How does speed dating work? 

Speed dating makes dating fun and easy. Our events are all about meeting people offline and up to as many as 20 dates in one night. Each date last around 4 minutes giving you enough time to see if it's someone you want to see again and not that long to just have a chat, if not. There's plenty of time at the half way break to have a drink and a flirt as well making it a great night out. 

And if there's someone I like? 

Well that's we're it gets really cool. Our bespoke matching system means you meet people first and match after. Having met everyone on the night, the following day select who you'd like to see again and by the end of the day you find out who you mutually matched with and be organising your own dates before you know it. A mutual match after meeting someone in person means a lot more than a swipe on a phone. 

We're super excited about bringing our quality speed dating events to Bedford and if you wanna be the first to know then sign up now. We'll keep you well informed of our upcoming events!

HOW IT WORKS

The beauty of Speed Dating Bedford 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 Bedford 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 Bedford 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.
