worry, you can change these selections after the event. When you finish, confirm your connections in the Matchboard. Mutual matches are sent by email the same night, usually within 2 hours.
