Speed dating experiences?

    Just wondering has anyone any experiences of speed-dating, or any specific events to recommend?

    One other question, is it expected that you bring along a 'wing-man' or indeed 'wing-woman', or can you just turn up on your own?

    Hi Op

    I think it is something you could go alone to but I only went to one once and I was exhausted after it, basically talking to a lot of people in a very short space of time and not knowing what to say was awful for me. I think I liked one person that I could remember. I went with a friend and I was glad because at least we had a good chat/laugh about it again, for me personally I didn't like it but if you are the sociable, chatty type then maybe you'll enjoy it.

    I've never done it, but you would be fine going alone AFAIK. They break you up to talk to someone one-on-one so you wouldn't be using a wing-man anyway.

    Hey,


    Did this once a few months ago. Would highly recommend doing it with a friend, but you won't look odd by doing it on your own

    Have to agree with miec, I found it very very tiring. It was just too long. Telling people what you do for a living 20 times in a row is very tiring.
    It's not something I enjoyed in itself, but I met a girl I really liked. The system is that you tick a girl/guy as "Yes" "No" or "Friends". And you find out who matched you. Matched with this one girl, met up with her, but it never worked out.

    Have to say I didn't really enjoy the experience cause the whole thing felt like hard work. Defo wouldn't do it for the craic anyway. But if you meet someone out of it, it's worth it I think. The girls were mostly very nice btw.

    Defo give it a go. I keep meaning doing it again, but am just dreading all the small talk!
