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 find meaningful connections in Melbourne’s vibrant CBD? Join us for an evening of sophisticated speed dating at Diesel Bar & Eatery, where we’re bringing together accomplished singles aged 32-55 who know there’s more to life than mindless swiping. Being single in Melbourne at this stage can feel like trying to pick a coffee spot on Degraves Street – too many choices, not enough time – but we’re here to change that! Located in the heart of the city at 202 Little Lonsdale Street, we’re perfectly positioned for convenience with Melbourne Central station just minutes away and multiple tram routes including the 30 and 35 at your doorstep. Dress to impress while staying comfortable – think smart casual that would work for both a business lunch and after-work drinks. Pop into David Jones or browse the boutiques at Melbourne Central for that perfect ensemble that says “successful professional with a fun side.” Whether you’re coming from the established streets of Carlton or the bustling hub of South Melbourne, you’ll find yourself among like-minded professionals ready for genuine connections.
How It Works
Your evening unfolds with our streamlined check-in process, where you’ll receive your name card and access to our sophisticated Matching App 4.0 (because paper is so pre-Covid). Ladies make themselves comfortable at their designated spots while gentlemen rotate every five minutes – just enough time to discover if there’s a spark without getting trapped in a detailed analysis of Melbourne’s property market. From 7-9pm, you’ll enjoy 12 five-minute dates, with our carefully curated ice breakers ensuring conversation flows as smoothly as a Market Lane coffee. At 8pm, we break for drinks and mingling, perfect for revisiting those promising connections. Our conversation cards spark discussions about life experiences and future dreams – way more engaging than trying to decipher whether someone’s dating profile is current or from 2019. With exactly 20 men and 20 women attending, we ensure a balanced, respectful environment where quality connections can flourish.
Who You’ll Meet
Our events attract Melbourne’s most interesting professionals – the kind who’ve outgrown the Chapel Street scene but aren’t ready to settle for coffee dates in their local suburb. You’ll meet creative directors making waves in the advertising world, entrepreneurs who’ve successfully navigated the startup scene, and professionals who understand the balance between career success and personal fulfillment. Many are at that sweet spot in life where they know exactly what they want – someone who appreciates both fine dining and hidden laneway bars, who’s established in their career but still up for spontaneous adventures. Dating in Melbourne at this age can feel like navigating hook turns – tricky but manageable with the right approach. Success at our events often comes down to authenticity – share your genuine thoughts on whether Hardware Société lives up to the hype, or debate the best wine bars in the city. For a memorable second date, we suggest catching a show at the Comedy Theatre or sharing stories over dinner at Longrain – both guaranteed to keep the conversation flowing.
Your Host
Speed Dating Social, founded by Darcy Todd in 2020, has successfully hosted over 787 events, introducing more than 37,423 singles. We pride ourselves on maintaining equal ratios of men and women at every event, ensuring a balanced and enjoyable experience for all.

The Venue
Diesel Bar & Eatery isn’t just another Melbourne venue; it’s a CBD gem that perfectly balances sophisticated charm with relaxed urban vibes. The venue’s contemporary design, with its exposed brick walls and ambient lighting, creates an atmosphere that’s both impressive and welcoming. Their mixologists craft some of Melbourne’s most innovative cocktails – we recommend starting your evening with their signature “Melbourne Nights” to calm those first-date butterflies. The thoughtful layout creates intimate conversation spaces while maintaining an energetic atmosphere that’s perfect for our speed dating format. Before or after the event, take a stroll through the nearby laneways – explore the street art in Drewery Lane or discover hidden bars like Goldilocks. These quintessentially Melbourne experiences make for perfect ice breakers and even better second date suggestions.
