What types of people go speed dating? People like you, is the answer. Most speed daters are people who lead busy lives and don't have much spare time and want to meet new people in a fun, safe environment. They're generally normal, attractive people with varied interests and professions who don’t get the chance to meet people outside of work. Back to Top
Can I bring a friend? Yes of course. Many people ask a friend to accompany them for moral support. Please contact us to confirm we can accommodate your friends who want to come along but not participate. Back to Top
How safe it speed dating? Speedy Date UK are probably the only speed dating company who have a fully qualified SIA approved Door Supervisor present at every event, we want you to have a fun night but also feel safe, this should reassure any ladies who wish to attend one of our events on their own. Even so, we still advise you to use the same safety principles as you would on any other night out.
Tell your family and friends where you will be, don't give out your address too readily and make sure you have reliable transport for your journey home. Back to Top
Do I have to give out my personal details to other speed daters on the night? No, You don't have to give out personal contact details on the night and we don't recommend it; it's all done for you by us using emails. Back to Top
How does the speed dating event work? When you arrive you’ll be welcomed by you Speedy Date UK host, put at your ease and given your drink voucher and badge. Once the dating part of the evening begins, the person with badge number one will go to table number one, those with badge number two go to table number two and so on. Once seated you'll ask each other a few questions, and generally see if there’s any chemistry between each other then you'll put on your sheet yes, no or friend. After four minutes, a whistlel will sound, all the girls remain seated and all the guys move to the next table. This continues until half time when you’ll be given a fifteen-minute break to recharge your batteries, and then it’s back to chat until you have met all of the other speed daters.Back to Top
