Christian Speed Dating London (Ages: 30-45) *Ladies Tickets Sold Out*
**\*\*THIS IS NOT A FREE EVENT & RSVP ON MEET UP DOES NOT GUARANTEE ENTRY\*\***
**TO ATTEND THIS EVENT A TICKET MUST BE PURCHSED FROM OUR WEBSITE. PLEASE CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE A TICKET:** [Speed Dating at The Anthologist, Bank (Ages 30-45) – Tuesday, 19th May 2026 | True Dating](https://truedating.co.uk/events/christian-speed-dating-19-may-2026)
Reaching a point in life where you’re ready to settle down and build something meaningful can sometimes feel isolating, especially when you’re hoping to meet someone who shares your Christian faith and values.
**That’s where Christian speed dating comes in.**
At our events, you’ll have the opportunity to meet up to 15 like-minded singles in one evening. Each date lasts around five minutes, enough time to have a genuine conversation and see whether there’s a connection. Ladies remain seated while gentlemen rotate.
Our guests are typically working, successful Christian professionals who are tired of endless swiping and are genuinely looking for something long-term. Everyone attending has signed up in advance, is single, and is there for the same reason as you.
The atmosphere is friendly, relaxed, and welcoming, with experienced hosts on hand to guide the evening and help put everyone at ease.
After the event, you’ll submit your matches online. If there’s a mutual connection, you’ll be able to message securely the following day and hopefully arrange date number two.
### Why Speed Dating?
Speed dating events are more popular than ever in London as people move away from dating apps and back towards real-life connections.
If you’re wondering whether events like this are awkward or not “your kind of crowd,” you’re not alone — but that perception has changed completely.
### What to Expect on the Night
* A well-organised, hosted event
* A room full of single Christian professionals
* A safe, structured environment
* The chance to meet multiple potential matches in one evening
### Event Details
* **Start time:** 7:30pm
* **Location:** Exclusive area reserved — please ask venue staff for **True Dating** if needed
Places are limited and our events often sell out, so we recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.
**Stop swiping. Start dating.**

In the heart of The City, just moments from Liverpool St. Station, The Otherist is an elegant and relaxed setting for meeting new people.

During table rotations, you will have a moment to record on note cards your feelings towards the previous date and intention to reconnect, for your reference only.
Midway through the evening, your host will indicate a 15-minute comfort break to use the restroom, head to the bar, or socialise with new connections. Dating will then resume for the second half of the evening.
At the end of the speed dating, the bar will remain open for more socialising. You can then access the event listing in your dashboard to enter feedback on dates and await your matches.

Sunshine & Silliness | The ADHDers Picnic | Holborn | Everyone Welcome
We are back again for another day of fun, silly laughs and making new friends!
The event is a picnic in London for ADHDers, neurodivergent people, and friendly chaotic sorts. You don't need ADHD, or a diagnosis. Cool, nice people are welcome.
We’ll be in Lincoln's Inn Fields from 3pm and finish at... whenever. A loose ending feels on brand.
Expect:
* snacks, chats, and fresh air
* wandering conversations and abrupt topic changes
* people arriving late, leaving early, and forgetting what they were saying
* a friendly mix of regulars and new people
Bring:
* something to sit on
* food and drinks
* water
* layers / suncream / emergency crisps
Lincol's Inn Fields is central, easy to get to, and near cafés, pubs and toilets, which is all very helpful for a picnic and for being alive.
Come for twenty minutes or all day. Lurk gently. Overshare magnificently. Get distracted by a dog. Plenty of people come alone, so solo arrivals are very normal. If you are a feeling
a bit shy or awkward, please ask for
Kieran, (that's me) and we can have a chat.
A nice, low-pressure London ADHD social meetup where you overstimulated folks can touch grass for a few hours.
**Directions:**
Come into Lincoln's Inn Field, look for a tree where a bright yellow blanket will be hanging. It's not a big space, we'll be easy to find.

Burnaby Interactive Speed Dating for First-timers
**💖 Speed Dating Built for Locals for Burnaby Locals**
As a guest, you'll enjoy guided one-on-one video rounds with Burnaby singles matched to you by age and personality, with someone hosting live from start to finish.
As part of your registration, you complete a short personality quiz — those results are used to match you with Burnaby people who are actually compatible, so every person you meet has been matched to you on purpose.
Once the evening wraps up, your mutual matches are disclosed — with no one-sided reach-outs ever happening — and from that point you call the shots.
**Registration — choose your age group:**
- **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Burnaby&groupurlname=sparking-lasting-ties-through-outdoor-socials&ar=18-32&face_v=6.0)

**⚠️ Please note:** Rsvping on meetup does not confirm your spot at the event, so click your age range link above, complete the sign-up, and take the personality questions — limited capacity means you should not wait, and only a completed registration locks in your seat.
---
**Perfect for:**
- Professionals from around Burnaby getting away from unread messages and dead-end conversations and are serious about meeting someone.
- Individuals from around Burnaby getting away from matches that ghost after two messages and need a better way to meet people.
- Returners around Burnaby moving on from shallow connections that never lead anywhere and are ready for a genuine first impression.
**What happens**
1. **Grab your spot** – through the age group link above, then complete the short personality quiz, as the quiz plus registration is what counts.
2. **Join Zoom** – by opening the Zoom link at the event start, phone computer or tablet — whatever you prefer, and everything runs on the host's schedule from that point.
3. **Go through the rounds** – back-to-back private Zoom rounds with personality-matched Burnaby locals in your group, as the host keeps everything smooth and well-timed, as every round is with someone selected for you by the quiz.
4. **Review your matches** – we share mutual match results after the session closes, with no one-sided reach-outs since only mutual matches get each other's details, and then the rest is yours to decide entirely.
💡 **Worth knowing:** log into Zoom five minutes early, so nothing interrupts the flow of a good conversation, and the host handles everything else from that point.

