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
Ready to swipe right on real-life connections? Ditch the apps and dive into Melbourne’s most electrifying speed dating event for singles aged 30-55 at the trendy Diesel Bar & Eatery (202 Little Lonsdale St, Melbourne VIC 3000). In a city where finding love can feel as challenging as nabbing a seat on a packed tram during peak hour, we’re here to rev up your romance engine!
Speaking of transport, catch the 86 or 96 tram to the Parliament station, or take a short stroll from Melbourne Central. Not sure what to wear? Channel your inner Fitzroy hipster with a dash of South Yarra chic – swing by Emporium Melbourne for some last-minute outfit inspo. Whether you’re commuting from bustling Brunswick or cruising in from cosmopolitan Collingwood, you’ll find yourself in good company with other singles ready to mingle in the heart of the CBD.
How It Works
Get ready for a whirlwind evening of flirty fun as we guide you through 12 five-minute dates from 7-9pm. Upon arrival, you’ll receive a name card and access to our cutting-edge Matching App 4.0. Ladies, take your seats and prepare for a parade of potential partners as the gents rotate like the hands of the iconic Flinders Street Station clock. At 8pm, we’ll call a cheeky intermission – perfect for a loo break or to grab another drink (liquid courage, anyone?).
To keep the conversation flowing smoother than a flat white from your favorite laneway café, we’ll provide ice breakers and conversation cards. No need to stress about awkward “Can I have your number?” moments – if there’s mutual interest, you’ll receive contact details at 8am the next day, giving you time to sleep on your decisions (or stay up all night reliving those spark-filled moments). With 40 attendees (20 men, 20 women) and equal ratios, you’ll have more genuine connections than you can shake a smashed avo at – take that, dating apps!
Who You’ll Meet
Our event attracts a diverse crowd of Melbourne’s finest singles – from creative types who frequent the NGV to finance gurus crunching numbers in the Docklands. These 30- and 40-somethings are navigating the tricky waters of career ambitions, maybe juggling kids from previous relationships, and trying to find time for love amidst Melbourne’s notoriously fickle weather and even more unpredictable dating scene.
The struggle is real when it comes to meeting like-minded individuals who aren’t just looking for a quick coffee date at Degraves Street. But fear not! Our speed dating events are the perfect antidote to Melbourne’s sometimes cliquey social circles. Pro tip: come armed with your best dad jokes (or groaner puns about Melbourne’s four seasons in one day), and don’t be afraid to suggest a second date at the nearby State Library of Victoria – nothing says “I’m cultured and mysterious” like whispering sweet nothings in the La Trobe Reading Room.
Your Host
Speed Dating Social, founded by local love guru Darcy Todd in 2020, has been playing Cupid for Melbourne singles faster than you can say “hook, line, and sinker.” With a impressive track record of 787 events and 37,423 singles introduced (that’s more people than you’ll find at the Boxing Day sales, folks), we’re the experts in turning strangers into soulmates. Our equal ratio booking policy ensures a fair go for everyone – much like how we Melburnians insist on equal distribution of footy teams in the AFL.
Tickets are a steal at $29.90 for early birds and $34.90 for last-minute love-seekers (cheaper than a night out in Crown Casino, and with much better odds!). No refunds, but can you really put a price on potential lifelong happiness? For any burning questions, slide into our inbox at matches@speeddatingsocial.com.
The Venue
Diesel Bar & Eatery isn’t just another Melbourne watering hole – it’s a stylish urban oasis where industrial chic meets cozy comfort, much like the love child of a Fitzroy warehouse and a South Melbourne pub. This Little Lonsdale Street gem, with its exposed brick walls and mood lighting, creates the perfect atmosphere for igniting romance. The venue’s unique features, like the vintage car parts adorning the walls, serve as great conversation starters – “Hey, does that hubcap remind you of your first car too?” For liquid courage, we recommend their signature “Spark Plug Spritz” – it’ll have you firing on all cylinders in no time.
As you navigate from table to table, you’ll feel the energy of possibility in the air, mixed with the aromatic wafts from the open kitchen. And if things go well, why not suggest a second date at the nearby Melbourne Museum? Nothing says “I’m interested in your history” quite like a stroll through the dinosaur exhibit. So, rev up your love life and join us for a night that promises more excitement than a Carlton vs Collingwood Grand Final – who knows, you might just meet your perfect match and drive off into the sunset together (or at least share an Uber home).
