Success Stories 💑

Many have already found love

“I would like to let you know that last month,

I attended one of your speed dating nights in Hardware Lane and met the most beautiful girl. We connected and you sent our numbers to us.
We met up again the next day and have been on many dates and have spoken every day, for hours It’s been 6 weeks + and going strong.
Just wanted to let you know of one of your success stories. The future looks bright.
We recommend your speed dating nights to every single person we speak to. It was so much fun. Thank you.”

“I just wanted to let you know…

That I won’t been attending your next event. I had already purchased the ticket earlier… I attended the last event and had a wonderful time… after I worked up the courage to actually walk in…
I was so nervous and almost didn’t go in but I am really glad I did I have made a connection with a great guy and am looking forward to pursuing that and seeing how we go.

So thank you for all the effort in putting these events together… don’t worry about giving me a refund on the ticket, maybe you can give that to someone that rocks up on the night without a ticket as I know how hard They are to get. thanks so much again.”

“When I went to my first speed dating event, I had zero expectations

– less than zero actually.
But yup, when I walked into that bar, I saw him and went all nervous.
I wouldn’t say our first conversation was scintillating. I don’t even remember what small talk we made – maybe our jobs.
At the end of the event, I saw him sitting alone and asked whether I could sit next to him. He said he wanted to see me again and I said the same.
We are now happily and exclusively together. If I have any advice to give anyone, it would be to give speed dating a try. I was lucky to have found my person the first time around. But I had been online dating for a year with no success.

You may not find someone the first time or the 10th time, but at least these guys take the trouble to show up and put their best foot forward. They are making the effort which is more than I can say for some people on online dating sites – and that’s not even counting the sleazeballs.
– a happy attendee”

Whether you’re looking for a serious relationship or just a fun night out, Speed Dating Social offers a fresh, no-pressure way to meet exciting individuals.

Ready to Find Your Match in Queensland? Spaces are limited, and our events are highly popular. Reserve your spot now to avoid missing out on the opportunity to transform your social and romantic life. Step into a world where love is just around the corner, and every conversation could lead to something wonderful.

Explore Brisbane’s best venues. Speed dating isn’t only for getting dates, it’s also about exploring new venues. If you’re attending your first night a few of our Brisbane favourites include, Fridays Riverside venue and Cindy Chows in the CBD. While those in the suburbs can opt for The Newstead Social, or the Mix bar in Woolloongabba. And of course you Southsider’s on the wrong side of the Brisbane river can try The The Fourth Monkey Cocktail Bar & Grill for a great night out.

Choose a location near you! If you live in Newstead there’s little point in meeting your soul mate if they’re on the Gold Coast. But surprisingly I’ve noticed location doesn’t play that much of factor so long as it’s central. Basically any Brisbane CBD bar is good. Just remember to screen your dates by asking where they’re from and give the ones who live closer more attention.

Hang around at the end. After 2 hours of chatting many can feel exhausted, but this is when the real winning is done. Instead of running away, stick around and reignite a few of those hotter chats. Your speed dates only lasted for a few minutes so it’s important to continue the interactions so they can remember you. So chat, grab another drink together or even suggest bouncing to another near by location for a quick instant date can solidify your connections.

Contact your matches. When you and your date tick yes, that’s a match! You can get unlimited matches with the catch, they also have to tick yes to you. At 8am the following morning after speed dating, your matches mobile numbers will be emailed to you. Always follow up with a light hearted text to reignite the conversation. Keep it casual and then once you’ve got a conversation going, steer it towards your first date. I’d suggest using an alternate choice close between 2 casual choices “Would you like to grab a drink one night or are you more of a coffee type of person.”

Social Speed Dating Events

Our speed dating events in Brisbane typically occur in trendy bars and clubs, around the CBD, Fortitude Valley and South Bank. These venues provide the ideal backdrop, combining a sense of elegance with a relaxed vibe, encouraging attendees to feel comfortable and open. 

The format is straightforward yet effective. After arriving and quick mingle, the ladies sit while the men rotate. You have a series of short dates, each lasting about five to seven minutes. These mini-dates, allow attendees to engage in fun conversation with a dozen or more potential partners in one evening. Moreover, it’s an opportunity for busy professionals who might not have the time to meet people through conventional means, providing a platform to connect face-to-face in a controlled and respectful setting.

Our sophisticated software, much like an online dating app, pairs participants with similar interests and preferences. Post-event, simply select whoever you like be it as a romantic match or plutonic friendship. It offers a practical solution to the complexities of modern dating, removing the ambiguity often associated with online profiles.

So remember it’s as much about going with the exaptation of having fun as it is about meeting new people. I know it can be scary but after your first few chats you’ll find your rhythm and you can go alone or bring a friend. So don’t spend another weekend alone a book a speed dating event in Brisbane.
