30s Speed Dating Events In Melbourne

Our speed dating for 30s is a structured event where singles meet multiple potential partners in a short amount of time, typically five minutes per date. At this stage of life, our attendees are often described as career-focused and over apps like Tinder, or Hinge. When dating, they often look for compatibility, shared values, and long-term potential in a partner.

We know being single in your 30s can be both exciting and challenging. Many people in this age group do have well-established careers, are often renting and are now looking to find a meaningful relationship for their next stage of life. I know you have busy schedules and overcoming the pressure of societal expectations. But my tips for dating in your 30s include being clear about your intentions and just looking for someone whose life goals align with yours. So book a ticket because other singles in their thirties are well-educated, career-driven, and value meaningful connections over casual flings. 

Our Venues

In St Kilda, we host events at The Prince Public Bar, known for its stylish décor, vibrant atmosphere, and extensive cocktail menu. These features create a lively environment perfect for breaking the ice and getting to know your dates. A great drink to order here is the Prince Martini.

In Fitzroy, our events at Naked for Satan are enhanced by its rooftop views, tapas menu, and eclectic vibe. This venue encourages relaxed and engaging conversations, making it easy to connect. Try the signature Vodka-infused cocktail. 

South Yarra’s Speakeasy Kitchen Bar offers an intimate setting with its cozy booths, craft beer selection, and live music nights, providing a romantic backdrop for meaningful conversations. The Southside Fizz is a must-try drink here.

What To Expect At Our Events

Booking a ticket for our Melbourne speed dating events is easy through Eventbrite. Once you secure your spot, you’ll receive an email confirmation with event details. On the night, you’ll check in, receive your name card, and scan a QR code to access our Matching App 4.0, where you can see a list of attendees. The event begins with mingling at the bar, followed by the ladies taking their seats while the men rotate every five minutes. You’ll have 12 mini-dates, each lasting five minutes, and you can use our app to mark your preferences. Matches are sent out the next morning at 8am, allowing you to connect with those who also selected you.

Speed Dating Social

Our speed dating social events are designed to bring together like-minded singles in a fun and efficient way. Founded by Darcy Todd in 2020, we’ve hosted over 787 events, introducing more than 37,423 singles. With a commitment to equal gender ratios, we ensure everyone has a great time and an opportunity to meet someone special. Tickets are affordably priced at $29.90 for early birds and $34.90 for last release, with no refunds within 30 days of the event to ensure smooth planning and logistics. For any queries, you can reach out to us at matches@speeddatingsocial.com.

Post Event Epping Date Night Ideas

Meeting other singles in their 30s from Melbourne is a unique experience. They are typically well-rounded individuals, often involved in activities like fitness classes, cooking workshops, or book clubs. Compared to dating apps like Match.com or eHarmony, speed dating offers the advantage of instant chemistry and real-time interaction. 

Local clubs like The Emerson and The Toff in Town are also great spots for singles to mingle and connect. After a successful speed dating event, inviting your match to a romantic destination like the Melbourne Star Observation Wheel or a wine tasting at the Yarra Valley can make for a memorable second date. These locations provide a perfect blend of relaxation and romance, enhancing your connection and creating lasting memories.

Frequently Asked Questions

When speed dating in your 30s, it’s important to dress smart-casual. Aim for something comfortable yet stylish, like a nice pair of jeans or trousers paired with a smart shirt or blouse. For ladies, a dress or a classy top with a skirt or pants works well. A good local clothing shop to check out is “Harrolds” located on Collins Street.

When speed dating, it’s best to discuss topics that showcase your interests and allow your date to share theirs. For Melbourne singles in their 30s, talking about local events or favorite dining spots can be great conversation starters. Mentioning a popular event at the Melbourne Cricket Ground or a favorite brunch spot on Chapel Street could lead to a second date at one of these locations.

Looking good when speed dating involves feeling confident and polished. Visit a local hairdresser or beauty salon like “Heading Out Hair & Beauty” on Bourke Street. Then ask for a fresh, stylish cut or a professional blow-dry to look your best. For a more polished appearance, consider a quick grooming session or a light makeup application.

Our over 30s singles events typically attract around 40 attendees, with an equal number of men and women.
