I have a question. i signed up the first day we were able to do speed dating. conformation email that said i am in the data base and has the selected dates and yes on the day i wanted. Looking on the forums it said another email should of been sent out. Should i go with the one i got the first day i signed up for it or should i get another in an email?

There was suppose to be another email that said that you were confirmed for that day. The one you got was simply saying that they received your request for that day.

Did anyone who didn't get an email but just showed up get into the event Friday? How early did people start lining up?

[Rhornez]

still forever alone, missed the speed dating. FUUU

[kane64]

Hey everyone, warning- Don't get your hopes up too much. I got a match, but we lived too far away from each other to actually date. So unfortunate scenario there.

[spycker]

wasnt people suppose to get a text if they had a match? or something in that matter? -.-

What day did you go?

All days..and when I got there like a few minutes late they wouldnt let me in, even if i registered which sucked.

To clarify: If you received a confirmed Congratulatory email, we specifically told attendees to come 10 minutes prior to their event (ex. come 1:50PM, if the event started at 2PM). Any attendee who received a specific time slot was granted participation in ONE Speed Dating events. We did not allow someone to register and receive a time slot for all Speed Dating days. During FanimeCon, we had many attendees wait prior to the event, and daily, we would even wait until 5 minutes after the hour to ensure all confirmed pre-registered attendees got in first. Which probably means that you could have arrived after 5-10 minutes of the hour and forfeited your spot. We, the Staff, try to be very punctual and professional to ensure fairness for all attendees.

Hello airanimechiic,

I do remember you during the Speed Dating event and believe that I liked your cosplay :).
I apologize for the unfortunate scenario but hoped you had fun regardless. Please participate again next year as we continue to expand improve!

To those that were involved in the selection process for the speed dating:  What was the age of the oldest person you selected?

Hello spycker,

Just to clarify, this was not the Congratulatory confirmation email. It had to say "CONGRATULATIONS" in the beginning of the email with instructions and a specific time/date from the Speed Dating staff. Hope you'll sign up with us again next year! Best of luck
