Really great people this time. It got VERY loud after though and one girl was clearly very uncomfortable having to shout.

What inadequate people sit on your site, there is nothing positive in them only negativity. I will never get acquainted with anyone through your site again.

I really enjoy talking to everyone via virtual speed dating! Great that you split the men and women into different groups - it work much better that way. Maybe if you could try and find more people to take part. Also, maybe if you could organise for us to not just speed date, but also do an activity, such as answer questions together or something? Because it was rather short. Also, if there are only 8 women to see, why not make the date a bit longer - I found they were only maybe 3-4 minutes long. Why not make them 5 minutes therefore?

I had fun! Mat was great, worked well with Zoom and break out rooms. Well organised and good use of technology to create a virtual event.

It was well organised, but the registration/ice breaker part at the beginning of virtual event could have been more chatty and welcoming. Yeah to a degree, I think doing online events is always going to be tricky, I was hoping to stick around for a talk with the members I wanted to speak to, but I saw it being difficult, as you would have several people talking over each other. Be Good if you could all get a choice of rooms to join into after the 5min dates! Overall I enjoyed it!

Fantastic, prompt date rotation. The host Steve was very professional and interacted very well with all the participants. Had a great time would like it to do it again sometime in the future. That's if I don't get a match from the first event thoroughly enjoyed every second! Thank you for putting this great event together

Lots of fun, great mix of people and well attended. It was really good and not too overwhelming by having too many people; 6 males and 6 females were good enough. Enjoyed the virtual event more than I expected, and appreciated the chance to talk with some of the attendees after the main experience was over.

It was a good laugh! The only thing -there were long gaps between dates. Last Friday was slicker. However the company was good and the evening was overall good. The names don't seem to match for everyone that I met. Thanks

I went because I wanted to have a fun experience and was ready to start dating again. There are several different services offered and I found that the quality of people, the venues, and the hosts for the SpeedDater.co.uk events have always been tops. Ultimately it's still dating so the nights are never perfect; but I've always felt comfortable, had a great time, and I've made some great friends. Show up planning on having a good time and you will.

I thoroughly enjoyed the evening - just wish you organised more events for Speeddaters over the age of 55 regionally, i. E. Guildford, Brighton in the south.

Mat was a great host, I think we were all a bit nervous at first but he made it really fun and relaxed. Maybe a slightly little more time per person, as we seem to spend 5 minutes talking about corona!

The event was well-organized. Speeddater was a great way to meet new people. There were 2 girls I liked a lot and I matched with 1 of them, so I'm pretty excited because we have our first date tonight. I hope it works out. If not, I will definitely do it again.

I wasn't sure initially about how I felt about the whole speed dating thing but had decided to give it a try. I found myself looking forward to trying it out. Well I'm glad I went. I had the chance to meet a number of different people. I may not have met my prince charming this time but I will definitely do this again at another events. It's definitely beats the online thing hands down!

They have really fun events where you can meet people in a very organic manner. The people at the events are really interesting and they are looking to meet someone which is way better than just going to a bar or club. The events are well organized and generally creatively done. There are always new people to meet at each event, so the singles do vary from event to event.

It was an amazing event. My first time on speeddating enjoyed it. Meg was great, the most efficient host and very professional, good food and a random thing to do during lockdown. Was good to meet new people and try something new.

They makes sure to introduce you to others and makes you feel comfortable, especially if you go on your own, which I always do. The events are very well organized, and even if I don't find my match, I always have an enjoyable time meeting new people. I highly recommend giving it a try!

I have been to one event so far and it was the most fun had in a very long time! The people at the party were funny and interesting. If you want to expand your social circle, meet attractive individuals, and possibly spark a connection, I suggest you give Speeddater a try.
