Single in the City is now hosting Virtual Speed Dating Events across Canada

Life as we know it has shifted dramatically. As we all stay home to help curb the spread of COVID-19, many of us are struggling to acclimate to this new reality.

For singles looking for love, the idea of dating has left many feeling less than optimistic. Social distancing measures have created definitive barriers to the ways we normally date, and as a result, virtual dating has soared in popularity.

Your dating life doesn’t have to come to an end, but hear me out: I don’t believe dating apps are the way to go. Swiping through photos is impersonal and one-dimensional – it’s tough to establish a real connection with a 2-D image of someone, after all.

Which is why I knew I had to take action: I have decided to take my successful speed dating services and now offer them virtually across Canada.

With Single in the City’s virtual speed dating events, you can give your swiping finger a permanent break and start building connections through real-time interactions over video chat. These events are designed to mimic a real-life date. You get to meet someone face-to-face, feel out their vibe and get a better sense of who they actually are. This allows you to better gage if you truly have chemistry with your date. There’s nothing worse than texting someone for weeks on end only to find yourself disappointed when you finally meet in person – maybe they don’t match their photo, or their “text personality” is the polar opposite of their actual personality. It’s happened to the best of us, believe me.

With my virtual speed dating events, you eliminate so much wasted time. Here’s how it works:

On the day of the event, you virtually attend – from the comfort of your own home – and meet up to 15 professional singles in a live video chat. Here’s what makes this service unique: Because many find video apps like Zoom or Discord to be a little impersonal, we’ve developed a one-of-a-kind video app that allows you to see a little information about your date before you meet them. You’ll see their name, age, occupation as well as a short self-summary before your first hello, which is great on a first date since it gives your conversation an easy place to begin.

What makes virtual speed dating such an effective way to date is the fact that you get to meet a variety of different people in such a short period of time. At the end of the day, dating is a numbers game. The more people you meet, the greater your chances of meeting “the one.”

We’ll be offering virtual speed dating events all across Canada: Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Montreal, West GTA, Hamilton, London and the Tri-Cities.

Single in the City has been a pioneer in the dating industry for 18 years. We’re committed to helping you find your person, global pandemic or not. During such uncertain times, it’s more important than ever to seek connection – the right way. So don’t get stuck on a dating app that leads you nowhere. Join our virtual speed dating services and take comfort knowing that you’ll become part of a community of singles who want the same things you do: to develop a real connection.
