  Definitely needs more women. Or maybe the venue should be more central like Soho perhaps to attract a bigger crowd. It is very well organised though thanks

  It was hosted in a lovely space, brought down a star as technology wasn’t on our host’s side. Enjoyed the event, it was great to meet a group of lovely people.

  This was the first speed dating experience I’ve had and in all honesty, the first time I’ve been so public about my sexuality. I had a fantastic time and would recommend this to anybody looking to meet people - romantic or otherwise. Thank you for a great evening 😊

  The girls on the event were lovely but the organisation was not the best. The host wasn't the most engaging.

  I’ve truly enjoyed the possibility of getting to know a group of girls without the ghosting/long chats of dating apps. Most of us kept the conversations going in a pub nearby, it gave us a sense of community

  These events are good idea for people looking to meet new people.We need more events like these but maybe chose a different gay friendly location . Also you need to provide badges or stickers with people name on. It’s hard to remember people name if we don’t have this.

HOW IT WORKS

The beauty of Speed Dating Edinburgh 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 Edinburgh 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

An Edinburgh 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.
