Our Community
Minute Dating is the premier community for English-fluent professionals seeking a true connection. We believe the most powerful relationships are built on genuine human sparks, not algorithms or personality tests. That’s why we bring together a curated group of discerning, like-minded singles in relaxed and sophisticated settings. The foundation of this environment is a shared commitment to respect, safety, and genuine intentions, formalized for every attendee in our Code of Conduct. Our premium and exclusive events, including our signature speed dating events and unique Lock and-Key mixers, are designed to foster authentic chemistry, allowing you to focus on what matters most: real conversations and a path to a long-term relationship.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW LONG DO THE EVENTS LAST ?
Our speed dating events last three hours, and our mixers last up to five hours.
​​
WHAT ARE LOCK-AND-KEY MIXERS ?
The Lock-and-Key mixer is a sophisticated and interactive alternative to traditional speed dating, presented as a premier experience for our community of discerning professionals. Upon arrival, women receive a small lock and men a key, which serves as a graceful icebreaker. This simple game encourages you to circulate and connect. The true value is not in finding the lock or key, but in the effortless conversations this activity sparks. When you find a lock and key that fit, simply head to a designated table to get a new set. This ensures the activity keeps you engaged and mingling with a variety of like-minded individuals throughout the evening in a relaxed and refined setting.
​
​​​​HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL ATTEND ?
You can expect a maximum of 20 participants at our speed dating events and between 50 and 100 people at our mixers.​
WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THE PRICE ?
The ticket price of 45 € includes a welcome drink and finger food.
​
​WILL THERE BE AN EQUAL NUMBER OF MEN AND WOMEN ?
We meticulously plan each event to ensure an almost balanced ratio of men to women, maximizing the chance of success for all attendees. While we can't guarantee an exact 50/50 split, our goal is always to keep the numbers as balanced as possible.
​​​
WHAT INFORMATION IS GIVEN TO MY MATCHES ?
We only share your first name and email with your matches.​​
WHAT IS THE AGE RANGE FOR YOUR EVENTS ?
Our events are exclusively for people aged 35 to 55. This age range allows us to create a curated experience with the highest chance of success, based on the high interest and demand we receive.​
WHY IS THERE A SHORT APPPLICATION PROCESS AND A CODE OF CONDUCT ?
We have these measures in place for one fundamental reason: to guarantee the quality and safety of the experience for everyone. Our curated application and mandatory Code of Conduct act as a crucial filter. They ensure that every attendee is a discerning English fluent single (35-55) professional who shares our community's core goal of finding a serious, long-term relationship. This is the system we use to create a premium, exclusive, safe, and respectful environment, allowing you to relax and focus on making genuine connections.
WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY ?​
Tickets are non-refundable if a participant cancels, does not cancel, or fails to attend. However, a courtesy ticket transfer is offered if you provide at least 48 hours' notice of cancellation. You can read the full, detailed policy in our Terms & Conditions.
​
CAN I GET A REFUND FOR MY TICKET ?
No, all ticket sales are final and non-refundable. The only exception is if we, the organizer, are forced to cancel an event. For more details, please see our Terms & Conditions.
​
CAN I TRANSFER MY TICKET TO ANOTHER DATE OR PERSON ?
Yes, we offer a courtesy ticket transfer if you provide more than 48 hours' notice before the event. This is subject to certain conditions, such as a limit of two transfers per year. Please read the full procedure in our Terms & Conditions.
​
CAN I BUY A TICKET ON-SITE ?
Since we need to know who's attending in advance to ensure an almost equal ratio of men and women, we are unable to accept payments on-site. All participation requires a pre-booked ticket to guarantee your spot and maintain the quality of the event for all attendees.
