Birmingham covers a vast area and there is plenty to do for singles. However, if you do happen to find yourself at a loose end one evening then why not check online and see what’s going on at one of the popular Birmingham speed dating events?

Organised nights are generally grouped according to age which means all the other people there are eligible, in the same age bracket as you, and are looking for fun as well as open to the possibility of a lasting relationship. Imagine finding any other location ticking all these boxes? The people you meet elsewhere are either too young, too old, married or gay!

Generally there can be anything from 10 to 50 potential partners so there’s a strong chance you’ll meet at least one other person who is interesting or hot enough for a second date. Most people arrange second dates with 4 or 5 speed daters and even if you find you aren’t attracted to them in a physical way, you’ll have made a new friend and can get to meet all their single friends, increasing your social opportunities tenfold.

The huge benefit to using these services is that it is so safe. When you walk into a nightclub or bar and get talking to a total stranger then there are always risks involved, however dating events offer a safer environment and organisers do all they can to check out the venue before deciding it is a good place for singles to get together. This involves ensuring the venue is in an area that is easy to reach, within walking distance to public transport, and situated on well-lit streets with secure parking.

Also, as everyone is there for the same reason there’s no way you will hear that tired old line, ‘sorry, I’m married’, or, ‘I have a boyfriend’.

Speed dating events are very casual, although it’s important you make an impression by wearing something smart or trendy, there’s no need to go over the top and turn up in a suit and tie. Some people get quite nervous at the thought of meeting so many new people, the last thing they want is also to be uncomfortable in their Sunday best.

Just look online at DitchorDate.com and you’ll find lots events organised all over the UK. You have to book early though as tickets get sold out very quickly, if you like the look of a particular event then call their booking hotline or book online and get your name on the list. Ticket prices all depend on the type of venue so expect to pay anything from £15 – 25 for the evening, generally events are held in bars but the organiser will have booked a private room so there are no nosy onlookers!

Of course if you are really interested in someone and seem to click you don’t always have just the 3 or 4 minutes to talk to them. As the venues are bars and hotels some daters like, and are welcome, to stay on after the dating part of the evening is over.
