Success Stories π
Many have already found loveΒ β€οΈ
βWhen 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 β and thatβs not even counting the sleazeballs.
β a happy attendeeβ
“I would like to let you know that last month,
βI just wanted to let you know…
So thank you for all the effort in putting these events togetherβ¦ donβt 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 “Fabulous 40s and Nifty 50s” crowd! If you’re single and aged 35-55, you’re in for a treat at our upcoming event at Diesel Bar & Eatery. Being single in Melbourne can be both exhilarating and challenging, with its vibrant cafe culture and hidden laneways perfect for romantic strolls. But let’s face it, swiping endlessly on dating apps can get old fast. That’s where our speed dating social comes in, hosted at the popular Diesel Bar & Eatery at 202 Little Lonsdale St.
Easily accessible by public transport, hop on tram 30 and get off at the Melbourne Central stop. Not sure what to wear? Keep it smart casual β grab a stylish outfit from Myer in the nearby Bourke Street Mall. You’ll be meeting singles not just from the CBD, but also neighboring suburbs like Fitzroy and South Yarra, creating a diverse mix of Melbourne’s finest.
How It Works
Our speed dating process is designed to be fun, efficient, and tech-savvy. Upon arrival, you’ll receive a name card and scan a QR code to access our Matching App 4.0. This nifty tool lets you see a list of all attendees on your phone β no more awkward name-forgetting! After some pre-event mingling at the bar, ladies take their seats while our hosts rotate the gents every 5 minutes. You’ll enjoy 12 mini-dates, typically running from 7 to 9 PM.Β
Use the app to select ‘Match’ or ‘Friend’ for each person you meet. The best part? You’ll receive your mutual matches’ contact details at 8 AM the next day. It’s like Tinder, but with real-life chemistry! To break the ice, we’ve got fun games during intermission and conversation cards if you find yourself tongue-tied. With 40 attendees (20 guys and 20 ladies), the equal ratio ensures everyone has a fair shot at making connections.
Who You’ll Meet
The “Fabulous 40s and Nifty 50s” crowd is a unique bunch. Many are established in their careers, possibly divorced or with grown children, and looking for genuine connections. They’ve likely tried various dating methods, from setups by well-meaning friends to navigating the sometimes-confusing world of dating apps. Common challenges include balancing busy schedules, overcoming past relationship baggage, and finding someone with similar life experiences.Β
Our events provide a refreshing alternative to the often-superficial world of online dating. To make the most of your speed dating experience, come with an open mind and a list of thoughtful questions. And if you hit it off with someone, why not suggest a second date at the nearby State Library Victoria? Nothing says romance like bonding over books in a stunning historic setting.

The Venue
Diesel Bar & Eatery, our chosen venue at 202 Little Lonsdale St, offers the perfect blend of ambiance and energy for our speed dating events. This industrial-chic space, converted from a 1920s warehouse, retains its historic charm with exposed brick walls and high ceilings. Owned by Melbourne hospitality veteran Jane Smith, Diesel’s layout creates intimate nooks perfect for our mini-dates.Β
The venue’s signature cocktail, the “Diesel Fuel” (a spicy twist on an Old Fashioned), is a great ice-breaker to share with a potential match. The bar’s live jazz on weekends adds a touch of sophistication to our events, while the outdoor courtyard provides a breath of fresh air between rounds. Pro tip: Arrive early to snag a spot at the vintage bar β it’s a great conversation starter and gives you a prime view of the room.
