How does speed dating work?

To attend speed dating in Bury St Edmunds you will need to open a profile on our website and then just pick a date and accept your invitation.

Original Dating put meticulous thought into the choice of venue and the set up on the night. You will be part of a group split equally between men and women. The evening is divided into two halves

with a rest break in the middle and you will meet each person for four minutes, a chance to exchange a few words and see if there is that mutual spark of attraction. Four minutes isn’t a lot of time so you will learn to perfect your approach in terms of what you say and more importantly, what you ask.

What happens next?

Through your online profile on the website, you will feed back your responses to the people you have met. It’s great when a ‘yes’ category is met with the same response. Lack of interest is recorded as a simple, ‘no’ and we have a ‘maybe’ category which is a great way to stay in touch with people you really liked as friends and who it would be nice to stay in contact with. And, maybe, you just never know!

The great thing about Original Dating is that you can meet people in person without being tied into spending a whole evening with someone who you know within five minutes is just not for you.
