  The opportunity to meet many gay single men of my own age group in person outside of dating apps worked well.

  I am very happy about three things, namely: 1) This afternoon dating format allows for plenty of time afterwards to speak to the men of interest. I don't have to rush to take the last train home which is the case for evening dating events. 2) The men present were serious enough to attend on time and were all down-to-earth. There were no heavy drinkers. 3) A BIG THANK YOU to the organiser/representative for carrying the event for us even though some of the ladies turned us down by not attending. It was advantageous for us, the attending ladies, to have slightly longer mini dates and get a better idea of the man opposite. I will attend events organised by Original Dating again. :)

  Reasonably well organized event, very entertaining host, it's a shame some participants left, due to not enough counterparts.

  Was well-organised. Meeting in groups is perhaps not as good as one-on-one like traditional speed dating

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.
