Success Stories 💑

Many have already found love ❤️

“When I went to my first speed dating event, I had zero expectations

– less than zero actually.
But yup, when I walked into that bar, I saw him and went all nervous.
I wouldn’t say our first conversation was scintillating. I don’t even remember what small talk we made – maybe our jobs.
At the end of the event, I saw him sitting alone and asked whether I could sit next to him. He said he wanted to see me again and I said the same.
We are now happily and exclusively together. If I have any advice to give anyone, it would be to give speed dating a try. I was lucky to have found my person the first time around. But I had been online dating for a year with no success.

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 attended one of your speed dating nights in Hardware Lane and met the most beautiful girl. We connected and you sent our numbers to us.
We met up again the next day and have been on many dates and have spoken every day, for hours It’s been 6 weeks + and going strong.
Just wanted to let you know of one of your success stories. The future looks bright.
We recommend your speed dating nights to every single person we speak to. It was so much fun. Thank you.”

“I just wanted to let you know…

That I won’t been attending your next event. I had already purchased the ticket earlier… I attended the last event and had a wonderful time… after I worked up the courage to actually walk in…
I was so nervous and almost didn’t go in but I am really glad I did I have made a connection with a great guy and am looking forward to pursuing that and seeing how we go.

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

Ah, Sydney! The Emerald City where finding love can be as tricky as navigating a packed Bondi Beach on a scorching summer day. But fear not, you savvy singles aged 29-47, because Speed Dating Social is here to rescue you from the depths of dating app despair with our latest event at The Argyle, 18 Argyle St, The Rocks NSW 2000.

Picture this: You’ve swiped left more times than you’ve had flat whites at your local café, and your thumb’s getting a repetitive strain injury from all that Tinder action. It’s time to ditch the digital and dive into the real world of face-to-face flirting! Our speed dating extravaganza is like Bumble come to life, minus the awkward “hey” messages and ghosting. 

Nestled in the heart of The Rocks, The Argyle is easier to get to than finding a park at Bondi Junction – just hop on the 324 bus or take a short stroll from Circular Quay station. And ladies, gentlemen, and everyone in between, don’t forget to dress to impress! Swing by The Intersection in Paddington for that perfect outfit that says “I’m here to meet my soulmate, or at least someone who doesn’t think the Opera House is just a fancy cinema.”

How It Works

Now, let’s talk about what you’re in for, you brave love-seekers! Upon arrival, you’ll be armed with a name tag (pro tip: don’t forget your own name in the excitement) and our nifty Matching App 4.0. It’s like Tinder, but without the fear of being catfished by your neighbor’s cat. You’ll have a chance to mingle at the bar, possibly spilling your drink in nervous anticipation, before the ladies take their seats and the gents start their romantic musical chairs. 

Every five minutes, you’ll be whisked away to a new potential paramour faster than you can say “flat white, no sugar.” With 12 mini-dates, you’ll have more romantic opportunities in one night than in a year of swiping right on every Bondi personal trainer’s profile. And the best part? You can discreetly ‘Match’ or ‘Friend’ your dates on the app, avoiding that awkward “So… can I have your number?” moment. It’s like The Bachelor, but without the roses or Chris Harrison’s dramatic pauses.

Who You’ll Meet

So, who’s going to be there? Well, imagine a room full of Sydney’s finest – and by finest, we mean those who’ve survived the dating apocalypse of their 30s and early 40s. These are the warriors who’ve battled through long work hours in the CBD, navigated the treacherous waters of Darling Harbour happy hours, and still managed to maintain a semblance of sanity. 

You’ll meet lawyers who can argue their way into your heart, tech gurus who promise not to update your love life without permission, and creative types who’ve been friend-zoned more times than they’ve been to Newtown. They’re looking for someone to share a romantic stroll through the Royal Botanic Gardens or perhaps a cheeky weekend getaway to the Hunter Valley. And hey, if you hit it off, why not suggest a second date at the nearby Museum of Contemporary Art? Nothing says romance like pretending to understand abstract art together.

Your Host

Now, a bit about us – Speed Dating Social, founded by the love guru himself, Darcy Todd, back in 2020. We’ve played Cupid for over 37,423 singles across 787 events, more matchmaking than your well-meaning but slightly overbearing aunt. We always ensure equal ratios of men and women, so you won’t be left hanging like a solo paddler on a Manly double kayak. 

Tickets are a steal at $29.90 for early birds or $34.90 for those who like to live dangerously and book last minute. No refunds, folks – consider it an investment in your love life that’s cheaper than a round of cocktails at Opera Bar. Got questions? Hit us up at matches@speeddatingsocial.com. We promise to reply faster than your last Bumble match.

The Venue

Last but not least, let’s chat about our venue, The Argyle. This ain’t your average pub, mates. Housed in a historic building from 1826, it was once a wool store, then a bond store, and now it’s storing liquid courage for nervous singles. Owned by the Merivale group (yes, the same folks behind your favorite overpriced cocktail bars), The Argyle boasts six distinct bars across two levels. 

The cobblestone courtyard will have you feeling like you’ve stepped into a European romance novel, while the cocktail bar upstairs is perfect for those “oops, I accidentally liked your Instagram post from 2015” confessions. Try their signature “Rocks Romance” cocktail – it’s got more kick than your ex’s goodbye text. The Argyle’s unique blend of historic charm and modern flair creates an atmosphere that’s more intoxicating than their top-shelf whiskey. It’s the perfect backdrop for your potential love story, or at the very least, a hilarious anecdote for your next brunch with the gang in Surry Hills.
