About Speed Dating

When Speed Dating burst onto the UK singles scene with a blaze of media interest in 2003 many thought of the events as something of a fad. Not so - Speed Dating has established itself as a staple of the rapidly growing singles market and several years on its popularity remains strong. And for one reason, speed dating works!

The simple format of bringing together around 20 girls and 20 guys to meet for around 4 minutes each works. Dates provide just long enough to establish if you'd like to see someone again - and not too long if you don't!

Sophisticated online matching engines exchange the contact details of your matches and after the event it's over to you to hook up with those you clicked with. Statistics have shown the 80% of attendees meet at least one person that they want to see again.
