How It Works
On The Day Of The Event
You will receive a reminder email confirming the event details - it's time to get ready, look fabulous and head to the event. Aim to arrive as close to the start time so you can meet as many True Daters as possible. Late comers may not be able to participate. When you arrive at the venue, ask the staff for the True Dating party and you'll be directed to our privately reserved area. Our fantastic host will be on hand to warmly welcome you and answer any questions you may have.
During The Event
On arrival our host will give you a name badge and explain how the event works. You will typically have up to 15 dates, each last 4 minutes. Ladies will stay at the same table and gentlemen will rotate. As the dates go, you will make a note of each date on your scorecard so you can remember them when entering your matches after the event. Usually there will be a 15-minute break halfway through. As the event comes to an end, feel free to stick around, hang out and hopefully get a chance to pick up where you left off with one or two of your favourite dates!
After The Event
Here's where the magic begins! Login to your True Dating account and enter your matches. You'll come across three choices: "Love," "Friend," or "No." Choose the one that best describes your connection with each match. Make sure to enter your matches by 4 pm, as this marks the start of our online pairing process. And guess what? If the stars align and you both select "Love" for each other, it's a mutual match! 🌟 Then you can start chatting with each other using our secure messaging service. Who knows? You might just be on your way to planning date #2, and we'll be here cheering you on every step of the way!
So, why not come along? 90% of our attendees get at least one match at our events. And if you don't, we guarantee your next event will be free!
Our Reviews
I had been hesitant to attend speed dating events, but I'm so glad I did! I met some great people and even ended up dating one of them. Thank you, True Dating, for hosting such fun and inclusive events!
Jeremiah
I've always been nervous about attending singles event London alone, but True Dating's events made me feel comfortable and welcome. I ended up making some great friends and would try again.
Monica
I'm not a big fan of dating apps and was looking for a different way to meet people. I met some great people at Shoreditch speed dating and even had a few dates. I highly recommend their events to anyone looking to expand their social circle and meet new people.
Annie
Attended singles party in Marylebone and met some lovely ladies so will definitely go again to your events.
Edward
Not as scary as I thought! Loved the host Lucy and event had a very chilled vibe.
Amy
So much better than dating apps. Nice to meet people in real life and actually see quickly if you like them or not. Didn’t meet anyone I liked but want to keep trying it out.
