About this biz- Good, Bad, Ugly- Conclusion
So far in part 1 we discussed some of the great things that I love about this business as well as a few bizarre incidents. Part 2 continued with the bizarre incidents and started with some of the frustrating aspects of this business. In this final part to the saga, we will continue with some of the things that I find frustrating or drives me nuts about this business.

People not getting a match or not matching with the one they wanted: This one really sucks. Thankfully, it does not happen too often, but I do feel pain when having to send an email letting someone know that they did not have a match. Nowadays, most companies are shifting over towards an automated system whereby the participant logs their selections after the event and the computer does everything. I still believe that you paid for the event, and that you should not have to do homework afterwards, so we do the matching for you. That involves entering your selections into the computer and then hitting the button to send you the matches. Note: About 90% of the participants on average get a match or one way match.

Side note/ story: I work really hard at putting on a very organized event, but what happens after the event is out of my control. I had a former customer who believed that it was my responsibility to follow up with each of the ladies from an event and inquire why they did not select him. As much as I would like to help, this is really outside of the scope of the business. Weekenddating.com is not a dating service. We run singles events.

People who pay for an event and either do not show up or run away after they check in.
I know what many of you may be thinking. “What does it matter to him if I don’t show up or I leave? He got his money, so no big deal.”

I cannot stress how much it IS A HUGE DEAL if you do this. Yes, WeekendDating is how I put food on my table, but this is not about taking your money. It is about giving you a quality event and giving you the opportunity to meet someone who can change your life forever. If you pay for an event, but do not let me know that you are not coming, or you get nervous and leave, your actions can potentially be ruining the event for 20+ other people.

Let’s look at an actual email I received from someone that just drove me nuts! and examine the trickle down effect:

Hey Jay:
I gave it a shot. I shlepped in from Jersey. I was on time. It started late. There were only 7 women. I don’t get it. Your employee was great. I left before it started. Total disappointment.
Regards,

Michael

Ok, lets break this email down a bit and add in the facts.

This particular event took place in Manhattan and was scheduled to start at 8:15 PM. Here is what happened:

• Three ladies were running late to the event, so we were waiting a few extra minutes before we got started. We did not want to start the event with only 7 ladies. One additional woman paid for the event, but did not call to cancel, and just didn’t show up. 10+ ladies who were on a wait list were turned away from the event.
• Our hostess let all the participants know that we would be starting a few minutes late because some people were delayed.
• Michael decided to bolt without telling anyone and snuck out the back door, subsequently emailing me that he “gave it a shot.” Ugg, Michael if you are reading this.. Sorry my friend, you did not give anything a shot, you bolted out the back door and royally screwed up the event.
• The three ladies arrived and we started the event at approximately 8:30 PM. One of the ladies was annoyed that she had to start the event on a break spot (Michael had bolted), and convinced the other two women that they should all just leave. This created excess break spots for the guys.

So I can not stress this enough. Please, if you register for an event and can not make it, kindly give us the courtesy of letting us know that you will not be attending. It really makes a huge difference.

If things get screwed up

Thankfully the above incident does not happen very often and 90-95% of the events go off without a hitch. That being said, if on a rare occasion, something like the above does happen, please know that I will always do the right thing. I am not interested in just taking your money. I want to give you a good show, a quality event, and if things get messed up, I will do right by you.

*Less than 8 dates – If for any reason, you had less than 8 dates, you would get a free event on top of the event you attended (Note- In 8+ years of business, this has maybe happened 4 or 5 times)

*8 Dates- Technically speaking 8 dates does meet the quota for the minimum number of dates, but I am not sure you would fully be getting your money’s worth. Typically we would send you a coupon for $15 off another event.

PS- If you have a gripe or an issue about anything that takes place at an event, I really do want to know about it. I can’t fix it or attempt to fix it, if you don’t tell me, so feel free to reach out at info@Weekenddating.com or call me at 718-757-6933. The one thing I can not control is the backgrounds of the people you will meet. Weekenddating is not a dating service and we have had all types of backgrounds ranging from Doctors to Lawyers to Teachers, Nurses, Construction Workers, Mechanics, etc.

Thanks very much for listening to me ramble.
