About this Event

Speed Dating at Mandarin Barton in Hamilton
Meet older singles fast!

SINGLES, Turn loneliness into lovely moments. Meet up to 15 older singles of opposite gender in 2 hours! Why try us? Because:

  1. Only older singles should attend,
  2. Seats could vanish quickly, and
  3. a REAL human answers every inquiry!

We:

  1. never hire nor import fake participants.
  2. commit to 100% transparency regarding communication.
  3. give singles a free menu item made by Mandarin Barton.
  4. provide topics on-site as conversation starters to guide shy older singles.
  5. deliver creative match results besides simple yes/no responses.
  6. seriously invent all our Speed Dating functions.
  7. interview owners of potential places.
  8. publish innovative posters in select stores.

Our venue space renting policy

Inflation (ongoing affordability crisis) causes thousands of Canadian businesses to struggle. Because of this, we will confirm booking with venue staff if enough tickets sell by sales ending date.


No donation required to participate

Please do NOT bring canned goods or other food items to any of our events.


Tips to Make a 1st meeting safe!
Don't travel alone

Travel with your best friend to people you wish to meet. We may permit him/her to be close to the event area as your support person if space permits.


Take things slow

Sometimes taking things slow is best. We give all participants options (on their match cards) to like their potential matches as friends only or more.


Meet in a public place

Choose a public place with other people nearby. If things go awkward fast, then odds of you receiving emergency assistance is much higher. All our speed dating events are held in public places.


Avoid entering your 1st date's vehicle

People you meet for the first time are considered strangers until you have chatted with them for a while. Not taking this tip seriously may cause you to enter unknown territory & possibly be kidnapped.


Avoid entering your 1st date's residence

Its similar to entering his/her vehicle except that you could be trapped in his/her home without an exit.


Tell a trustworthy person your whereabouts

We recommend letting trustworthy people (example: family) know directions to the potential match's location. Share a safe word with trustworthy people & contact them using a mobile phone in case of emergency.


Share info when you're comfortable

Get to know your potential partner well, then when you are both comfortable, exchange contact information. Exchanging temporary email addresses is safer than swapping phone numbers because if the person harasses you by email, then use a new email address.


Exit very awkward situations

Does your potential partner showcase an uncomforting tone or appearance? Does it not align with your values? It's best to tell him/her you must go then escape calmly to avoid a potential messy situation.


We welcome all older singles to Speed Dating inside Mandarin Barton from every background. To ensure attendees have adequate chances at scoring love, everybody must understand english (Canadian grade 7 level).


We conduct attendance checks before 1st Speed Dating round begins. Everyone's ages are validated as required. By buying Speed Dating tickets, you'll accept full liability for your children, plus every damage, loss, & injury you cause during your participation. Venue owner(s) permit us to setup dates, rent indoor area(s) & furniture. Server may at his/her discretion refuse to provide alcohol service to those not providing proof of legal drinking age. Please drink responsibly. There's NO promise that a preferred menu item is in-stock. We can't guarantee any two singles will become couples upon conclusion of any Speed Dating round. Anybody displaying extreme intoxication signs, violence, or nudity towards others, or arriving 15+ minutes late must exit the Speed Dating area immediately. No Speed Dating round occurs & refunds become available if insufficient people register by sales closing time, or if venue owner(s) revokes our permission to plan and/or execute an event for this date. Contact us to acquire detailed information regarding this posting. While we allow LGBTQ, queers, transgenders, non-binary, adults under special categories, & other singles to join any Speed Dating round, registrants must indicate their current genders (male or female).
