SPEED DATING IS COMING TO YORK

Register your interest and we'll make sure you're one of the first to hear about our next event in York

Ah the beautiful walled city of York, sliced through the middle by the river Ouse. Your picturesque city is the subject of envy to us Londoners.

Which is why Original Dating is upping sticks and making our way to Yorkshire, that and of course because we feel the singles of Yorkshire deserve top quality speed dating events. This year Original Dating is bringing its bag of speed dating goodies to York! 

Let me introduce ourselves, we're London's favourite speed dating company. We know exactly what it takes to run fun, well attended speed dating events, making us London's first choice when it comes to meeting new people. We've been doing this since 2003, so you're in safe hands. We've run thousands of events, we can even lay claim to the first marriage from speed dating in the UK back in 2004 and many more since.  

At our fun events you'll meet up to 20 dates in one night at the best bars in town and the best bit about speed dating is it's simple. Each date lasts no longer than 4 minutes, which is the perfect amount of time to see if it's someone you want to see again and not that long to just have a chat. We have a 10 minute interval so you can have a mingle and top up those glasses. These flirty nights might even lead to a little night out, who knows. 

If there's someone you like and want to see again then our bespoke matching system makes it easy to stay in touch. Simply log in to the website the following day to select your matches and by 5pm you'll have found out who you've mutually matched with and be arranging that next date before you know it. It really is that easy!

Speed Dating York, Yorkshire

The beauty of Speed Dating York 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 York 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 York 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!
