What we’re about

### Long Island Speed Dating & Singles Events in Nassau and Suffolk County

Welcome to Long Island Speed Dating — where meeting new people is fun, easy, and totally offline!

My mission is simple: to change lives by helping singles make real connections.
This group is for anyone in the Nassau or Suffolk County area who’s ready to meet quality singles face-to-face in a structured, relaxed environment. Whether you’re newly single, new to the area, or just tired of online dating, you’ll fit right in here.

We host in-person speed dating events for all age groups, plus creative “spin-off” experiences that use the same quick-connection format — think trivia nights, comedy shows, walking tours, pickleball socials, and more. Some events are powered by [WeekendDating.com](https://www.weekenddating.com) while others are exclusive to this Meetup community.

### What Exactly Is Speed Dating?

It’s simple! You’ll meet several singles in your age range — one conversation at a time — in a cozy, social setting. It’s the perfect way to ditch the dating apps and meet real people with real smiles.

Our Speed dating started in 2003 and has been around that long because it works! It’s fast-paced, exciting, and pressure-free. Each mini date lasts 4-6 minutes, so you’ll know quickly if there’s a spark.

A balanced numbers of men and women attend each event, and advance registration is required so we can keep the ratio balanced (sorry, no cash at the door).

### More Than Just Speed Dating

We’ll also be hosting singles mingles, comedy nights, trivia games, and social mixers — all designed to help you meet new people and expand your social circle in a comfortable, friendly way.

This group is all about genuine connection — no pick-up lines, no gimmicks, no pressure. Just real people meeting in real life.

    Secret Singles Supermarket Shopping

    Secret Singles Supermarket Shopping

    Farmingdale/Melville, Retro kitchen, New york, NY, US

    This is a prepay only event at https://www.weekenddating.com/event-details.aspx?id=13073
    Were bringing a one-of-a-kind singles experience to the Farmingdale/Melville area! The exact supermarket location will remain a surprise and will only be revealed once you register. THIS EVENT IS NOT MEANT TO BE AGE SPECIFIC OR GENDER BALANCED.

    This is more than just a night out its a fundraiser with heart. Every dollar raised goes directly to Island Harvest to help families in need.

    You have probably heard people joke that the grocery store is the perfect place to meet someone new. Well, now you will get the chance to put that idea into action! After all, you need to shop anyway, so why not turn it into a social adventure?
    Here is how it works: after you sign up, you will receive details about which market were meeting at, plus a simple, discreet way to let others know you are part of the group. No obvious name tags, no awkward signs just a subtle single-friendly signal so participants can easily spot one another while blending in with everyday shoppers.

    When we last hosted this event, more than 50 people showed up, and the feedback was priceless. One of the most common reactions was, This feels like something straight out of a Seinfeld episode! Remember 100% of the profits go to Island Harvest. Come shop, mingle, laugh, and give back at the same time.

    How else is it similar/different from Traditional Speed Dating

    One on One dates:

    We will break participants into pairs of two, just like we do with traditional speed dating. You will get to speak to each dates for a specified amount of time (typically 4-6 minutes). After the specified number of minutes, the guys will rotate to the next date and the process continues.

    Just like with traditional speed dating, at the end of the event you will be able to let us know who you were interested in. We will send you both mutual matches (you picked them and they picked you) as well as one way matches (they picked you but you did not pick them).

    You are given 20 minutes from the end of the event to let us know who you are interested in and will receive the results the same night (usually within one hour) or the next morning. You will not have to wait 24 hours or more to get your results.

    How many potential dates will be there?
