  The project lead was warm and welcoming and made us feel at ease / shame that a number of guys didn’t turn up - maybe a deposit scheme? Though the smaller groups were good- for a longer date. Some question prompts provided for more difficult dates would be good.

  Everyone was prepared to stay and socialise after the event, which created a pleasant atmosphere and gave me the opportunity to get to know each person more after the speed dates finished.

  The opportunity to meet many gay single men of my own age group in person outside of dating apps worked well.

  Kinda decent amount of people. Would have been better if we had a small paper to scribble on their names or notes. ☺️

  It was well organised and the host was professional and nice but I think the age range needs to be more focused. Maybe 28-42

HOW IT WORKS

The beauty of Speed Dating Cambridge 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 Cambridge 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 Cambridge 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.
