 How does padlock and key Ice breaker works?

• Every men gets a key and women select the padlocks
• Men have to go and figure out which key opens which padlock.
• There is only ONE key matching the lock. 
• Men can change key as much as they want all through the ice breaker but women can change lock ONLY when there is a match.
• When matches happen, both receives raffle ticket for prizes at the end of the evening
• Mix & Mingle while seeing which key open which lock
• If the key opens the lock...celebrate you've been matched, but not through our scorecard system. The scorecard will be used for actual romantic interest, not as an icebreaker. 
• Raise your hands to receive a raffle ticket
• The more you play the more chances you have in winning grand prizes!

Why our International Singles Mixer?

 The greater Washington area is characterized by diversity and now it is more crucial than ever to celebrate our differences.  We are all of equal worth, born equal in dignity and born free, and for this reason deserving of respect whatever our external circumstances. We are made to exist in a life that should be marked by cooperation, interdependence, sharing, caring, compassion and complementary.

We should celebrate our diversity; we should exult in our differences as making not for separation and alienation and hostility but for their glorious opposites. The law of our being is to live in solidarity, friendship, helpfulness, unselfishness, interdependence and complementary as sisters and brothers in one family — the human family. Anything else, as we have experienced, is disaster. 

We need so much to work for coexistence, for tolerance, and to say, “I disagree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to your opinion.” It is only when we respect even our adversaries and see them not as ogres, dehumanized, demonized, but as fellow human beings deserving respect for their person hood and dignity, that we will conduct a discourse that just might prevent conflict. There is room for everyone; there is room for every culture, race, language and point of view.
 
We are hosting an event that is dedicated to the Internationals living in our country as well as our born and raised citizens who wish to meet people from a wide range of races, ethnicity, and religions. There is no city in the world that has such an interesting and diverse mix of culture than our country, and it is one of the reasons we all choose to live in the DMV area. We are proud of the fact that our friends, our colleagues and our dates could have a completely different nationality or ethnic background than ourselves.

One way to celebrate the melting pot that is the DMV area (and to also broaden our dating and relationship experiences) is to attend our unique International Mixer event.  In one sense, you're one of many mini-dates with a typical DC single, but on the other hand, you're dating the world.

Of course everyone is welcome at all of our events, but this event is for people who are interested in meeting diverse peace minded individuals coming from every corner of the world.

When did it all begin?

   I can't really believe it been over 12 years that I have worked in getting singles together to meet and mingle. For the past several years, many singles have gone sick and tired of online dating and the many disappointments. Our events eliminate drastically the possibilities of fake online pictures, dating scams, lies and deceptions (at least to a minimum). We focus primarily in making our events fun and as least intimidating as possible. Our ice breakers alleviate the stress in meeting a bunch of strangers in one evening. 

Finding that perfect mate is on many people's to do list, although, many of the people that are single are so busy making ends meet that it can hinder their search. Online dating used to be very popular, but it lacks the personal touch that meeting people in person has. There is a rise in the interest in our singles mixers and using our icebreaker activities speed dating as a vehicle to make our events as fun and successful as possible to possibly meet your soulmate. 

You will have a fun night. Just come out and try it!!!

-John, Potomac, MD

“ I had a blast last night at the Speed dating event by Lightning Speed Dating.  Everything was so organized and the energy for the event was open and fun, which made conversations and connecting so much easier.  Unlike a disappointing prior speed dating experience which I had with the company- Prosinthecity- last night's event was so much better. I highly recommend Lightning Speed dating.”
