How It Works

Speed Dating Events:

Ventura County Fastdating events are held at fun, cool, and relaxed locations in Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Camarillo, Ventura and Santa Barbara. Each party is organized so you’ll meet up to 15 people in a string of six minute dates! When you check-in at the event, you will get an evaluation sheet and you will be assigned a number. The number you receive will be how other people will identify you throughout the night and indicate if they would like to see you again. Your event host will seat you at one of many numbered tables-for-two where you'll talk to the person across from you for just four to five minutes. When the time is up, your host will blow a whistle to let you know it's time to move on to the next person. You'll have another whirlwind conversation with the next person, until you have met everyone.

After each date you'll ever-so-discreetly circle a "yes" or "no" next to each person's number on your evaluation card to indicate if you want to see them again. At the end of the night, you'll turn in your evaluation card, and within 24 hours you will receive your matches via e-mail. Don't worry if you do not have e-mail you can also call in to get your matches.

If you said yes and they said yes, you're a match! From there, it's up to you to get in touch.

Sound exiting? It is! It is also so much fun! RSVP for the next event in your city now and see what VC Fastdating is all about!

Lock & Key Party:

Each party is organized around the "Lock & Key" game where each man gets a key and each woman get a lock. The object of the game is to find out "who's" key fits "who's" lock. Each time you unlock a lock you get a raffle ticket. While you’re waiting in line to receive your raffle ticket you get the opportunity to find out about the person who unlocked the lock. In addition, you also get a chance to win some really awesome door prizes. If you meet someone at the party who you like you can fill out a "You've caught my eye" card with your contact information so the person may contact you.

What should I wear to a VC Fastdating event?

People tend to dress casual, but are looking good! For example, guys often wear nice jeans or cords and a sweater or dress shirt. Sometimes people do come in suits, but that's usually because they have to come from work and don't have time to change. You should wear something that you are comfortable but makes you look good.

How can I be sure there will be an equal number of participants?

VC Fastdating is based on certain numbers of participants. We watch those numbers, so don't worry, there will be plenty of matches to go around! We guarantee at least 6 people or your next event will be FREE! (Only one free event for every paid event)

Where is the event I see listed on the website going to be held?

We do not give out the location of the event until after you have registered. We do this for several reasons. First, we work very hard to keep an equal number of men and woman so having people just show up at events makes it a bit of logistical nightmare. Second and most important we have had several people just want to check out the crowd and watch. This makes everyone very uncomfortable. So......after you RSVP, and pay for the event we will send a confirmation e-mail with the address. We will also send you a reminder e-mail a day or so before the event that will contain all of the necessary important information.

I have signed up for an event, but it’s now sold out and I want my friend to come with me. Can you squeeze him/her in?

Unfortunately we can´t. But you should have your friend try to RSVP and then put his or her name on the waiting list. They can also attend with you for moral support and just not participate. They´ll just have to pay a small cover charge, but will be able to hang out with you as you mingle before and after the event.

How can I tell if there is room for me at an event? Can I just show up that night?

We do require that you pre-register online or over the phone to guarantee your spot at an event. Simply click the Register for an event button next to the event you would like to attend. If there is room at that event, you´ll then be asked to register. If the event is sold out, we´ll allow you to put your name on a special waiting list that will notify you if we´ve had any cancellations.

I’m older/younger than the ages you state on your website. Can I still come?

If you are older or younger than the age range for a particular event, we won´t tell if you don´t! Our event ages are actually just suggestions as most of the people that attend fall within that range. Just pick the group that you feel most comfortable within and you´re all set.

Are there any rules?

Yes, here are some ground rules:

Each Fast-Date should be comfortable and no pressure because no one should ask for your phone number or for a date. That´s why we have the Match Sheet. If you aren´t romantically interested in a person you should still be courteous and try to make the most of your conversation. Everyone has something interesting to share! And maybe you´ll make a new friend.

What do I talk about?

That´s up to you, just follow the rules that were given. You can ask simple questions like "do you have any hobbies?" or you can ask tougher, open-ended questions that are important to you in a relationship. Here are a couple examples for you:
