What age group does Brighter Dates cater to?
Most of Brighter Dates' registrants fall between 27-39 years old. We are hoping to expand in the future so that we may offer mixers to people in different age groups. If you would like to be notified of the expansion, please notify us via email, and we will happily add you to our contact list.
How often will events be held?
For the first few months, we will plan one event per month; as we grow, we will increase the number of monthly events.
Is there a ratio of men to women you are hoping to meet?
Yes, our goal for our standard events is 1:1 with a cap of 100 people. The number of people may vary depending on the size of the venue, and that information will be noted in the Event Details on the Calendar.
Is there a dress code?
Although there is not an official dress code, we think it’s important to put your best foot forward. (If the venue has a dress code, you will be notified). Look out for a blog post about this soon!
What is the process for the evening?
When you arrive at the event, your ID will be verified. Head over to our photographer to have your picture(s) taken, and then the fun begins! Enjoy desserts, sip wine or beer, and mingle with other singles. A representative for the designated charity will be on site to briefly discuss the mission of the organization its impact on the community. The rep will also provide us with a fun activity that will support the organization.
Do I have to participate in the activity? I just want to mingle.
You can choose to get as involved as you would like.
What if I’m a little shy?
We’ve got your back! We’re happy to facilitate introductions-- just find us at the event. (Don’t forget about the “anonymous” option under Profile Settings!)
How will I be notified if an event is cancelled? And how will I be refunded?
In the unlikely event that we have to cancel a function, we will notify you via email and post the information on our Facebook and Twitter pages. Refunds will be issued in the original form of payment.
If I can no longer attend an event to which I have RSVP’d, will I receive a full refund?
Yes, provided you notify us of the cancellation at least 72 hours prior to the event so we have a chance to find someone to fill your spot.
If an event is sold out, can I be added to the wait list?
If you are interested in attending an event that is sold out, please send us a message. If a spot becomes available, we will contact you via email.
I have another question...
We would love to help. Please drop us a line via our online form.

Why is my profile so empty?
It will be pretty sparse until you attend an event. When you activate your account, you can indicate your hobbies and interests. The rest will have to wait until after an event. We will upload your profile picture after you attend an event. Your list of friends will populate after you are matched with other singles, and your messaging screen will be active once you start communicating with those matches.
Can anyone see my profile?
Your profile is totally private. Once you have attended an event, you will select your favorite singles. If those singles also choose you, your profiles will be visible to each other.
