I am currently dating someone now from a previous dating event at NJ First Dates so I won't be able to attend the new date.

Jeffrey A., 37, Fair Lawn, NJ

I have always had a difficult time approaching women and asking them out on dates. Speed dating took that part out of the equation by setting me up on 15 dates every time I would attend an event. The best part is; that with all the practice I have been getting meeting and talking to these women, I have found my confidence growing and have a much easier time approaching women in my daily life.

Ken, 29, Bridgewater, NJ

NJFirstDates is what it is! It's a great place for meeting new people and going on a bunch of first dates.

Karla, 28, Whippany, NJ

Speed dating turned out to be so much more fun than I ever thought was possible. The controlled time frame encourages personal conversation and real question asking and bypasses all the mundane small talk.

Catherine, 31, Hackensack, NJ

I have been on a few dating sites. The problem is that since I live next to the NY border, it seems like all my matches are from one of the 5 boroughs, or Connecticut. I realize that in terms of mileage this is not a far commute, but it sure is inconvenient. Who wants to go through 2 tunnels and 3 bridges every time they want to spend time with somebody? I like NJ First Dates because all their singles are from jersey so even though some of the guys I meet may be a little further away in terms of miles, it takes me half as long to meet up with them.

Amanda, 26, Secaucus, NJ

It was a great experience! Made some good friends and actually met someone very interesting. Lots of fun! I will defintely do it again soon.

Jay, 38, West Patterson, NJ

My friend had convinced me to attend your Morris County event last month. He had his mind set on going, but didn’t want to go it alone. I am so thankful he was able to persuade me to go. I ended up having a great time and we both have dates next week with girls we really hit it off with.

Chris, 28, Totowa, NJ

I never had problems meeting people. It just seemed like they were always just interested in having a fling. I had almost given up hope, when I decided to attend one of your events. It was great to meet so many people that shared my interest in looking for something more meaningful.

Jen, 29, Nutley, NJ

I can’t believe I ever wasted my time with online dating sites, or being set up on blind dates. You guys are the best, bottom line.

Charlie, 32, Clifton, NJ

I own my own business. It entails working a lot of hours, which sometimes includes weekends and some nights. The point is; I don’t have a lot of opportunities to meet people. NJ First Dates is just the kind of thing that busy people like myself have been looking for.

Mike, 38, Paramus, NJ

I was a little hesitant at first but one of my girlfriends dragged me along. I wound up having a really nice time and met a pretty cool guy that I will be seeing again tomorrow (SO EXCITED!)!!!

Olivia, 31, Jersey City, NJ

I usually have a hard enough time finding one person I am interested in, let alone three. I am so glad I decided to attend your event.

Gabriella, 22, Wayne, NJ

I just received your e-mail with my matches. I was so glad to see John’s name on the list of people who felt like they connected with me. I just got off the phone with him and confirmed our date for next Saturday. I’ll keep you posted on how everything turns out.

Isabella, 27, Fair Lawn, NJ

I always liked the idea of dating guys I have met while being out and about. However, the prospect of being alone with someone I barely know always deterred me from doing so. That’s why your event was so great. It was a chance to talk to singles all while in a controlled and safe environment.

Mary, 23, Toms River, NJ

I had tried online dating sites for years, and it always seemed like the same thing would happen. I would meet someone who I seemed to have a lot in common with and possibly connect with. However, whenever we decided to meet up in person, they never looked anything like their photos, or the chemistry was all wrong. There is definitely a lot to be said for meeting someone face to face. Your events took the guess work out of meeting people.

Anthony, 26, Lyndhurst, NJ

My girlfriends and I had heard about speed dating and seen it on TV shows and in movies, so we decided to give it a try. We had such a great time that we are inviting all our friends and making a whole girls night out of it next month.

Chealsea, 25, Chattham, NJ

After Barbara passed away, I didn’t think I would ever find anyone that I could truly connect with. A few family members that had attended some of your events convinced me that I should give it a try. I’ve been with Colleen for over a year now. Thank you for helping me find love again.

Tom, 47, East Rutherford, NJ

Sooo much fun! I went with some friends and we all met someone nice, me and my friends are looking forward to doing it again. Thank you NJFirstDates!!

Heather, 32, Succasunna, NJ

The night could not have been better. The singles were fantastic, the place was chic and intimate, and the staff was friendly and courteous. NJ First Dates really delivers.

Allison, 28, Morristown, NJ

Great selection, met some great guys and made some new girlfriends. Im going back for more next week.

Brandon, 36, Landing, NJ

I’ve always thought that I would have to search the world to find my soul mate. Who knew that this whole time she was hiding just a couple of parkway exits away. I have never been happier with anyone than I am with Janet. Thanks for helping me find love in my own backyard.

Robert, 36, Edison, NJ

I consider myself an ambitious person who is serious about my career. I’ve never been too successful in finding a person whose goals match my own at the whole club/bar scene. That’s why it was so refreshing to meet so many attractive professional women at your event. Here I am three months later in a relationship with a person I really feel I can build a future with and it’s all thanks to you.

John, 34, Hoboken, NJ

Liked the venue. Comfortable atmosphere. Really good time.

Jeannie, 26, Randolph, NJ

I attended one of your speed dating events about six months ago, and consequently met my boyfriend Alex there. I have been singing your praises to my two best friends ever since. Well, they attended your Bergen County even this past April, and now all three of us can say we met our boyfriends thanks to NJ First Dates.

Gina, 23, Union, NJ

I have to admit, I was a bit nervous about trying this whole speed dating thing at first. Your staff was so energetic and fun that all my anxiety seemed to melt away and I found myself having one of the best times I can remember in a long time.

Brenda, 41, Franklin Lakes, NJ

I was able to get to know more single women in one evening, than I would in months of the bar scene. Thanks.

Steve, 28, Linden, NJ

I’ve tried speed dating before, but most of the guys I was interested in were from different states or places I never even heard of before. Who has time for a long-distance relationship these days? I was so glad to be able to meet interesting men that were actually from my area.

Leslie, 32, Parsipanny, NJ

Omg! It's raining men!!

Nicole, 24, Newark, NJ

I can't remember the last time I've seen so many beautiful women in one place.
