Ah Portsmouth, the historical port has undergone a renaissance of sorts recently. Hampshire's port city has blossomed into a place of beauty and wonder, with all of the finer things in life on hand, well nearly....there's just one thing missing - Speed Dating. That's right, here at Original Dating we believe Portsmouth deserves top quality speed dating, so we've decide to venture south. Original Dating is coming to Portsmouth this year.

Who is Original Dating?

We are London's lead speed dating and singles events organiser. We've been running the best attended and well organised speed dating nights in London for over 15 years, so you're in safe hands. We not only run fantastic speed dating nights but are constantly coming up with new and original ideas, changing the dating landscape for the better.

How does speed dating work?

Speed dating is an easy way to meet a lot of people at once. It consists of short 4 minute dates, allowing enough time to have a flirt and decide whether it's someone you'd like to see again and not that long for a chat if not. There's plenty of time to have mingle before, during and after - with a break half way to top up those drinks.

How do I match with someone?

Our bespoke matching system allows you to enter your matches the following day and by 5pm you'll find out who you matched with and be going on another date in no time. It's really that easy!

If you want to be the first to hear about Original Dating in Portsmouth then sign up now and receive 50% off your first booking!

ORIGINAL DATING IN THE PRESS

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.

 

And that's it. Simple? Yes. Fun? Most definitely. Great way to meet your perfect match? Without a doubt so book an event now and find out why the dating craze that started a decade ago is still going strong.
