Have you ever been on a blind date where within three minutes you wanted to escape? Or perhaps you've tried Internet dating and spent weeks swapping emails only to find there's no spark when you meet face-to-face. Or maybe, like a lot of people, you just don't meet other single people through your work or immediate circle of friends.

Most speed daters are professionals who want to meet more people. They're generally normal, attractive people who just aren't meeting people through their work or immediate circle of friends.

You can go to as many as you like. Most people at each event will be new to speed dating so it will give you more chances to meet the right person.
