Home Alternative Dating

Welcome to Original Dating the home of alternative dating events. Why do you think we're called ORIGINAL, because we're at the forefront of alternative dating events in London, launching world first after first. 

Our alternative dating events are designed to give you an innovative way to meet new people in London - just a little different to our standard speed dating format. We create positive atmosphere with the intention to enhance your dating experience. 

The term 'dating events' can be limiting. If it wasn't so wordy, I would prefer to use 'social events for single people' because that’s exactly what they are. Our fantastic range of alternative dating events ensure you'll meet a lot of single people in one night but more importantly have an incredible night out in the process. 

Our alternative dating events include Dating Against Humanity, Dating Bingo, Ping Pong Dating and Quiz Dating with more arriving this year. Unlike other company's offerings, our events work and are hugely popular!

ORIGINAL DATING IN THE PRESS
Trustpilot

HOW IT WORKS

The beauty of Speed Dating London lies in its no-nonsense approach. You take an equal number of single girls and guys, put them in a room and give them a few minutes to chat with every other member of the opposite sex.

When you get there

Original speed dating events in London normally begin at 7.30pm. You will need to register with our hosts and to begin with they will issue you with a score sheet. This will help you to keep track of the singles that you would like to meet again and perhaps go on a date with. After a short period of mingling, your host for the evening who will run through detailed instructions and give you your starting position if you are a guy or table for the event if you are a girl.

Meet & Mingle

A London speed dating event is split into two halves, each lasting around an hour, there will be an interval at half time of about 15 minutes for speed dating London. You will have between 4 and 5 minutes with each person, after which you need to tick a box on your score sheet - "yes, I would like to meet this person again" or "no. Thanks but no thanks". Or "friend" if you'd like to get to know them platonically. Make sure that you do this after each date to keep track. Afterwards there is an opportunity for everyone to meet and mingle informally - this is often where the real action begins, so make sure you don't disappear too quickly!

Complete your score sheet

After the event you simply tick who you liked on the Original Dating website and the site works about your matches automatically. If the dates you have ticked as a "yes" have reciprocated you have a match. You will be able to view the first names and message them via our site online without revealing your email address until you are ready to. You'll be having proper first dates in no time.

 

And that's it. Simple? Yes. Fun? Most definitely. Great way to meet your perfect match? Without a doubt so book an event now and find out why the dating craze that started a decade ago is still going strong.
