INTRODUCING MIDWEEK SOCIALS

Socialising is fun and that's what these events are all about

At this event, there's no name badges, no whistles and no cringe factor. 

There is a crowd of around 70-90 single people, an equal boy/girl mix attending and we always hire a superb private venue. We've organised these at Soho House and Adam Street Club in the past.

This very simple, proven formula makes for a very exciting and successful night. Our venues are set up for socialising with the soundtrack at a level to match. These events are designed for successful graduate professionals that want to expand their social circle and meet people to date but wouldn't consider attending a dating event or using online dating. Read on to find out why you should be our next event.

Expect 70-90 people to be at these events, so plenty of people to meet and more than enough to ensure there are a few people you'll click with. There's never any cringe icebreakers, no speed dating and no name badges, in fact, no reason whatsoever not to come, unless you're not single that is.

Midweek Socials are about just that, socialising. And having a drink or two and meeting people in a very cool bar or club. There's also naturally an equal male/female split.

How much you do is up to you - we simply provide the setting and the crowd.

You'll enjoy a few drinks and banter safe in the knowledge that everyone's there is open to meeting people. This simple formula guarantees a great night! 

ORIGINAL DATING IN THE PRESS

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.
