Where?

Speed dating events are held in stylish bars across the UK. Just search for an event using the top right search box on every page, book yourself a ticket, dress to impress, and you'll find yourself welcomed into a friendly and sociable gathering of like-minded singles all around your own age. If you're interested in speed dating in London you'll have a huge choice including specialist events.

How?

You then get a series of one to one mini 'dates', each lasting around 3 minutes, when you do your best to make a good impression! But don't worry - everyone is in the same boat, and there's really no time to feel awkward. Most people are surprised at how easy the whole speed dating process is, and how the conversation flows.

Make notes as you go along

You'll be given a card to make brief notes as you go along, then after the event you'll get to input your ticks against those people you'd like to see again. When all that's done, you'll find out if you have any 'matches' i.e. anyone you ticked that also ticked you - you'll be free then to make contact, and meet for a proper date, and let the real fun begin!

Come prepared - a few questions up your sleeve will go a long way!

Yes, it really does pay to do a little preparation; you may not need what you've prepared, but it's a great confidence booster knowing you'll never be stuck for something to say. If you need ideas, check out our speed dating questions - many very useful, a few just plain silly!

Who goes?

When you come to a speed dating event, you'll find that there are lots of other people out there, just like you, who are too busy to meet the right people, too shy, or just looking to meet others in a relaxed and natural way. It's a very safe environment, and you won't find yourself chatting up a married man, an engaged woman, or a dodgy character, as you might in a bar. Many events are aimed at specific social or religious groups, which can be important for some people. Click the links for more about Jewish speed dating, and Asian speed dating and singles parties.

The great things is that you won't get stuck with anyone you just don't get on with - the whole idea of speed dating is that you meet lots of people and then you decide who you want to spend more time with. You're 100% in charge!
