Wanna piss Jay off? – Wanna make Jay Happy?
How to piss Jay off
I am going to let you in on a little secret as to the best way to get under my skin. Ready?? It is quite simple..
Pay for an event and then do not show up, and do not call to cancel. If you have wondered how to “get my goat”, that is all you need to do.
I DO NOT WANT YOUR MONEY! Lets clarify that statement. What I want is to give you your moneys worth and put on a quality event. Some of you may be saying, “what is the big deal, he has my money, so what if I do not show up.”   We work very hard at keeping a pretty equal gender balance and if you make a commitment to attend, we are turning away other people because the space has been put aside for you.
Hey, this is life and I understand that things can happen. All I ask is for the heads up if something comes up that prevents you from attending, so that we have a fighting chance to make some adjustments if necessary. Some of you have been awesome by letting me know (special thanks to Laurie to called me from an emergency room to let me know she couldn’t make it).
Please note that having a lot of no shows for a particular event is rare and certainly not the norm. Unfortunately it does happen on rare occasions, and if it does, we will always do the right thing by you.   Please call me at 718-757-6933 if you think you have ever not been treated fairly.
How to make Jay happy
This past Saturday I was hosting an event at Dave & Busters (PS. Great place to hold a holiday other party. Call Karen at 631-249-6455).
About half way through the event I noticed two familiar faces coming towards me. It was Cliff and Laurie.  Laurie was glowing. They had come by to thank me. I said “for what” and then Laurie showed me her engagement ring. Cliff and Laurie had initially met at a RC Dugans speed dating event a few years ago and are getting married next year!
So if you want to make me happy, please keep in touch and share your stories.   It really does mean a lot to me in knowing Weekenddating has played a small part in helping you finding that special someone. Laurie and Cliff stopping by also reminded me that another reunion event is way overdue. At the reunion events, we bring back couples who have met through the events and introduce them to other happy couples. Look for the next reunion event to be announced very soon!
New Free Event
After reconnecting with Laurie and Cliff this past Saturday, I was also reminded that it has been a while since we did a customer appreciation event. So I have changed our Halloween Mingle (Saturday 10/29 in East Meadow) to a FREE Halloween mingle for the next 30 people who have made a prepaid prior reservation to one of our events within the past 5 years. This will be an informal mingle, with an icebreaker game, free food and lots of fun singles!
If you qualify and would like the free code, please email me at Info@Weekenddating.com
The details page for the event is at http://www.weekenddating.com/upcoming.shtml?eventid=992
All the best.

Hi Jay Just wanted to let you know that i met someone special at speed dating two years ago and we are in a very serious relationship. WE met at napper Tandys in northport and have been going strong and having a great time. Thanks Jay
Thanks Sue! for sharing. I had no clue. Can you share who the other half is. The reunion event is coming up soon and I would love you and your other half 🙂 to come.
I will email you privately
Thanks again for letting me know.

Hey Jay,
Why are the men age limits older than the women? That’s not fair!
In one of your groupings, you have the men as up to age 66, and the women age 59. That’s a 7 year difference. Why don’t you mix it up a little, like men 45-57 & women 44-56?
Hi Denise, I agree entirely that it is not fair. Please check out our faq page the answers this question at http://www.weekenddating.com/faq.shtml. Actually to save you time, here is what it says:
Q: Why do most of your events have the male top age higher than the female? That is unfair!!
A: We agree it is unfair and in an ideal world age would not matter. However 80% of the men we speak with are looking for a woman who is younger, where 50% of the women we speak with are looking for a guy who is older. This is why the age brackets are structured the way they are. We have tried to hold events where the ages are the same for men and women, however the turnout suffered. We do hold some non-speed dating events that are open to all ages, or where the ages are equal.
Q: Why don’t you have events for women over 59 and guys over 66? Are we dead???
A: Unfortunately we do not have enough men who want to participate. We have lots of great ladies, but just not enough guys.
Thanks for the reply, but I still feel that you should try the age group I suggested at least once. times have changed & most women my age would like to meet men their age or even a little younger. I am 55 years old. I am told I look like I’m in my early 40s & you can get me hiking or speeding away on a jet ski. The age group you have slotted for me, has men that could join up to age 66. I feel that it would not be worth my while to join & that’s why I haven’t yet.
