A group of singles - an equal number of men and women -- gather at a cafe or bar that has been rented out for the evening. The cafe is filled with "tables for two," and each table is numbered. The duration for the meeting is about 3-10 minutes. Participants are also given suggested topics to help loosen up.

When the set time ends, there is a short music or a ring to ask the participants to move on to the next seat and meet another date. Participants are given a form and asked to give their feedback on how the speed dating with the person went, and if he or she would be interested in meeting the person again There are options like ‘hit’, ‘miss’ ‘friend’ ‘great’ etc to choose from or tick. Usually it is the men who have to be proactive in dating while the women are waiting to meet them. There is an intermission break of 15-20 mts where you can vibe with girls or boys whom you consider attractive and whom you had given amiss due to the traffic of attendees.
