How Speed Dating Works in Bournemouth

When you arrive at the Bournemouth venue you will be greeted by our friendly professional hosts. Once everyone has arrived and registered we will briefly explain the format of the evening. The ladies will then be asked to make their way to their allocated table. Once the ladies are seated the gentlemen will be asked to proceed to their first date.

You will have 4 minutes to chat to each date, once the 4 minutes is over we will ring a bell to indicate the time is up and for the gentlemen to move to their next date. Four minutes is long enough to see if you click with the person you are talking to and whether you would like to see them again and also short enough if you don't.

At the end of each date you have a brief few moments to make some notes on the person you have just dated. This is something to help jog your memory for the post event matching process the next day.

Half way through the event you will have an interval break so you can nip to the toilet or top up your drink. Once all the dates are over you have the opportunity to stay on at the venue to mingle freely with others. Please remember to take your dating card home with you to assist you in entering in your ticks and potential matches.

Post Event

No later than midday the following day our matching system will be unlocked for you to enter your ticks from the previous evening. You have all day to tick as many people as you like from the night before. We guarantee you will find someone you will want to see again, otherwise we will give you your next Speed Dating event for free!

I had lots of fun! Everyone was so lovely and interesting, though I think 4 mins is definitely not long enough! Any time you get the ball rolling with a prompt from smalltalk you suddenly lose all the time and have to move on, so everyone just blurs into one! Also would be nice to have a bit longer so you actually have time to make some notes since I was having to remember things quite rushed! Also I think it would really benefit from splitting the group into two - as a 21-year-old I think a lot of 30-35 year olds aren't really likely to be a good match for me and likewise they would think the same of me for them, so I think splitting into 20-27 and 28-35 could be a better system. But I loved meeting and talking to people and had a great time! Drinks were good, venue was lovely, host was awesome - felt super safe and confident throughout.

For a first-timer the build-up was way more intimidating than the actual event, a very relaxed setting and lovely host/people so I was at ease straight away. It's a strange format coming from either online or "real-world" dating and some conversations felt like 10 seconds rather than 4 minutes (in a good way). For anyone not sure - give it a go! If nothing else you get to meet new people and share some (short) stories!

Good experience, right amount of time with each person opportunity to speak to someone in break and at end. Lovely host, good night.

Good ratio of men to women for the evening - and not too many people overall at the event so you can remember more about who you met

Good! My first time and after a few initial nerves i genuinely enjoyed chatting face to face with different men. I had prepared questions (a light hearted quick fire either/or) and answers (in case anyone asked about favourite book/film/music genre) but these were not needed as conversation flowed naturally around why we were there, our dating/divorce situation, our work & interests. And 4 mins goes quickly! It is quite tiring listening to individual’s stories whilst checking them out !! I thought the age range (40’s & 50’s) would draw mostly men in their upper 50’s looking for women in their early 40’s but there were men in their 40’s still working & with young children which generated interesting & diverse conversations. I didn’t fancy anyone but i would definitely do speed dating again. Preferable to online dating!
