Speed Dating Social Singles Nights
Meet People and make friends
I would like to let you know that last month,
“When I went to my first speed dating event, I had zero expectations
You may not find someone the first time or the 10th time, but at least these guys take the trouble to show up and put their best foot forward. They are making the effort which is more than I can say for some people on online dating sites – and that’s not even counting the sleazeballs.
– a happy attendee”
Speed Dating Social’s Melbourne Singles Events
It’s simple and a fast easy way to meet a whole bunch of singles who share your age range in a short period of time. So put down Bumble, stop getting ghosted on Tinder and join in one of our singles events.
Hosted by Darcy and his amazing crew, each event promises a series of 12 fun fast 5 minute dates. That way you’re not stuck on an awkward dinner date and can easily get a taste of what each person is like in person.
These singles nights are currently held at Diesel Bar near Melbourne Central and Miranda bar near Flinders Station in the CBD. Each night we book over 40 attendees with 50:50 ratios.
My friend jokes about their assembly line efficiently, but being introduced to a bunch of singles in one evening definitely has its advantages. For one, you know everyone’s paid so they’re serious and less flaky. And you can select an event based on age group, lifestyle or ethnicity; such as over 40s nights, LGBTQ and Christian singles events in Victoria.
Choose the right age bracket
Before you start your first speed dating event it’s important to choose the right age bracket. That way you know everyone is at a same life stage as you. Our singles events cover everyone from their 20s right up to over 60s.
