What is a match?
DateandDash is fun and exciting but the real object of the exercise is to find someone new who you like and who likes you. When you meet someone you want to meet again, you pick the number of your date hoping they do the same to you. If they do, then it becomes a 'match'.
Do I have to enter match details by myself?
After the party has ended, you will have to login to www.dateanddash.com and enter your choices into our automated matching system. A match is if you selected that person and they selected you. To make sure you do not miss your love connection, we ask that everybody enters their matches within 48 hours of the event or a blind date.
Can I get the details of someone who didn't pick me?
The concept of speed-dating is to let people meet and, if they like each other, they will be able to meet again by becoming a match. If there isn't a match then that suggests one side doesn't want to take it any further. We respect such wishes and will only exchange details when there is a match.
