Emily & Alison here! We have been in and out of the dating scene in NYC for over a decade and speed dating has always been the place where we have found the best results.

Recently, Emily went to a speed dating event in Manhattan and it just wasn’t what she had hoped for. She thought about what would make the experience better and she thinks she’s figured it out. At every date, we spent four minutes trying to find something in common to talk about and then had only one or two minutes left to actually see if there was a vibe.

This got her to thinking, what if the events already started with a theme or a commonality? That way there is something built in to discuss!

Enter Quest For Connection. We’re speed dating done differently. Each of our speed dating nights out will center around a theme (think board games, fantasy, sports, animal lovers, etc.) so you know you’ve already got something in common to start up your conversations!
