Success Stories πŸ’‘

Many have already found love ❀️

β€œWhen 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.”

β€œI 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

Are you tired of swiping left and right on dating apps, only to end up with a sore thumb and zero matches? Well, put down your phone and get ready for a night of face-to-face flirting at our 30-55yrs speed dating event at The Crows Nest Hotel! Nestled in the heart of Sydney’s Lower North Shore, this popular watering hole is about to become your personal love HQ.

Picture this: you’re single in Sydney, surrounded by stunning beaches and world-class restaurants, but your love life is drier than a Tim Tam in the Outback. Fear not, because Speed Dating Social is here to turn your romantic fortunes around faster than you can say “G’day, mate!” Our events are held at The Crows Nest Hotel, 1 Willoughby Rd, Crows Nest NSW 2065 – just a hop, skip, and a jump from the Crows Nest bus stop on the 343 route. And hey, why not dress to impress? Swing by Westfield Chatswood for a new outfit that’ll make you stand out like a kangaroo in Kings Cross.

How It Works

Now, let’s talk about what you’re in for. Forget the endless scrolling and awkward messaging of Tinder or Bumble – we’re bringing dating back to the real world, mate! Upon arrival, you’ll get a name tag and scan a QR code for our Matching App 4.0. This little beauty lets you see all the other singles before the night kicks off. Then, it’s time to mingle at the bar before the ladies take their seats and the blokes rotate every five minutes. It’s like musical chairs, but instead of losing your seat, you might just find your soulmate! You’ll have 12 five-minute mini-dates, giving you plenty of time to decide who to ‘Match’ or ‘Friend’ on your phone. The best part? You’ll get your matches’ contact details at 8am the next day – perfect for planning that second date over a flat white.

Who You’ll Meet

So, who’s going to be there? Well, imagine a room full of 30-55 year olds who are more over dating apps than they are over smashed avo on toast. These are professionals who’ve been around the block a few times (and we’re not just talking about Circular Quay). They’ve tried everything from OkCupid to eHarmony, but they’re ready for something real. They’re the kind of people you might bump into at Opera Bar or grabbing a coffee in Surry Hills.Β 

They’re busy juggling careers, maybe kids, and trying to find time for themselves – let alone someone else. But here’s the thing: they’re ready to take a chance on love, even if it means facing their fear of rejection head-on. And hey, if you’re feeling nervous, just remember – everyone else is in the same boat. Or should we say, the same ferry?

Your Host

Now, let’s talk credentials. Speed Dating Social was founded by Darcy Todd in 2020, and since then, we’ve played cupid at over 787 events, introducing more than 37,423 singles. We always ensure an equal ratio of men and women, so you’re guaranteed someone to chat with. Tickets are a steal at $29.90 for early birds and $34.90 for last-minute lovebirds. No refunds, because we believe in commitment (and we know you won’t want to miss out once you’ve signed up). Got questions? Flick us an email at matches@speeddatingsocial.com.

The Venue

Last but not least, let’s chat about our venue.Β The Crows Nest HotelΒ isn’t just any old pub – it’s a North Shore institution. Built in the 1930s as a working man’s pub, it’s now the go-to spot for locals looking for a good time. The current owners have given it a modern facelift while keeping its classic charm, creating the perfect backdrop for your romantic rendezvous. The cozy booths are ideal for intimate chats, while the spacious bar area allows for easy mingling during breaks. And let’s not forget their signature cocktail, the “Crowstini” – a delicious icebreaker if we ever saw one. Trust us, speed dating at The Crow’s Nest is like finding a $50 note in your old jeans – unexpectedly awesome.

So, what are you waiting for? Ditch the dating apps, put on your best threads, and come meet your potential match face-to-face. Who knows? You might just find yourself planning a second date at Taronga Zoo or taking a romantic stroll across the Harbour Bridge. After all, in the words of a wise Aussie, “You’ve got to be in it to win it!” See you there, lovebirds!
