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 scrolling and actually meet someone real? Welcome to Melbourne’s most talked-about speed dating experience, where genuine connections happen faster than you can say “swipe right.” If you’re between 34-47 and tired of the digital dating dance, join us at the iconic Diesel Bar & Eatery in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD. Getting here is a breeze – hop off at Melbourne Central Station, catch the 30 tram down La Trobe Street, or take a short stroll from Parliament Station. Whether you’re rocking up from trendy Brunswick (where every second person is a barista-slash-artist) or making the trek from South Yarra (home of the Sunday brunch warriors), you’ll fit right in. For outfit inspiration, swing by Emporium Melbourne or David Jones on Bourke Street – think smart casual that says “I made an effort” without screaming “I tried too hard.”
How It Works
Leave the awkward app small talk behind and dive into our expertly crafted speed dating experience. Armed with your name tag and our cutting-edge Matching App 4.0, you’ll embark on twelve exciting five-minute dates between 7-9pm. Ladies, you’ll be comfortably seated while gents make their way around the room (trust us, it works better than musical chairs). We’ve got conversation cards to break the ice, and there’s a handy intermission at 8pm to catch your breath and grab a drink. The best part? No more ghosting or endless messaging – at 8am the next morning, you’ll receive the contact details of everyone who picked you as a match. With 20 men and 20 women carefully selected to ensure equal ratios, your chances of finding a spark are better than scoring a table at Chin Chin on a Saturday night.
Who You’ll Meet
Our crowd? Think successful professionals who’ve outgrown the Tinder treadmill. These are people building careers in Melbourne’s bustling corporate scene, creative industries, and tech startups. They’re at that sweet spot in life where they’ve got their act together but haven’t lost their sense of adventure. Between juggling demanding careers and dodging questions about their relationship status at family gatherings, they’re looking for someone who gets it. Our top tip? Skip the weather chat and bond over shared experiences – maybe you’ve both attempted the famous Manchester Press coffee challenge or have strong opinions about which laneway has the best street art. Speaking of which, why not suggest a second date exploring the NGV’s latest exhibition? Nothing breaks the ice quite like critiquing contemporary art together.
Your Host
Since our founding by Darcy Todd in 2020, Speed Dating Social has brought together over 37,423 singles across 787 events. We’re serious about maintaining equal ratios, which is why we carefully manage our bookings (and why our events often sell out faster than tickets to the Melbourne Comedy Festival). Secure your spot with our early bird ticket at $29.90, or grab a last-release ticket for $34.90. Questions? Drop us a line at matches@speeddatingsocial.com – we’re here to help you find your person in the world’s most liveable city.
The Venue
Diesel Bar & Eatery, nestled at 202 Little Lonsdale Street, is more than just another Melbourne venue – it’s where dating magic happens. This beautifully restored 1920s building, with its exposed brick walls and ambient lighting, creates the perfect backdrop for meaningful conversations. The venue’s intimate booth seating and carefully curated playlist strike that perfect balance between cozy and sophisticated. Their signature espresso martini (dubbed the “Conversation Starter”) comes highly recommended – though maybe save that for after your speed dates! The central location makes it perfect for extending the evening, whether it’s a twilight stroll through the nearby Flagstaff Gardens or making plans for a future date at the Queen Victoria Market’s famous night market. After all, nothing says “Melbourne romance” quite like sharing dumplings under the stars.
