Valentine's Day speed dating

The Valentine's period is the busiest time of the year for our speed dating events. Our Valentine's speed dating events and parties are always really busy and our large events attract upwards of 200 people. They offer unbeatable opportunities to meet amazing people.

Valentine's Day dating events

Our venues are hired exclusively and they are chosen on the basis that they are the kind of place that we would choose to go to on our nights off. We also look at factors such as the price of drinks and the friendliness of the staff when selecting the venues we use.

Valentine's Day parties

To make our Valentine's Day events a bit different we often have magicians performing at our events. Not only do they perform some seriously mind-bending trickery they also make a great talking point too. These guys also work as a great icebreaker to get chatting.

Valentine's Day speed dating

Our Valentines Parties also offer access to our unique online matching and messaging system. This means that everyone is allocated a number card on arrival so, should you meet someone you like and want to see again, you can contact them online. If you get a match you can message them via our site so you can communicate safely online before you decide to share your mobile number or email address.

The lock and key icebreaker really does work and you can expect to meet a large number of people on the night - massively increasing your chances of meeting someone you like, and want to see again!

We hope you can make it to our next St Valentine's event!

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.
