Success Stories π

Many have already found loveΒ β€οΈ

βWhen 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 β and thatβs not even counting the sleazeballs.
β a happy attendeeβ

“I would like to let you know that last month,

βI just wanted to let you know…
So thank you for all the effort in putting these events togetherβ¦ donβt 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 swap those endless right swipes for real-life sparks? Welcome to Speed Dating Social’s signature event for singles aged 34-47, where Melbourne’s most eligible professionals are trading their dating apps for face-to-face connections at the iconic Diesel Bar & Eatery in the heart of the CBD. Being single in Melbourne can feel like searching for a flat white in Sydney β challenging but ultimately rewarding when you find the right match. Located at 202 Little Lonsdale Street, Diesel Bar is easily accessible via the 86 or 96 tram (hop off at Melbourne Central), or just a five-minute stroll from Parliament Station. Not sure what to wear? Keep it smart casual β gentlemen, swing by Jack London on Bourke Street for a crisp shirt, while ladies can find the perfect ensemble at Review in Melbourne Central. Whether you’re commuting from the creative hub of Brunswick or the leafy streets of South Yarra, you’ll find yourself among like-minded singles who understand the unique rhythm of Melbourne’s dating scene.
How It Works
Leave your dating app fatigue at the door because this is where real chemistry happens. Our tried-and-tested format kicks off at 5 PM sharp, where you’ll be equipped with name tags and access to our cutting-edge Matching App 4.0. Ladies, you’ll be comfortably seated while gents rotate every five minutes, giving you 12 unique chances to find that special someone. Instead of agonizing over the perfect opening message, you’ll have our signature conversation cards to break the ice naturally. We’ve structured the evening to include a strategic intermission at 8 PM β perfect for grabbing a drink and catching your breath. The best part? No more awkward “should I text first” moments β matches are revealed at 8 AM the next morning, sharing contact details only when there’s mutual interest. With a perfectly balanced ratio of 20 men and 20 women, your odds of finding a connection are significantly better than hoping your coffee barista finally notices you.
Who You’ll Meet
Our 35-49 age group brings together Melbourne’s most interesting singles β think creative professionals who’ve mastered their craft, entrepreneurs who can recommend the best coffee on Degraves Street, and corporate achievers who understand that life’s too short for bad dating experiences. Many attendees are balancing successful careers with the search for genuine connection, often navigating the challenges of Melbourne’s notorious work culture and the post-pandemic dating landscape. The key to success? Come prepared with stories about your favorite hidden laneway discoveries or controversial opinions about the best dumplings in Chinatown. Speaking from experience, those who share authentic insights about their Brunswick brunch spots or South Yarra cycling adventures tend to make the strongest connections. For a memorable second date, why not suggest a twilight visit to the NGV or a cocktail at Eau de Vie?

The Venue
Diesel Bar & Eatery isn’t just another Melbourne venue β it’s a carefully restored 1920s building that perfectly balances industrial chic with intimate comfort. The exposed brick walls and mood lighting create an atmosphere that’s sophisticated yet relaxed, perfect for meaningful conversations. The venue’s unique split-level design creates natural conversation nooks, while their signature espresso martinis (our recommended ice-breaker) have been known to spark more than a few love stories. The central location means you’re just steps away from the Paris end of Collins Street, offering the perfect excuse to suggest a follow-up date exploring the Block Arcade’s heritage architecture or sharing a macaron at Brunetti’s. Speed dating here feels less like a formal event and more like a gathering of friends at their favorite local spot, where the stories of Melbourne’s most interesting singles intertwine with the city’s rich cultural tapestry.
