What Happens After a Speed Dating Event

The night may be over, but the experience doesn’t end the moment you leave the venue.

At MyCheekyDate, we believe clarity is part of good hosting. So here’s exactly what happens after a speed dating event, explained simply, calmly, and without guesswork.

First: Take a Breath

Speed dating is social, lively, and a little exhilarating. It’s normal to replay conversations, wonder who felt the spark, or feel a mix of excitement and uncertainty.

That’s all part of meeting people in real life — and it’s why we don’t rush the next steps.

Your Smart‑Card Selections

After the event, you’ll use your MyCheekyDate Smart‑Card to record who you’d like to see again.

Your Smart‑Card:

  • Is not an app — there’s nothing to download

  • Works on mobile or desktop

  • Is entirely web‑based

Inside your Smart‑Card, you can:

  • Make or adjust your selections

  • Upload a photo

  • Share a few optional details about yourself you’d like others to know

This process is private, individual, and pressure‑free.

You have until midnight to complete or update your selections.

How Matches Are Determined

A match occurs only when two people independently select each other.

This mutual‑interest approach is intentional. It ensures:

  • Comfort and consent for everyone

  • No awkward follow‑ups

  • No forced introductions

If interest isn’t mutual, no contact information is shared.

When You’ll Hear Back

You have until midnight to make or adjust your selections.

After midnight, you can return to your Smart‑Card to see the details of any mutual matches.

Selections are processed automatically once the deadline passes, ensuring that all matches reflect mutual interest only.

If You Receive a Match

If there’s mutual interest, both parties are notified and given the information needed to connect.

What happens next is entirely up to you.

Some people message right away. Others take a day or two. There’s no required pace — only what feels natural.

If You Don’t Receive a Match

If there’s no mutual match, you’ll still be notified — simply by visiting your Smart‑Card anytime after midnight.

Your Smart‑Card will clearly reflect that no mutual selections were made for that event.

While this can feel disappointing, it doesn’t mean:

  • You did anything wrong

  • The event failed

  • The experience wasn’t delivered

It simply means mutual interest didn’t align that particular evening. Just like in everyday life, chemistry can’t be predicted or guaranteed.

Many guests attend more than once and often experience very different results each time.

What We Don’t Do After the Event

To keep expectations clear, here’s what does not happen after a speed dating event:

  • We don’t override guest choices

  • We don’t create matches without mutual selection

  • We don’t share contact details without consent

  • We don’t pressure guests to connect

These boundaries protect the integrity — and comfort — of the experience.

What Your Ticket Covers

Your ticket provides:

  • Entry to a curated speed dating event

  • A structured, host‑led experience

  • The opportunity to meet multiple singles in one evening

The service is fulfilled through participation, not through guaranteed outcomes.

A Final Word

With British sensibility and thoughtful simplicity, MyCheekyDate is designed to make meeting people feel natural — before, during, and after the event.

Understanding what happens next helps set realistic expectations and keeps the experience enjoyable for everyone involved.
