Speed dating australia reviews

I tried curated speed dating because I’ve given up on dating apps

And here I am a self-confessed introverted serial monogamist — waiting for my phone to tick over to 7pm so I could see what all the fuss is about — Speed Dating on Bumble. I met a girl the other week who married one of her Bumble dates which other than making me giddy with the thrill of a success story, it also solidified my thoughts that I should probably download the app and give it a go. Again, speed dating brings up mental images of 90s powersuits crammed in a dimly lit bar trying desperately to not derail conversation with the mention of sweaty palms and an overpowering scent of Giorgio Armani. Safe to say, a healthy dose of hesitancy. Two thrills for the price of one! Yes — three minutes. According to my sources in the big wide world, three minutes is standard even in real life speed dating which is a truly horrifying thought. After my seconds in heaven expire, a small picture of the person is revealed along with their name and age. At that point, once you have a face, name and age you can decide if you want to keep chatting. If you reject the norms of dating apps being surface level — this is for you.

The events are really well organised, with flowing drinks, food and a bunch of people ready to mingle. Our group had so much fun at the event, we all went out together after for some drinks. I attended alone and it was not as confronting as I thought it would be. I made some new friends who introduced me to other friends as well! Would definitely recommend these events as a great way for singles to meet people.

Very well organised and always a memorable experience with friendly wonderful hosts. The ability to match after the event through their online platform is also an exc ellent idea.

Above Average. This site gives a VERY limited choice of matches, and my own search criteria are not that stringent. There are currently not that many users, it seems; it's just not worth anyone's time or energy. I signed up and found little value in their service.
