  I liked the venue and a friendly and laid back atmosphere was created. I was please the women were able to meet 15 guys. I felt bad that there was less choice of women. The event wasn’t private which I felt slightly compromised on as I live and work ( as a teacher ) in Exeter .

  It has been very enjoyable to meet so many lovely people. It was amazing that such a short spell of time was enough to feel an emotional connection or not. Enough to imagine if I want to spend say 2-3 hours with one or more of the female participants. Many thanks to Original Dating!

  The host, Jasmine, was brilliant. The venue was good too, especially the happy hour. I saw a couple of familiar faces too. I don't know if the speed dating thing suits me, so it is unlikely that I will do this again. A good experience nonetheless.

  Arta is a maze, someone to greet us and show us where to go would be good. Also name stickers.

  Everyone down to earth, perhaps needed a bit longer to chat.

  Was a comfortable easy atmosphere but felt like as soon as it was finished it was shut down rather than creating more of an atmosphere where people may have stayed a little longer to socialise but to be fair with the storm coming through was probably better everyone headed home asap!!

HOW IT WORKS

The beauty of Speed Dating Ipswich 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 Ipswich 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 Ipswich 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.
