Success Stories πŸ’‘

Many have already found love ❀️

β€œWhen I went to my first speed dating event, I had zero expectations

– less than zero actually.
But yup, when I walked into that bar, I saw him and went all nervous.
I wouldn’t say our first conversation was scintillating. I don’t even remember what small talk we made – maybe our jobs.
At the end of the event, I saw him sitting alone and asked whether I could sit next to him. He said he wanted to see me again and I said the same.
We are now happily and exclusively together. If I have any advice to give anyone, it would be to give speed dating a try. I was lucky to have found my person the first time around. But I had been online dating for a year with no success.

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 attended one of your speed dating nights in Hardware Lane and met the most beautiful girl. We connected and you sent our numbers to us.
We met up again the next day and have been on many dates and have spoken every day, for hours It’s been 6 weeks + and going strong.
Just wanted to let you know of one of your success stories. The future looks bright.
We recommend your speed dating nights to every single person we speak to. It was so much fun. Thank you.”

β€œI just wanted to let you know…

That I won’t been attending your next event. I had already purchased the ticket earlier… I attended the last event and had a wonderful time… after I worked up the courage to actually walk in…
I was so nervous and almost didn’t go in but I am really glad I did I have made a connection with a great guy and am looking forward to pursuing that and seeing how we go.

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

Are you ready to rev up your love life in the heart of Melbourne? Buckle up for an exhilarating speed dating event at Diesel Bar & Eatery, where the city’s most eligible 33-47 year olds gather to find their perfect match. Welcome to the world of “Millennial Mingle,” where Gen X meets Gen Y in a whirlwind of romantic possibilities. Being single in Melbourne can feel like navigating a bustling laneway – full of hidden gems and unexpected turns. But fear not, because this popular watering hole at 202 Little Lonsdale St is about to become your oasis of opportunity. 

Hop on the 86 tram or take a short stroll from Melbourne Central Station, and you’ll find yourself in the epicenter of potential partnerships. For the ladies, why not treat yourself to a new outfit from Myer in the nearby Bourke Street Mall? Gents, David Jones has got you covered. And don’t worry if you’re from neighboring Richmond or South Yarra – we’ve got singles from all over the city ready to mingle. As an attendee, you’ll feel the electric buzz of anticipation as you step into a room full of like-minded individuals, all searching for that special someone.

How It Works

Get ready for a night that puts those dating apps to shame. Upon arrival, you’ll receive your name card and scan the QR code to access our state-of-the-art Matching App 4.0. This digital wingman lets you browse through attendee profiles before the main event kicks off. After some initial mingling at the bar, the ladies take their seats while the gentlemen rotate every five minutes, guided by our attentive hosts. No need for awkward post-date follow-ups – simply tap ‘Match’ or ‘Friend’ on your phone, and voila!Β 

You’ll wake up to your matches’ contact details at 8am the next day. With 12 five-minute mini-dates starting at 7pm sharp, you’ll have plenty of chances to find your perfect fit. Feeling tongue-tied? Our ice breaker games and conversation cards have got your back. With an even split of 20 guys and 20 gals, the odds are ever in your favor. Trust us, this beats swiping right on Tinder or crafting the perfect OkCupid message any day of the week.

Who You’ll Meet

So, who exactly will you meet at this Melbourne speed dating extravaganza? Picture a room full of ambitious professionals, creative entrepreneurs, and adventurous souls – all in that sweet spot between settling down and living it up. These are people who’ve mastered the art of brunching in Brunswick, know the best hidden bars in the CBD, and can navigate the MCG like pros. They’ve tried everything from Bumble to blind dates set up by well-meaning aunties, but nothing quite hits the spot like face-to-face chemistry.Β 

The challenge? Finding time for love amidst busy careers and social commitments. The solution? Speed Dating Social events, where efficiency meets romance. Pro tip: come with an open mind and a few quirky questions up your sleeve. And if sparks fly, why not suggest a second date at the nearby State Library Victoria? Nothing says “intellectual attraction” quite like admiring the La Trobe Reading Room together.

Your Host

Speaking of sparks, let’s talk about the masterminds behind this love revolution. Speed Dating Social, founded by the matchmaking maven Darcy Todd in 2020, has been playing cupid for Melbourne singles with gusto. With over 787 events under their belt and more than 37,423 introductions made, these folks know a thing or two about creating the perfect atmosphere for love to blossom.Β 

Always ensuring an equal ratio of men to women, you’re guaranteed a full dance card for the evening. Snag an early bird ticket for just $29.90, or if you’re fashionably late to the party, last-release tickets go for $34.90. Remember, love waits for no one – there are no refunds! Got questions? Shoot an email toΒ matches@speeddatingsocial.comΒ and prepare for your love life to shift into high gear.

The Venue

Now, let’s dish about our venue, the one and only Diesel Bar & Eatery. This industrial-chic hotspot at 202 Little Lonsdale St wasn’t always the bustling bar you see today. Originally a mechanics workshop in the 1950s, it was transformed into a trendy watering hole by local hospitality guru Sarah Thompson in 2015. The result? A uniquely Melbourne blend of gritty and glamorous that sets the perfect stage for our speed dating soirΓ©e.Β 

The exposed brick walls and vintage car parts adorning the space serve as great conversation starters – “If you were a car, what model would you be?” The central island bar ensures you’re never far from a liquid courage top-up, while the intimate booths scattered around the edges offer a cozy spot for post-event chats with potential matches. Don’t miss their signature cocktail, the “Diesel Fuel” – a smoky mezcal concoction that’s sure to ignite some fiery conversation. As you navigate from table to table, the ambient lighting and carefully curated playlist create an atmosphere that’s equal parts exciting and comfortable. And here’s a hot tip: arrive a bit early to snag a seat near the vintage jukebox – it’s a great way to break the ice by discussing your musical tastes!
