  Great host, got the tone just right handling us marauding masses 🤣 Nice people, very noisy but better that than being too quiet!

  Very well organised and the Host was lovely. This is the second time I have done this at this Venue so am now getting more use to how it all works. Met some lovely People last night and the room the event takes part in is very cosy with a nice ambiance. It was nice to be back.

  Need to give us paper to make notes on each person I think all the men should leave the table on the breaks. In case you don’t want to carry on talking to them.

  I think name tags would be something good idea. And also the room was pretty cold. The heating would have helped the anxiety 🤣

HOW IT WORKS

The beauty of Speed Dating St Albans 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 St Albans 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

A St Albans 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.