✨ Real people, short rounds, no apps — use the link above to register and the evening takes care of itself whenever you are set. See you in the first round. 🫶 ✨

Surrey Personality Matched Speed Dating Zoom
**🪷 Speed Dating Live on Zoom for Singles near Surrey**
You get to cycle through rapid one-on-one Zoom dates with Surrey singles matched by age and personality, while the host manages transitions so you can focus on the person in front of you.
As part of the process, a two-minute quiz captures your personality — those details are used to identify compatible Surrey singles for your rounds, so the format works harder than any dating app.
Once it is wrapped up, we send mutual match results — with nothing shared unless both parties agreed — and you are in control of what happens next.
**Your age group, your link:**
- **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Surrey&groupurlname=the-collective-for-intentional-social-growth&ar=18-32&face_v=4.0)

**⚠️ Required step:** This rsvp does not equal a reserved seat, so select your age range link above, fill in the registration, and answer the personality quiz — capacity is intentionally small so get in early, and your place is confirmed only once you have done both.
---
**Your evening, step by step**
1. **Claim your spot** – by tapping the link for your age group, then finish the compatibility quiz, as the quiz plus registration is what counts.
2. **Jump on Zoom** – by clicking the Zoom link at the event start time, zero setup is required — just open the link, and once you are in the host handles the rest entirely.
3. **Have your dates** – short one-on-one rounds with personality-matched Surrey locals in your group, as the host signals each transition calmly and clearly, and the people in your rounds were sorted specifically for you.
4. **Find your matches** – mutual matches are sent to you privately after the event ends, since non-mutual choices are never shared with either party, and once you have it you decide how and when to connect.
**Who shows up:**
- Members from Surrey bored of dating apps that go nowhere and want to meet real locals without the faff.
- First-timers from around Surrey looking beyond the app treadmill that goes in circles and are serious about meeting someone.
- Individuals across Surrey getting away from apps that waste evenings for no return and want to meet real locals without the faff.
- Residents from around Surrey looking beyond swiping with nothing to show for it and prefer meeting people in person first.
- Locals calling Surrey home getting away from dating apps that go nowhere and are ready for a genuine first impression.
**About the Event**
- **Format:** Dedicated and hosted via Zoom with back-to-back private rounds per pair, sorted by personality quiz and age for every round.
- **Where:** At-home — on any internet-connected device, no special equipment — just a device with a camera and internet, and couch desk or spare room are all equally valid spots.
- **Host:** A supportive host guides every round from start to finish, so the evening runs without a hitch — not a single logistical thing is left for you to manage.
- **Vibe:** Comfortable video rounds with Surrey singles who are here for the same reason you are, and the host keeps everything comfortable throughout.
- **Duration:** Usually sixty to ninety minutes from round one onwards, though times can vary slightly.
⭐ *"Better than expected — way better than anything I have tried before"* – Surrey local, first event
💡 **Worth knowing:** put your phone on silent before joining, and the host takes care of everything else from there, since small prep leads to a noticeably better experience.
---
✨ Done with apps — start here — grab your place above before it goes and we sort the rest this time. See you in the first round. 💕 ✨
Richmond Age Matched Speed Dating Zoom
**🌟 One-on-One Speed Dating Online for Richmond Singles on Zoom**
Each evening, you'll experience brief timed Zoom sessions with age-matched personality-sorted Richmond locals, as a friendly host guides every transition.
As you finalise your spot, you complete a brief compatibility form — we use those answers to put the right Richmond singles in front of you, so every round is informed by more than just looks.
Once it is wrapped up, mutual connections are confirmed and shared — contact details flow only on mutual selection — and from there you take it forward at your own pace.
**Pick your age group and register:**
- **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Richmond&groupurlname=the-collective-for-intentional-social-growth&ar=18-32&face_v=4.0)

**⚠️ Two steps needed:** Clicking rsvp here is not the same as registering, so register through the age group link, complete the form, and take the two-minute personality quiz — spots fill quickly so do not leave it too long, and the quiz plus registration together hold your place.
---
**What to do**
1. **Book your spot** – via your age group registration link, then answer the personality questions, as without this your RSVP holds nothing.
2. **Open the call** – at the event start time via your Zoom link, works anywhere with a camera and internet, and round management is all on the host from there.
3. **Connect** – timed one-on-one speed dates with compatible Richmond singles in your bracket, while the host runs the clock so you can focus on the conversation, as the quiz results already did the work of choosing who you meet.
4. **Check your results** – we reveal mutual matches once the session ends, with contact info only shared when both of you said yes, and you reach out whenever you feel ready.
