  Lisa -the host- is so kind, caring, helpful, organised and cheerful. She gives the best advice and takes good care of guests. She is just amazing. Original Dating is the best in the market but I would ask for one thing to add to it's perfection which is to provide pens and paper to guests to write down names of people they meet. You can imagine how difficult it is to memorise all names, if we have more than five gorgeous ladies in one event.

ORIGINAL DATING IN THE PRESS

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!
