“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
Alright, buckle up Melbourne singles, because we’re about to embark on a whirlwind tour of the city’s hottest speed dating event! If you’re tired of swiping left and right faster than a tram zooming down Swanston Street, then Speed Dating Social’s 31-47 years bash at Diesel Bar & Eatery is your ticket to ride the love train.
Picture this: You’re single in Melbourne, dodging hook-up hungry backpackers on Hosier Lane and awkwardly avoiding eye contact with that cutie at your local Woolies. Sound familiar? Well, it’s time to ditch the dating apps and dive into the real world of romance at 202 Little Lonsdale Street. Diesel Bar & Eatery isn’t just another watering hole in the CBD; it’s your launchpad to love! Hop on the 86 or 96 tram and zip right to the doorstep of possibility. And hey, if you’re feeling fancy (or just want to make a stellar first impression), swing by Emporium Melbourne for a fresh outfit that screams “I’m here to meet my Melbourne match!” You’ll be rubbing elbows with singles from neighboring Richmond and Fitzroy, so bring your A-game and maybe brush up on your knowledge of obscure coffee roasts and AFL teams.
How It Works
Now, let’s break down the night faster than a Melburnian’s weather changes. You’ll start by grabbing your name tag and scanning the QR code for the Matching App 4.0 – it’s like Tinder, but with actual humans in front of you (revolutionary, right?). Mingle at the bar, maybe practice your best “How about this weather?” opener, then ladies take a seat while the gents play musical chairs every five minutes. It’s like The Bachelor, but without the roses and with 100% less Chris Harrison.
You’ll have 12 five-minute mini-dates, which is about the attention span of your average doom-scroller anyway. From 7 to 9 PM, you’ll be chatting, laughing, and maybe even falling in love faster than you can say “smashed avo.” And if you get tongue-tied, there are conversation cards to save you from awkward silences. With 20 guys and 20 gals, the odds are better than finding a car park in the CBD on a Saturday night. Trust me, it beats endlessly messaging “hey” on Bumble or trying to decipher if that Hinge prompt is ironic or not.
Who You’ll Meet
So, who’s going to be there? Well, imagine a room full of 31 to 47-year-olds who’ve survived the dating apocalypse of the 2020s. These are people who remember a time before Netflix and chill, when “sliding into DMs” meant literally sliding across the dance floor at Revolver Upstairs. They’re professionals who’ve mastered the art of balancing a busy career with a social life, and they’re ready to add “successful relationship” to their LinkedIn skills.
These singles have tried everything from blind dates set up by well-meaning colleagues to awkward singles nights at their local pub. They’re facing challenges like finding time to date between deadlines and figuring out how to meet people outside their immediate social circle. But fear not! Speed Dating Social is here to break the ice faster than global warming is melting the polar caps. And here’s a hot tip: if you hit it off with someone, suggest a second date at the nearby State Library Victoria. Nothing says “I’m cultured and mysterious” like whispering sweet nothings among the stacks.
Your Host
Now, let’s talk credentials. Speed Dating Social isn’t some fly-by-night operation; they’re the real deal, baby. Founded by love guru Darcy Todd in 2020 (because what better time to start a dating business than during a global pandemic, right?), they’ve hosted over 787 events and introduced more than 37,423 singles. That’s more matches than the MCG sees in a footy season!
They always ensure equal ratios, so you won’t be left high and dry like a Melburnian without an umbrella. Tickets are a steal at $29.90 for early birds and $34.90 for procrastinators. No refunds, but honestly, can you put a price on potentially meeting the love of your life? If you’ve got questions, hit up matches@speeddatingsocial.com faster than you’d swipe right on Chris Hemsworth.
The Venue
Last but not least, let’s dish about the venue. Diesel Bar & Eatery isn’t just another hipster hangout. This Little Lonsdale gem was once a mechanics garage in the 1950s before being transformed into the cozy, industrial-chic hotspot it is today. Owned by the charismatic duo, Jake and Elwood (no, not the Blues Brothers, but close), this place oozes character faster than a burst pipe in a share house. The exposed brick walls and vintage car parts decorating the space create the perfect backdrop for your mini-dates.
It’s like speed dating in a Tarantino film, minus the violence and with 100% more romance. The bar’s signature “Fuel Injection” cocktail is the perfect liquid courage to get those conversations flowing. And let’s be real, speed dating at Diesel is like test-driving a dozen potential partners in one night – efficient, exciting, and way less paperwork than at an actual dealership. Pro tip: arrive early to snag a seat at the repurposed engine block table – it’s a great conversation starter and might just help you find someone who revs your engine!
