Over Asian Speed Dating Events In Melbourne
Our Asian speed dating events in Melbourne are designed to connect singles from various Asian backgrounds, including Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, and many others. You’ll engage in a series of quick, structured mini-dates lasting five minutes each. This format allows attendees to meet a diverse group of people over the course of one evening, maximizing your chances of finding a compatible partner.
You’ll find Melbourne is home to a vibrant Asian community, with significant populations concentrated in suburbs such as Box Hill, Richmond, and Clayton. These areas are known for their rich cultural heritage and active social scenes, making them ideal locations for our speed dating events.
Our Venues
The Jade Dragon, Box Hill: Nestled in the heart of Box Hill, The Jade Dragon boasts an authentic Oriental decor, with red lanterns and jade motifs enhancing the romantic ambiance. The venue offers a private room perfect for Asian speed dating nights, ensuring conversations remain personal and undisturbed. The signature drink, the “Dragon’s Breath,” a spicy-sweet cocktail, complements the night’s excitement. Originally a traditional teahouse, it was transformed into a modern meeting spot by owner Li Wei, creating a perfect blend of old and new that enriches the speed dating experience.
Lotus Lounge, Richmond: This chic bar in Richmond is known for its modern Asian aesthetic, featuring minimalist decor and ambient lighting that sets the mood for intimate conversations. Its open-plan layout allows for smooth transitions between dates, while the quiet corners provide space for deeper discussions. The “Lotus Blossom Martini” is a must-try. The transformation from an old warehouse to a trendy lounge by entrepreneur Kim-Sun Young offers a stylish, comfortable setting ideal for our Asian singles events.
Bamboo Bistro, Clayton: With its lush bamboo garden and serene water features, the Bamboo Bistro in Clayton offers a tranquil dating environment that appeals to those who appreciate a calm, relaxed dating atmosphere. The specialty drink here is the “Bamboo Shoot,” a refreshing mix of gin and green tea. The venue, once a community library, was revamped by its current owner, Hiro Tanaka, adding a touch of tranquility that enhances the thoughtful nature of speed dating events held here.
Who You'll Meet
Our attendees come from diverse Asian backgrounds, enriching the event with a wide range of languages, cultural practices, and life experiences. Participants often include professionals, creatives, and academics, all looking for a meaningful connection. While dating apps like TanTan and EastMeetEast offer a way to meet other Asian singles, they lack the immediacy and personal touch of face-to-face interactions. Our speed dating provides a real-time conversation that can lead to deeper connections and more authentic interactions than the often superficial encounters on dating apps.
When it comes to dating, many Asian singles look for:
- Cultural Compatibility: Sharing similar cultural values and traditions is often important.
- Education and Career Aspirations: Professional achievements and ambitions can play a significant role in match preferences.
- Family Values: Respect for family and elder opinions is highly regarded in many Asian cultures.
How it Works
Upon booking a ticket via Eventbrite, attendees choose their preferred age group—20s, 30s, 40s, or over 50s. At the event, participants receive a name card and scan a QR code to access the Matching App 4.0. After an initial mingling session, women are seated while men rotate every five minutes. A midway break provides a moment to relax before completing the dates. Participants then select who to ‘Match’ or ‘Friend’ directly from their phones, with contact details exchanged the next day.
