  Well organized event. Unfortunate that the numbers were unbalanced and that there was a low turnout, but think the adjustment made to increase date durations was good. Two thoughts for improvements: If there's an imbalance, encourage those without a date in a round to connect with each other, and encourage people to go out together afterwards. A few of us went next door for the open mic night after and it was good fun.

  Lovely to meet single people in person and have a social evening getting to know different people. The venue was hot and noisy but it was ok as we could drift out into the bar to talk.

  Everybody was so nice and friendly. It was a bit strange that there were so many more ladies than gentlemen (9 women, 4 men) but I guess is not always possible to even the numbers. All in all, it was a fun experience.

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.
