Attend an Event for FREE
And Fill the Party with People You Want to Meet!

How? It's simple!

Register for an event and we'll give you a special link.
The link offers a $5.00 discount to anyone you invite.
Email your link to singles on dating websites, or friends and colleagues.
When 3 people register using your link, you go for FREE*!

* Program Rules and Details

Register for an event, as usual, using your credit card.
When you complete registration, we will issue you a unique, trackable link.
Your link connects to the event you signed up for, and provides everyone you invite an automatic $5.00 discount.
8minuteDating.com tallies the number of people who sign up for the event you signed up for after clicking your link or pasting the link into their browser.
- If 3 people have registered for the event using your link BEFORE you have been Confirmed to attend, then your credit card will not be charged.
- If 3 people have registered for the event using your link AFTER you have been Confirmed to attend, then we will issue a refund to your credit card.
For events that include a "premium" component for which 8minuteDating.com incurs a direct cost, the "free" discount applies only to the base price of the event. For example, if a event includes a charge by the venue for entertainment or appetizers, you will be charged the cost of the premium.
Your link expires on the day of the event that you signed up for.

Q: I am older than the ages listed for an event. Can I still attend?

A: We don't check IDs at the event, but we do want our participants to be "age appropriate". If most people in this group would be interested in dating someone your age, then feel free to sign up for that event!

If we don't have events listed for your age group, maybe you or someone you know would enjoy becoming an 8minuteDating Event Organizer - it's a fun way to earn money in your spare time! Just click the "Event Organizer" link on our web site to learn more and to apply.

Q: Why do some of your events have different age ranges for men and women?

A: Our research indicates that most women are comfortable with meeting men who are a few years older than themselves, and most men want to meet women who are younger than themselves. Staggered age ranges increase the chances that our participants will meet someone who they want to date. This also means that more people sign up for the events which increases the chances for everyone of making a connection.
