Magnet speed dating was set up by two professional women with experience of the internet and speed dating scene, who, disenchanted with the whole business, decided to set up a Magnet for people who are hopeful but not desperate.
Magnet speed dating has been successfully running monthly for over two years. The always popular event has been held downstairs in the cellar bar of The Sanctuary Cafe in Brighton. It's been a really good choice of venue, hidden and underground with a cultured and friendly atmosphere ... and the bar in the room really helps..
Differing age groups have been run as well as different categories of interest i.e. single parent speed dating.. .gay speed dating...over 45’s speed dating...
Many people like to come in a pairs or more but those who come alone find that any nerves they had quickly vanish once the evening starts and one is thrown into 20 spontaneous and fast- moving, new encounters. As every one loosens- up it becomes an opportunity for a really social night ... usually continuing on to a pub somewhere.
It has been noted that the three minutes seem like forever if your encounter is just not happening and that the three minutes vanish leaving you feeling robbed of time ...if you have chemistry.
The success rate in terms of matches ... is always exciting ... mostly everybody gets at least one if not more ... but of course there are people who don’t get a match and so return again to next time find one!
Magnet speed dating is now venturing into Lewes and will hold its first event in Lincolns Bar, Lewes high Street ... be assured the whole venue will only be open to those participating and the age range for that evening Sunday 22nd August will be 28 - 45years.
If you are a little older and prefer younger people or a little younger and prefer older then its fine to book on - the age bracket is a guide not a limit.
