MetyahDating is online dating in reverse. Instead of swiping, matching, and messaging forever without ever meeting the person, you'll get the face-to-face chemistry check out of the way first. The Metyah web-based profile and messaging platform lets you create a dating app-style profile (name, pic, age, location) so you can go home after the event, log in, and start messaging the people you just met to let them know you're interested. NOTE: You can list a variation of your first name on your profile or even use an alias, as long as you use the same name on your name tag.
You don't need to download an app. This can all be done using a tablet, smartphone, desktop or laptop.
THE BENEFITS:
You can learn if you have matches in real time, no waiting period.
No social media account or app that drains your battery required.
You don't have to worry about sharing an easily traceable email address that contains your last name, full name or place of work.
Messaging capabilities end 48hrs after the event. That means you're less likely to receive awkward follow-up messages if there isn't mutual interest.
If you attend another Metyah speeddating event or mixer, you can reactivate your profile so you don't have to make another one.
ADMISSION INCLUDES:
Chemistry compatibility questions available to use as conversation starters.
Licensing fee for use of the Metyah web-based messaging app
Print outs and supplies like name tags and pens
Bar gratuity
Host fee
HOW IT WORKS:
Register here.
A few days before the event, you will receive an email and text from us. In the message will be a secret code and a link to use to create a Metyah profile. You will receive a second email and text with the code and link the day of the event, just in case.
Arrive at the venue to check-in. A group rep will be on site to greet you and check you in. You'll be given a sheet to write down the names of people you meet.
Once every has arrived, you'll be seated and will start your first of 7-12 "metyas" lasting 3-4 minutes each.
AFTER THE EVENT
Log on to the Metyah web-based app and start messaging! You will have 48 hours to contact the people you met.NOTE: No response is a response. Please do not send follow-up messages unless someone has replied to your initial email. Reports of misuse of the system (spam/abuse/inappropriate language) will result in banning from all future events as well as any other action required to ensure the behavior doesn't continue.
If someone responds, you'll receive an email sent to the account you used to register.
Strike up a conversation, give them the contact info of your choice, and meet up!
Since all messaging occurs on the Metyah site, no personal or identifiable contact info will be visible or shared until YOU decide when to share the information.
Messaging capabilities and profiles will not be available until after the event has ended. That way there's no awkward on-site messaging.
IMPORTANT
We will still utilize dating cards and collect them after the event, in case there's a technical glitch.
Only the profiles of people who checked-in at the event will be eligible for messaging.
