You will receive email reminders regularly. 4) You will receive a list of at least two potential matches that fit your criteria the best at least 24 hours before the event in your email. 5) Daters are respectful and open-minded. If you're not feeling someone, maybe say "I'm feeling friendship" for example. 6) Arrive 15-30 minutes early for sign in and familiarize yourself with your matches. Once dating rounds start, listen to instructions. Based on how your questionnaire answers, find your seat based on a color-coordinated chart. If you're late, you will miss a potential match. Who wants that?! 7) After each date, a questionnaire is completed per person with a "yes," "no" or "maybe" and section for brief notes/questions. You will receive texts from Maria with the name(s) and phone number of your match(es)! Go on a date with your match! Have fun! 8) It is not guaranteed that any matches or dates will occur but hope you do go out! Come prepared to make a lot of cool new sexy friends!
