What we’re about
~ A relaxed, casual way of making friends and dates ~
Wouldn't it be great to have a friendly, stress-free environment to meet potential dates, without the rigmarole of online dating? You must try this new craze: offline dating! Often you can tell more about a person within a few seconds of meeting than you can after weeks of back and forth online. Who has time for that these days! Let's put down our phones and connect in real life.
We do professionally run events where you're guaranteed to meet a host of singles in your age category, at some of the finest venues in Brisbane. Meetup groups can be hit and miss, but not in this case. We often get more people attending than the event would suggest due to website searches and Facebook (ads). What started as a Meetup group has expanded into other frontiers: check out our webpage: www.ignitedates.com With the aid of our additional platforms we are able to run many events; catering for different tastes and budgets and assisting you in making connections with people you've met before.
The age group we cater for is typically between 20s and 50s, though occasionally we'll have a 60+ event or unrestricted age group. Members will be introduced to each other and encouraged to mingle and meet as many people as possible.
A big advantage of speed dating is not having to ask for people's phone numbers, which can put one on the spot. Instead you simply fill in your match card and the host will contact you the next day with your matches - it's like old-fashioned tinder :) As well as speed dating, where you'll meet everyone in attendance at the event (of the opposite gender), we strive to find interesting activities for people to bond over such as wine tasting, art classes or a river cruise.
One event is all it takes to spark something new!

See all- Speed dating 40s & 50sNosferatu Distillery Bar + Cafe, Bowen Hills
*To reserve your place you must sign up at https://ignitesocialbrisbane.com.au/event/speeddaters/
We’re excited to bring you speed dating on a Saturday night at this most desirable of locations; gin distillery Nosferatu. Gin is currently all the rage, and Nosferatu is quickly becoming renowned for their wide selection of in-house gins, including pavlova flavoured gin! Nosferatu is conveniently placed near Bowen Hills Station, with plenty of street parking options if you’re just getting the one drink.
If you're not sure how speed dating works, be sure to watch our explainer video above! Otherwise it's pretty much as follows:
Each date will go for between six and eight minutes, and if you match with your partner your contact details will be exchanged the next day via email (from the host). If the love bug doesn’t bite, but you’d like a friendship, you can choose to match as a friend. You can also choose between providing a phone number or email address to potential matches. The host will ensure everyone meets everyone, by moving people around.So give your thumbs and sanity a break from online dating by meeting genuine people who are serious about dating in a fun, stylish & safe environment.
