  Great host, maybe a little too repetitive with how it works, just a simple to the point welcome and how the evening goes and then the matching process at the end would have been better personally but a great guy who made everyone feel at ease very quickly. The venue itself I don't think is the most ideal with how small and dark it was. Overall though these events are a great way to meet people and recommend them to anyone

  Fun event! It was nice speaking to everyone. Only wish the music was quieter, it was so loud that all the attendees had difficulty hearing each other and I had to speak really loudly and lost my voice a little.

  It was my first time attending a speed dating event so didn't know what to expect. I felt it was well organised, it felt safe and was easy enough to talk to people. The host was welcoming and had a good energy.

HOW IT WORKS

The beauty of Speed Dating Basingstoke 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 Basingstoke 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 girl.

Meet & Mingle

A Basingstoke 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. 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.
