Speed Dating in Perth, Australia

At our events, you’ll meet 12-15 singles through quick 5-minute conversations. Ladies stay seated while gentlemen rotate between tables. After each mini-date, you’ll discreetly indicate your interest using our Matching App. The next morning, you’ll receive your mutual matches’ contact details. Events typically run from 7-9 PM with a short intermission halfway through.

Everyone’s nervous their first time! Remember that everyone’s in the same boat. Prepare a few conversation starters but don’t memorize a script. Be yourself, listen actively, and focus on having fun rather than finding “the one.” A genuine smile goes a long way, and our friendly hosts are there to help you feel comfortable.

Aim for smart-casual attire that makes you feel confident. For ladies, a nice dress or stylish top with jeans works perfectly. Gents, opt for a clean button-down or polo with decent jeans or chinos. Nothing too formal (no suits needed) or too casual (leave the gym clothes at home). Wear something that represents your personality!

That’s completely okay! Not every event will lead to matches, and that’s normal. Think of it as practice for your social skills and a fun night out. Many attendees make friends even if they don’t find romantic connections. Plus, we host events regularly, so you can always try again with a different group.

Focus on open-ended questions that reveal personality and values. Ask about hobbies, favorite local spots, recent adventures, or dream vacations. Avoid heavy topics like politics, exes, or religious debates. Remember to keep it conversational rather than an interview, and share about yourself too when appropriate.

Prepare a few conversation starters about local events, travel experiences, or fun hypotheticals. If silence happens (it will!), don’t panic – briefly acknowledge it with humor and pivot to a new topic. Remember that asking follow-up questions about something they’ve mentioned shows genuine interest and keeps conversation flowing naturally.

That’s part of the dating process! Not every connection will be mutual, and that’s perfectly normal. Focus on the matches you do receive rather than those you don’t. The beauty of speed dating is efficiency – you quickly discover mutual interest without wasting time pursuing connections that aren’t reciprocated.

All our events are for adults 18+, but we organize them by age groups (20s-30s, over 40s, over 50s, etc.) so you’ll meet people at a similar life stage. Check the specific event details for age ranges. If you’re on the border between groups, you’re welcome to choose the one where you feel most comfortable.

The ball’s in your court! We provide contact details for mutual matches, and it’s up to you to reach out. We recommend contacting matches within a few days while the connection is fresh. Suggest a casual coffee or drink at a local spot to continue getting to know each other in a relaxed setting.

Life happens! While tickets are non-refundable, we can transfer your booking to another event of the same age range with advance notice (typically 7-30 days depending on the city). Just email us at matches@speeddatingsocial.com with your booking details, and we’ll help you reschedule for a better time.
