Looking for Mr. or Ms. Right? Do you believe in love? Do you appreciate science? If “Yes,” then participate in the premiere speed dating research project at OU for OU students! This event operates as a research project that examines early romantic & sexual attraction among newly met individuals between physical & virtual environments.

To participate, you must be: 1) a student currently attending OU, 2) at least 18 years old, 3) fluent in English, 4) primarily heterosexual, 5) single, & 6) seeking for a romantic/sexual relationship.

Using an online text/chat software, you will individually date up to 12 other opposite-sex daters, rate each dating experience, and indicate if you would like to share your OU contact info with a dater you speed-dated. If you AND your date indicate to exchange contact info, then both of you will later receive each other’s OU email address & full name! Each date will last 5 minutes. In total, this study (online survey: 45 mins. dating: 2 hrs.) is expected to take less than 3 hours.

Admission to speed dating events usually cost around $30. The costs to participate are 1) $0 (free) & 2) completion of an online survey prior to the dating event about your demographics, partner preferences, and sexuality, as well as a full body photograph! The online survey and online speed dating event will take place online at a location of your convenience. Only the first 25 eligible men and women will be allowed to participate!
