So, if you must charge something for the extra overhead of hosting a speed dating event, consider making it a small amount: $5 or $10. Ive seen speed dating events charge anywhere from $25-40 before. We only recommend charging more than $25 for specialized events, which we will cover in our next section.

Do you shake hands or hug on first date?

The classic handshake is fine, however, if you expect more of the date and have already developed a few feelings, its simply too formal. A good alternative is a hug. Thats ok too. But it should be a friendly hug first.
