“When I went to my first speed dating event, I had zero expectations
You may not find someone the first time or the 10th time, but at least these guys take the trouble to show up and put their best foot forward. They are making the effort which is more than I can say for some people on online dating sites – and that’s not even counting the sleazeballs.
– a happy attendee”
“I would like to let you know that last month,
“I just wanted to let you know…
So thank you for all the effort in putting these events together… don’t worry about giving me a refund on the ticket, maybe you can give that to someone that rocks up on the night without a ticket as I know how hard They are to get. thanks so much again.”

Event Details
Welcome to the world of speed dating for Melbourne’s “Xennial” crowd – those born between 1977 and 1993, now aged 31-47. If you’re single in Melbourne, you know the struggle is real. Between swiping endlessly on Tinder and awkward setups by well-meaning friends, finding love can feel like searching for a needle in a hipster haystack. But fear not! Speed Dating Social is here to shake up your love life at the iconic Diesel Bar and Eatery in the heart of Melbourne.
Located at 202 Little Lonsdale St, this hotspot is just a short walk from Melbourne Central Station (catch the 19 tram if you’re feeling lazy). Wondering what to wear? Keep it smart casual – Melburnians know how to balance style and comfort. Pop into Dangerfield on Swanston Street for some quirky vintage-inspired pieces that’ll make you stand out. You’ll be mingling with singles from neighbouring Fitzroy and Carlton, so bring your A-game and get ready for a night of potential romance and new connections.
How It Works
Now, let’s break down the Speed Dating Social experience. Upon arrival, you’ll receive a name card and scan a QR code to access the cutting-edge Matching App 4.0. This nifty tool lets you see a list of all attendees right on your phone – no more awkward name-forgetting moments! After some pre-event mingling at the bar, ladies take their seats while the gents rotate every five minutes. It’s like musical chairs, but with the potential for love!
You’ll have 12 five-minute mini-dates from 7-9pm, giving you plenty of time to charm (or be charmed by) your fellow singles. Feeling nervous? No worries! There are ice breaker games during intermission and conversation cards to keep things flowing. With an equal ratio of 20 guys and 20 gals, you’re guaranteed to meet someone new. Trust us, it beats swiping right on Bumble or crafting the perfect OkCupid profile any day of the week.
Who You’ll Meet
So, who exactly will you meet at this shindig? Picture a room full of accomplished professionals in their 30s and early 40s, all navigating the tricky waters of dating in the digital age. These are people who’ve established careers, maybe bought their first home, and are ready for a meaningful connection. They’ve tried the apps, maybe even a dating website or two, but they’re craving that face-to-face spark. Many have weathered the storm of a divorce or long-term relationship breakup and are ready to dive back into the dating pool.
They’re hanging out at rooftop bars in the CBD, brunching in Brunswick, and secretly hoping to bump into “the one” at their local farmers market. The challenge? Finding time to date while juggling busy careers and possibly kids. Pro tip: Come prepared with open-ended questions that go beyond the usual “what do you do?” For a stellar second date idea, suggest a romantic stroll through the Royal Botanic Gardens, followed by a sunset picnic overlooking the Yarra River.
Your Host
Speed Dating Social isn’t just another flash-in-the-pan dating service. Founded by matchmaking maestro Darcy Todd in 2020, they’ve hosted over 787 events and introduced more than 37,423 singles. Their secret sauce? Always booking equal ratios of men and women, ensuring you’re never left talking to a potted plant. Tickets start at a wallet-friendly $29.90 for early birds, with last-release tickets at $34.90.
And while they can’t guarantee you’ll find “the one,” they can promise a night of fun and potential connections. Just remember, there are no refunds within 30 days of an event – commitment is key in love and speed dating! Got questions? Drop a line to matches@speeddatingsocial.com.
The Venue
Now, let’s talk about the venue. Diesel Bar and Eatery isn’t just any old watering hole. This architectural gem was originally built in the 1920s as a textile factory before being transformed into the trendy gastropub we know and love today. Owned by Melbourne hospitality legend Paul Adamo, Diesel’s industrial-chic vibe creates the perfect backdrop for your speed dating adventure. The exposed brick walls and vintage machinery scattered throughout serve as great conversation starters (trust us, you’ll be grateful for those when the nerves kick in).
The mezzanine level offers a cozy spot for more intimate chats during the pre-event mingling, while the spacious main bar area ensures smooth transitions between your mini-dates. Don’t forget to order their signature espresso martini – it’s the perfect liquid courage to keep you chatting all night long. With its central location and unique ambiance, Diesel Bar turns speed dating from potentially awkward to undeniably cool. Pro tip: Arrive early to snag a spot at the bar and scope out your fellow daters before the official start time. Who knows? You might just find your perfect match before the clock even starts ticking!
