That all sounds pretty good, but what do the people say?
Lana (27)
What an evening! It was a very busy night as there were 16 men in total, a bit too many I must say. Nevertheless, it was really cool to get to know so many new people.
Lauren (31)
I had seen this in the newspaper a long time ago and I was immediately interested but did not know if it would be my cup of tea. I came with low expectations and I must say I'm pleasantly surprised with the concept! I matched three of the men I met.
Hannah and Bart (35 & 39)
Hannah: I only came here to meet new people because I just moved out here. At first I was a bit stressed, but looking back it was a really good evening. You get to know new cool people (like Bart in the picture) in a fun and relaxed way.
Didier (43)
I wasn't expecting it, but I got to know some really cool women. I think it's a great alternative to online dating! I am looking for a woman with a gentle character and a good heart and I have certainly met women who fit this profile.
Sarah and Lorelai (24 & 26)
We had a great evening! We hesitated for a long time to try this and it's really worth it. Sarah will for sure have a match, I'm not so sure on the other hand!
Tom (35)
Leuke ervaring! Ik heb in totaal met 10 dames gesproken, er waren er twee bij die ik echt heel leuk vond dus die heb ik aangeduid. Eentje ervan was een match en we hebben nu nog steeds contact. Ik hoop dat we binnenkort eens gezellig kunnen gaan eten om elkaar verder te leren kennen.
Sylvia (43)
It went really well, I met interesting men and women as well (during the after drink). I really like this formula!
Kevin and Evelyn (39 & 32)
We've been together for 5 months now, we didn't expect this to be the result of a speed dating night! Evelyn only came because her friends had dragged her along, lucky me I guess!
Elsa (39)
I found it a little bit weird at first, but I have to say the evening actually went very well and after the third date I was completely into it. I'm still in touch with a man I met here, so I hope I will get back to you guys soon with a succes story!
Ann (43)
I was hesitant at first but I met several very nice men. I have matched 4 of them, is that too much? Haha I hope not. Anyway lets see tomorrow If there is a match. If not I will come back for sure, you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince!
Ingrid (51)
I am looking for a man who dares to step out of his comfort zone and try new things, life is too short! I certainly met a lot of men that tick some boxes tonight. If there is no match, I will definitely come back!
Catherine (42)
I had a very surprising evening, some dates went very smooth, other ones a little less so. Overall I certainly met some interesting men. I really prefer this over online dating, as a lot of ladies might know, men can be weird online.
Zoe (29)
I'm a big fan of all these reality TV programmes and I really wanted to experience something like this (but without everyone watching). I thought it was a really cool experience and exciting from start to finish. I really recommend this for all the singles out there!
Ines and Katherine (23 en 24)
I surprised Ines with a speed date. She didn't dare to do this at all, but in the end she has three matches. This is much better than all those online dating apps, at least you get to see who you're talking too, thank you!
Mark (42)
An interesting evening, to say the least. It went well and I spoke to a total of 11 ladies. A nice location too.
Martha & Raquel (32 and 31)
We met cool guys, really fun way to date! We were sitting next to each other and we had an amazing time! Martha was asking every guy if he would match me afterwards. We'll stick around for the after drink now, we'd love to get to know some of the guys better!
Anna and Douglas (34 & 36)
We met here tonight! Whether we matched to each other, we'll see tomorrow in our matchmail! It was a pleasant evening for both of us! A very relaxed way to meet lots of new people.
