  Nice to meet a range of people. Chris was lovely, put me at ease (it was my first event) and kept the evening going despite some bumps along the way which weren’t of his making.

  Great hosting. Diplomatic, insightful, honest! I would say the night was very nicely balanced and the atmosphere was friendly and safe. Very clear about procedures as one would expect.

  Was set up well, kept to time - there were more women than men however the host made it work by changing who sat and who moved around. Conversations were 5 minutes each and good questions asked, venue was lovely and could hear each other too!

ORIGINAL DATING IN THE PRESS

HOW IT WORKS

The beauty of Speed Dating Swindon, Wiltshire lies in its no-nonsense approach. You take an equal number of single girls and guys, put them in a room (real or virtual) and give them a few minutes to chat with every other member of the opposite sex to get to know one another or gather first impressions. 

When you get there

Original speed dating events in Swindon normally kick off 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

Swindon speed dating events are 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.
