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 ditch the endless swiping and meet genuine singles face-to-face? Welcome to Melbourne’s most talked-about speed dating event for ages 33-47, where real connections happen at the iconic Diesel Bar & Eatery in the heart of the CBD. If you’re tired of matching with ghosts on dating apps or spending your weekends at crowded Brunswick bars hoping to catch someone’s eye, this could be your perfect Friday night out. Located at 202 Little Lonsdale Street, you’re just steps from Melbourne Central Station or a quick hop off the 86 or 96 tram.
Coming from trendy Fitzroy or sophisticated South Yarra? You’re in for a treat – our diverse crowd brings together Melbourne’s best singles from all corners of the city. Not sure what to wear? Keep it smart casual – gentlemen can’t go wrong with a blazer from Jack London on Chapel Street, while ladies might find the perfect outfit at Scanlan Theodore in The Emporium.
How It Works
Here’s how the magic unfolds: from 7-9pm, you’ll enjoy 12 curated five-minute dates, perfectly timed to spark chemistry without the awkward small talk that plagues dating apps. Ladies get comfortable at their designated tables while gents rotate, armed with our signature conversation cards to keep the chat flowing naturally. Our cutting-edge Matching App 4.0 makes the whole process seamless – no more scribbling phone numbers on napkins!
Take a breather during our 8pm intermission to mingle freely, and wake up the next morning to find your matches in your inbox (only when there’s mutual interest, of course). With exactly 20 men and 20 women attending, we ensure everyone gets equal opportunities to connect. It’s like having a month’s worth of coffee dates in one evening, minus the caffeine jitters!
Who You’ll Meet
Our 33-47 age group brings together an interesting mix of established professionals who know what they want – think architects from South Melbourne grabbing a drink after work, teachers from Carlton sharing stories about their latest overseas adventures, and tech entrepreneurs from Richmond who’ve finally decided to prioritize their love life over their startups. Many are navigating the challenges of dating in Melbourne’s fast-paced environment, where meaningful connections can be as rare as a parking spot on Chapel Street.
But that’s where we come in – our events have sparked countless relationships, and there’s nothing quite like bonding over shared experiences of Melbourne life. Pro tip: mention the NGV’s latest exhibition or your favorite hidden laneway café – it’s perfect fodder for both speed dating conversation and a potential second date at the State Library’s rooftop.
Your Host
Since our founding by Darcy Todd in 2020, Speed Dating Social has revolutionized Melbourne’s dating scene, hosting 787 successful events and introducing 37,423 singles (and counting!).

While we can’t offer refunds, we can promise an unforgettable evening – and if you need any assistance, our team is just an email away at matches@speeddatingsocial.com.
The Venue
Diesel Bar & Eatery isn’t just another Melbourne venue – it’s a carefully chosen location that perfectly balances sophistication with approachability. The exposed brick walls and mood lighting create an atmosphere that’s both intimate and relaxed, while the central location makes it accessible for everyone. Start your evening with their signature espresso martini (a nod to Melbourne’s coffee obsession) or try the “Love at First Sight” cocktail they’ve crafted specially for our events.
The venue’s thoughtful layout ensures private conversations while maintaining the energetic buzz that makes speed dating exciting. Plus, you’re just a stone’s throw from the iconic State Library – perfect for a cultured second date if you hit it off with someone who shares your love for Melbourne’s rich history and architectural beauty.
