Success Stories 💑
Many have already found love ❤️
“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 Melbourne speed dating for the 30-55 age group, affectionately known as the “Prime Timers”! If you’re single in Melbourne, you know the struggle of navigating the bustling dating scene in this vibrant city. But fear not, because Speed Dating Social has got you covered with our exciting events at the iconic Diesel Bar & Eatery, located at 202 Little Lonsdale St, Melbourne VIC 3000.
This popular venue is easily accessible by public transport – just hop on tram 30 and get off at the Melbourne Central station. As for what to wear, smart casual is the way to go, and you can find the perfect outfit at Myer in the nearby Bourke Street Mall. You’ll be meeting singles not just from the CBD, but also from neighboring suburbs like Fitzroy and Carlton, making for a diverse and exciting pool of potential matches.
How It Works
Our speed dating events are designed to take the stress out of meeting new people and finding that spark of romantic connection. When you arrive, you’ll receive a name card and scan a QR code to access our cutting-edge Matching App 4.0, where you can see a list of all attendees. Start by mingling at the bar, then ladies take their seats while our hosts rotate the men every 5 minutes.
You’ll have 12 mini-dates throughout the evening, typically starting at 7 PM and wrapping up by 9 PM. Use our conversation cards if you’re feeling stuck, and enjoy ice breaker games during the intermission. With equal ratios of men and women (usually 20 of each), you’re guaranteed to have someone to talk to. Many attendees find this face-to-face interaction far more rewarding than swiping endlessly on dating apps like Tinder or Bumble.
Who You’ll Meet
The Prime Timers demographic is a fascinating mix of professionals, divorcees, and those who’ve focused on their careers and are now ready to find love. They’ve tried everything from online dating to setups by well-meaning friends, but often struggle with the time constraints of busy lives and the challenge of meeting like-minded individuals. Many hang out at trendy wine bars or local cafes, hoping to catch the eye of a potential partner.
To make the most of your speed dating experience, be open, authentic, and don’t be afraid to show your quirky side – it might just be what sets you apart! And if you hit it off with someone, why not suggest a second date at the nearby State Library Victoria? It’s a perfect spot for intellectual conversation and a touch of romance among the books.
Your Host
Speed Dating Social, founded by Darcy Todd in 2020, has a proven track record of success. With over 787 events under our belt and more than 37,423 singles introduced, we pride ourselves on maintaining equal ratios of men and women at every event. Tickets are affordably priced at $29.90 for early birds and $34.90 for last-minute decision-makers. While we don’t offer refunds, we guarantee a night of fun and potential connections. For any queries, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at matches@speeddatingsocial.com.
The Venue
Diesel Bar & Eatery, our chosen venue, is more than just a bar – it’s an experience. Originally a textile factory in the 1920s, it was transformed into a bar in 2005 by local restaurateur Mark Smith, adding a unique industrial chic vibe to your dating adventure. The exposed brick walls and vintage machinery create conversation starters, while the intimate booths offer privacy for your mini-dates.
The bar’s signature cocktail, the “Diesel Fuel” – a spicy twist on an Old Fashioned – is the perfect ice breaker to order for your date. The venue’s open layout allows for easy movement between dates, and the ambient lighting sets the mood for romance. Pro tip: Arrive a bit early to snag a spot at the vintage bar, it’s a great place to calm your nerves and make a memorable first impression on your fellow singles.
