Singles events in New Jersey: common questions

What kinds of singles events run in New Jersey?
NJDates runs modern speed dating across New Jersey rather than from a single hub, so events move between Somerville, Montclair, Clark, Tinton Falls, Cherry Hill, Rockaway, Maple Shade, New Brunswick and Wayne. Nights are tightly age-banded, from 25-35 up through 48-65, with dedicated sapphic and men-seeking-men events.
How does speed dating actually work?
You get a series of short one-on-one conversations, usually four to eight minutes each, with a host keeping the room moving. Afterwards you mark who you would like to see again, and you are put in touch with anyone who marked you back. You never have to reject anyone to their face.
Do I need to bring anyone with me?
No. Most people arrive on their own, which is the whole point of a hosted format: the structure does the introducing so you are not standing at the edge of a room hoping someone talks to you.
Who runs these events?
Events in New Jersey are run by independent local operators, currently NJDates. TNFM is the platform they use for ticketing and matching, so you buy from the operator running the night.
