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
Discover the exciting world of speed dating for professionals aged 30-55 at Diesel Bar & Eatery in Melbourne’s bustling CBD. This “Executive Encounters” event caters to career-driven singles looking for meaningful connections in a city known for its vibrant dating scene. Being single in Melbourne offers unique opportunities, from cozy coffee dates in hidden laneways to romantic strolls along the Yarra River.
Diesel Bar & Eatery, located at 202 Little Lonsdale St, Melbourne VIC 3000, provides the perfect backdrop for this singles event. Easily accessible by public transport, catch tram 30 or 35 and hop off at the State Library stop. For a stylish outfit that’ll impress, visit David Jones in the nearby Bourke Street Mall. You’ll meet fellow singles from neighboring suburbs like Carlton and Fitzroy, creating a diverse mix of professionals eager to connect.
How It Works
The speed dating process at Executive Encounters is designed for efficiency and fun. Upon arrival, you’ll receive a name card and scan a QR code to access the Matching App 4.0, where you can view profiles of all attendees. After some initial mingling at the bar, ladies take their seats while gentlemen rotate every 5 minutes, guided by friendly hosts. You’ll enjoy 12 mini-dates lasting 5 minutes each, typically running from 7 to 9 PM.
Use the app to select ‘Match’ or ‘Friend’ for each person you meet, with contact details for mutual matches sent the next morning at 8 AM. Ice breaker games and conversation cards keep the energy high during intermissions. With a balanced ratio of 20 men and 20 women, you’re guaranteed engaging conversations throughout the night. Many attendees find this face-to-face approach more genuine and exciting compared to popular dating apps like Tinder or Bumble.
Who You’ll Meet
The 30-55 age group at Executive Encounters represents a unique demographic of established professionals. These singles are often balancing successful careers with the desire for a meaningful relationship. Many have experienced long-term partnerships or divorces and are now navigating the dating scene with newfound wisdom. They value authenticity and are looking for partners who share their life experiences and future aspirations.
Common challenges include limited time for dating due to work commitments and finding compatible matches who understand their lifestyle. To make the most of your speed dating experience, be open, authentic, and prepared with interesting conversation starters. For a memorable second date, consider taking your match to the nearby NGV International for a cultural experience that’s sure to impress.

The Venue
Diesel Bar & Eatery, your host venue, is a Melbourne institution that adds character to your speed dating experience. Originally built in the 1920s as a mechanics workshop, it was transformed into a bar in the early 2000s by local restaurateur Sam Gance. The industrial-chic decor, featuring exposed brick walls and vintage car parts, creates a unique atmosphere for your mini-dates.
The spacious layout allows for comfortable seating arrangements, while the ambient lighting sets a romantic mood. Don’t miss their signature cocktail, the “Diesel Fuel Martini,” a perfect ice-breaker to share with a potential match. The bar’s central location and vibrant ambiance make it an ideal spot for continuing conversations after the official event ends. Pro tip: Arrive early to familiarize yourself with the venue and calm any pre-event jitters with a relaxing drink at the bar.
