Question 1

What is speed dating and how does it work near me?

Accepted Answer

Speed dating is a fun, relaxed way to meet lots of new people in one evening. You’ll rotate through a series of short, 4–5 minute dates with other singles at your event. At the end of the night you choose who you’d like to see again and if there’s a mutual match True Dating will share your matches privately the next day.

Question 2

How do I find a speed dating event near me?

Accepted Answer

To find a speed dating event near you, browse the True Dating events page and filter by city, venue area or event type. We currently run speed dating in locations including London, Brighton and St Albans. Each event listing shows the exact location, date, time and age range so you can quickly find the best night for you.

Question 3

Do I need to book speed dating tickets in advance?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we strongly recommend booking your speed dating ticket in advance. Most True Dating events sell out, especially in busy locations like central London. Booking online secures your place instantly and you’ll receive a confirmation email with all the details for the night.

Question 4

What should I wear to a speed dating event?

Accepted Answer

Smart-casual works best for speed dating. Think what you’d wear for drinks with friends at a nice bar: neat, comfortable and confident. There’s no strict dress code at True Dating events, but first impressions count, so it’s worth making a little effort.

Question 5

Can I come to speed dating on my own?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. The majority of people attend True Dating events on their own. Our friendly hosts will welcome you when you arrive, explain how everything works and help you settle in so you never feel awkward or out of place.

Question 6

What happens if I don’t get any matches?

Accepted Answer

If you don’t get any matches at a True Dating speed dating event, you’ll still have had a fun night out and met new people. Many guests meet matches at their second or third event, and we regularly run age-specific and theme nights to help you find the best fit for you.

Question 7

Is speed dating near me only for certain age groups?

Accepted Answer

We run speed dating events for a range of age groups, including popular brackets such as late 20s, 30s, and over 40s. Each event clearly shows the intended age range so you can choose the night that feels right. If you’re 40+, you can also explore our dedicated Over 40s Dating in London page for more options.

Question 8

Where does True Dating run speed dating events in the UK?

Accepted Answer

True Dating currently runs speed dating events across London and in other UK locations including Brighton and St Albans. We host events in stylish bars and venues near major transport links. In Reading, we currently run singles parties rather than speed dating.
