“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
Hey there, fellow Xennials and Millennials! Are you ready to ditch the dating apps and meet some real-life potential matches? Speed Dating Social is bringing the excitement to Melbourne’s CBD with our 31-47 year old event at the trendy Diesel Bar & Eatery. Being single in Melbourne can be a wild ride – one minute you’re sipping lattes in hidden laneways, the next you’re wondering if your soulmate is hidden somewhere in this coffee-obsessed city.
Well, we’re here to help you find them! Our event is held at Diesel Bar & Eatery (202 Little Lonsdale St, Melbourne VIC 3000), easily accessible via the 30 tram or a short walk from Melbourne Central station. Ladies, why not pop into Alpha60 on Flinders Lane for a chic outfit? Gents, Incu on Flinders Lane has got you covered. You’ll be mingling with singles not just from the CBD, but also from neighboring Fitzroy and Carlton, so get ready for a diverse and exciting crowd!
How It Works
Here’s how our speed dating magic unfolds: When you arrive, you’ll receive a name card and scan a QR code to access our nifty Matching App 4.0. This app lets you see who’s attending and keeps track of your matches – no more awkward name forgetting! Start by mingling at the bar (maybe grab a famous Melbourne cocktail for liquid courage?), then the ladies take their seats while the gents rotate every 5 minutes. You’ll have 12 mini-dates in total, running from 7 to 9 pm.
Don’t worry if you’re feeling a bit nervous – we’ve got ice breaker games during the intermission and conversation cards if you’re stuck for words. With 40 attendees (20 of each gender), you’re guaranteed equal ratios – no more endlessly swiping on Tinder or waiting for that Bumble match to message back. At the end of the night, simply select ‘Match’ or ‘Friend’ on your app, and you’ll get your matches’ contact details at 8 am the next day. Pro tip: Be open-minded and give everyone a fair shot – sometimes chemistry surprises you!
Who You’ll Meet
At our 31-47 event, you’ll meet a mix of seasoned professionals, creative entrepreneurs, and maybe even a few career changers looking for love in the world’s most liveable city. These are folks who’ve nailed their flat white order but are still perfecting their dating game. They’re navigating career peaks, maybe juggling single parenthood, and definitely looking for meaningful connections. Many have tried every dating app under the sun and are craving real-life interactions.
The challenge? Finding time to date while balancing demanding jobs, social commitments, and maybe even a cheeky side hustle. Our advice? Be authentic, ask about their favorite hidden Melbourne spots, and don’t be afraid to show your quirky side. Remember, everyone’s in the same boat! If you hit it off with someone, why not suggest a second date at the nearby State Library Victoria? Take a romantic stroll through the beautiful reading rooms, geek out over rare books, and get to know each other better in one of Melbourne’s most iconic buildings.

The Venue
Now, let’s talk about our venue. Diesel Bar & Eatery is a true Melbourne gem, nestled in the heart of the CBD. This stylish bar and restaurant, opened in 2015 in what was once an old mechanics workshop, perfectly embodies Melbourne’s knack for transforming industrial spaces into hip hangouts. Its exposed brick walls and moody lighting create the perfect atmosphere for sparking connections. The long, inviting bar is great for those pre-event jitters, while the intimate booth seating areas provide the ideal setting for your mini-dates.
Don’t miss their signature “Diesel Fuel” cocktail – it’s a great conversation starter and might just give you that extra boost of confidence! The bar’s layout is perfect for our events, allowing for smooth transitions between dates and creating a buzzing atmosphere of anticipation and excitement. Our top tip? Arrive a bit early to soak in the ambiance and maybe strike up a conversation with a fellow early bird over a cheese board. Who knows, you might just find your perfect match in the heart of Melbourne’s laneway culture!
