Hampshire is one of the UK's largest counties with a population close to 2 million, it's even home to the former capital of England. This grand county of Hampshire has been home to the likes of Charles Dickens and Jane Austen which no doubt supplied inspiration for their epic stories. Original Dating want to write another epic story in the history books and bring some quality speed dating to Hampshire. The story goes a little something like this....

Original Dating, London's leading speed dating and singles events organiser had been running the best events in London but had forgotten there was a whole other world outside the city walls. They had created such innovative and successful dating events, but had forgotten about the beautiful people of Hampshire. So annoyed with their failings they decided to share the wealth, climb the towering walls and set forth for Hampshire. The people of Hampshire thought they had it all, with such great history and picturesque scenery, nobody realised there was one thing missing....quality speed dating. The successful and valiant Original Dating launched their well organised and very popular events and Hampshire lived happily ever after.

So the story goes...but how does speed dating work?

Speed dating is the fun and easy way to meet new people. It consists of 4 minute dates in quick succession, this means you can meet up to 20 people in one night. This flirtatious night allows plenty of time to mingle and get to know one another. With a 10 minute break half way through to top up those drinks, it really is a great night out.

HOW IT WORKS

The beauty of Speed Dating Hampshire 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 Hampshire 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 Hampshire 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.
