How to Follow Up After a Speed Dating Event

Got a match? Great! Now it’s time to follow up. A short, friendly message works best. Keep it light and natural.

Mention something specific from your chat. This shows you were listening. Say, “I really enjoyed hearing about your trip to Italy!”

Timing matters. Don’t wait too long to reach out. A message within 24–48 hours keeps the momentum going. Delaying too much can make the connection fade.

Suggest a casual meetup. Keep it simple, like grabbing coffee or visiting a cool spot you mentioned. Low-pressure plans work best.

If they don’t respond, don’t take it personally. People get busy or change their minds. Keep your confidence high and move forward.

Most importantly, enjoy the process. Dating should be fun, not stressful. Whether it leads to a relationship or not, every experience teaches you something new.
