Date Etiquette

Whether you are dating in Denver or single somewhere else in the world, everyone gets nervous before a first date. There is advice galore out there for what to do and not to do on a first date. But all of that advice is useless if you don’t start the date off on time.

What Time Should You Arrive for a Date?

Early? Right on time? Fashionably late? My advice is 5 minutes early. Why is that? Well, think about it. You are waiting at the bar for your date to arrive. Maybe you have been stood up before, maybe you haven’t, but either way there is always some doubt as to whether your date will show up this time. The longer those clock hands tick past the start time of your date, the more those feelings of doubt start to build. By the time you arrive, even if it’s just 5 minutes late, you are starting out with a big black mark, even if your date says they understand.

You Know You’re Late

As soon as you know you are going to be even just a few minutes late, give your date a call. Don’t have the number? Call the restaurant or bar and have them find your date and let him/her know. Even if it is time for your date to start and you just found a meter, so you are almost there, call and let your date know! Got a last minute phone call before you left the house or the office but think you can make up time, touch base with your date. Disagree? Have some other advice? We want to hear it, post a response!

What is Ignite’s success rate?

This depends on how you define success. Since not all of our clients want to get married, we can’t define success by the number of marriages. So we define success as being in a 12 month or longer relationship with someone we introduce you to. Based on our definition, 85% of our men end up in a successful relationship. While we don’t require marriage, we do have many of them. Our first 2008 wedding will be happening in May!

Do you charge women anything?

Our women clients must have a vested interest in the process so we charge women a nominal fee of $150 to register with us. This covers the cost of your background check, interview time (2 hours), drafting of your personal profile, and administrative time necessary in adding you to our system.

How is Ignite different from just any other blind date?

admin — Tue, 16 Jan 2007 21:50:09 +0000

Most friends, while well meaning, don’t tend to put a lot of thought into the process when they set up single friends with each other. We listen closely to our clients needs, wants and desires and we match our clients based on all of the information we gather to ensure that our clients have great 1st dates.

How is Ignite different from internet dating?

admin — Tue, 16 Jan 2007 21:49:45 +0000

We know everyone personally and we hand select the potential matches based on our experience and expertise, that’s the biggest difference. We also background check our clients, ensure that they look like their picture, and provide feedback to you if a date doesn’t work out to help you date better in the future.

What kind of woman registers with your service?

The majority of our women are attractive, successful, independent and well educated. For many of the same reasons as the men, they just aren’t meeting the right match.
