The Science Behind the Sparks 

Chemistry in the context of dating refers to that intangible connection between two people. It’s the magnetic pull, the immediate attraction, and the sense of ease and familiarity that can occur when meeting someone new. This phenomenon isn’t just a poetic concept – it’s deeply rooted in science. 

When you meet someone you’re attracted to, your brain releases a cocktail of chemicals, including dopamine, oxytocin, and serotonin. These chemicals are responsible for the feelings of pleasure, attachment, and happiness. Essentially, chemistry is your brain’s way of signaling that you’ve found someone special. 

Why Chemistry Matters in Speed Dating 

Speed dating is all about first impressions and quick connections. In just a few minutes, you need to determine if there’s a potential for something more. This is where chemistry plays a pivotal role. Here’s why:

Instant Attraction: Chemistry helps you quickly identify who you’re drawn to. In a speed dating scenario, this instant attraction can save time and help you focus on potential matches. 

Natural Conversation Flow: When chemistry is present, conversations flow more naturally. You feel comfortable, engaged, and interested, making those few minutes feel much longer and more meaningful. 

Memorable Interactions: Strong chemistry ensures that you and your date stand out to each other, even in a room full of people. This makes it more likely that you’ll remember each other and want to reconnect. 

Building Chemistry in Minutes 

While chemistry often happens naturally, there are ways to enhance it during a speed dating event: 

  • Be Yourself: Authenticity is attractive. Be genuine and let your true personality shine through. 
  • Stay Open-Minded: Approach each date with an open mind and a positive attitude. You never know who you might click with. 
  • Engage Fully: Show genuine interest in your date. Listen actively, ask thoughtful questions, and be present in the moment.

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.
