About the event

***SUPER BUSY - 24 GIRLS BOOKED***

It’s important to find that someone who makes you laugh and who understands your sense of humour, no matter how dark or twisted it might be.

Introducing Dating Against Humanity. This is another first from Original Dating, combining the hilarious card game Cards Against Humanity with our unique take on speed dating.

A group of 30-40 people will take part with a 50:50 male/female ratio attending. Our format means you'll meet everyone of the opposite sex.

You’ll meet people in groups of 6-8 people, half girls and half guys. You’ll play a few rounds of this hilarious and slightly dark card game with each group, getting to know everyone as you play.

The rules are very simple and that’s what makes it such fun. At the start of each game a black card is drawn. Black cards are either questions or fill in the blank phrases. The white cards are the answers. Each player has a selection of white cards. The winner is the member of the group that forms the funniest, crudest or most ridiculous answer to the initial question. It’s a blast and a great icebreaker.

The next day you’ll login to our website where a list of everyone you met will appear. Simply tick YES to all the people you want to see again and our system will tell you who you mutually matched with. You’ll be able to message your matches and maybe arrange a rematch!

Book now – this event is super popular!

We'll take that. Thanks David!

Francesca Verified Attendee
  The location was very nice, the host too, and the whole night didn't feel like speed dating at all! It just felt like a bunch of friendly people having fun. Potentially meeting a date is just an extra bonus. Will defo go again :) Giving 4 starts only because of the price, wish it were a bit cheaper/there were maybe student discounts or something like that.

ORIGINAL DATING IN THE PRESS
Trustpilot

HOW IT WORKS

Arrive from about 7pm and grab a drink — our host will check you in and hand you a scorecard. Once everyone's settled, the host explains the format and the dating begins: four to five minutes per date, girls seated, guys rotating, with a 15-minute breather at half time to top up your glass and compare notes.

After each date you make a quick private note: yes, no, or friend. Nobody sees your choices on the night — that's the point. When the formal dates finish, the room opens up and everyone mingles; ask any of our hosts and they'll tell you this is where half the real chemistry happens, so don't dash for the Tube.

The next morning, enter your ticks on our site and our matching system compares them against everyone else's. Mutual yeses become matches, and you can message each other through the site — no phone numbers or emails shared until you choose to.


When you get there

Doors open around 30 minutes before the start time on your ticket — arriving early gives you time to grab a drink, find your feet and say hello to your host, who'll check you in and get you set up. Everything you need is provided on the night; just bring your ticket confirmation and your best conversation.

First time? You won't be the only one — most people at any London event are speed dating first-timers, and plenty arrive solo. Our hosts have run hundreds of these nights and their whole job is making sure nobody feels lost. By your second date you'll have forgotten your nerves entirely.

Meet & Mingle

Why Londoners book with Original Dating

Original Dating was founded in London in 2003 by Andrew — back when speed dating was brand new and he was, in his words, just a boy. Twenty-three years later we're the capital's longest-established speed dating company and one of the largest in the UK, running around 500 events a year nationwide.

What that experience buys you: professional hosts (many of them trained actors) who actually run the room rather than reading a script; venues we've vetted personally; gender-balanced events with sensible age bands; a matching system we built ourselves; and a rematch guarantee we've

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.
