Hi Blink! I am now married to a boy I met at my very first night speed dating in May 2 years ago....so thank you!!!
We were married on the 29th December after just a short engagement and having known each other for 18 months.
Here is a picture from the wedding.
In love and happily married (ha ha)

"Thank
you Blink for introducing me to my husband!
We met at a speed dating event at the Llama bar
on the 9th of November 2005 and got married on
the 9th of March 2007.
I was not a fan of the idea of internet dating
and how else can you meet 12 potential partners
on one night? It was a great night and on top of
all that I found my soul mate.
We now suggest speed dating to all our single
friends…"

"Just a quick note to let you know that Ian and
I met at Speed Dating in early November last
year and are now looking forward to our wedding
on New Year's Eve.
We were
really impressed with the blink dating concept
and obviously think it is very successful!"

“Thank you Blink for helping Jo and I get together! We met on your Sydney speed dating event in August and we've been happily together since. We tell all our friends about how we met and I wish other Blink guests as much luck as we had! Thank you!”

It has been over a year since Stefanie and I met
at the Blink Dating event at Hoyts Queen St,
Brisbane. We both went to the event as a bit of
fun with friends, not really expecting to meet
anyone. The six minutes that we had together
flew by as we got along really well. The movie
event afterwards gave a great opportunity to get
to know each other a bit more. I was excited to
see Stefanies' contact details come through the
next day and called to arrange our first date.
From that point on, things have been fantastic.
If it wasn't for Blink we would never have met
as we lived in different areas and were both
sick of the nightclub scene.
Deciding to go the Blink event was the best
investment I have ever made.

“We met at a speed dating event in October ’05
at the Melbourne Stellar Bar. The event - the
first (and only) for both of us - was good fun
and well managed. We hit it off from the start
and within 9 months of meeting at Blink we moved
in together. We are now expecting our first baby
in April ‘07!
If you are thinking about Blink Speed Dating -
we say go for it...you just never know what's
around the corner!”

We just thought we would drop you a line and let
you know about the success of our Speed Dating
experience. We both attended a Speed Dating
evening in May of 2005 at the Privilege Bar in
the Blackett Hotel, Sydney.
Going along with friends for a fun night out, we
both approached the evening with an open but
sceptical mind about the reality of meeting
someone special. Overall we had a great night
meeting many single and cool people like us.
To our surprise we did both find that someone
special in the 5 minutes we had to get to know
each other and the rest is history! We are now
living together and very much in love.
On the 28th of May we will be celebrating our
one year anniversary.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank
you for bringing us together and to say to
anyone who has ever contemplated doing speed
dating to go along and see what destiny may
bring your way!

I went along to Blink Speed Dating at the Llama Bar with an open mind and
ended up thoroughly enjoying the night. I ended up hitting it off straight
away with Steve...so well in fact that we are now expecting our first child
in one week!
Thanks for your help!

"I just wanted to thank Blink a million times
for your help in finding my soul mate! Richard
and I met on the 6th of September 2004 and it's
been a terrific love story since that day! I
moved in just 3 months later! It was for both of
us our first speed dating experience and it was
at the Stellar bar in Melbourne. I had
discovered Blink through the internet and
Richard just went there to follow a friend of
him. The evening was well organised : yummy
finger food, 2 free drinks and a very friendly
hostess. That helped all of us to relax ! I
talked to Richard only towards the end of the
evening, he was the second or third last on my
card. I didn't have noticed him before. We
talked non-stop for the 6 minutes allocated, and
both found it sooooo short and wanted to know
more about the other. We caught up at the end of
the speed dating, talked more, laughed and
admitted that we both ticked each other's number
on the card in order to have our details
exchanged the next day. What will stay in my
mind forever is what the hostess said when we
left. She took my number 6 sticker and his
number 4 and swap them around, saying 'you two,
it's gonna work - you'll tell that story to the
kids!' We both looked at each other, smiling,
and YES it worked very well indeed. We just
celebrated our 15 months together few days ago.
We are both very happy and thankful to Blink for
bringing us together. There would have been no
chances for us to met otherwise, leaving in
different area and having different hobbies.
Good luck to all single souls out there. Give
Blink a go!"

"Jim & I met at Blink Speed Dating in Feb 2005 and we didn't hook up for a couple of months, actually I wasn't going to pick him because he was a bit sloshed (out with one of his mates!!!), but he had a nice smiley face! We hit our three month aniversery with a celebration for the long weekend at a challet in Margaret River - he's great after all!"

I came along with a friend for a laugh, as she said it would be good for us to get out of our comfort zone. I’m so glad I met Pauly! We are so well suited, get on so well, and have big plans for our future together.
Paul says "It was the best $50 bucks I ever spent!!"

"We’re engaged!! We met at speed dating over a
year ago now and are so happy to have found each
other.
It is really hard these days to meet nice
eligible people and speed dating was a great way
to do it. We both enjoyed the friendly relaxed
atmosphere and the opportunity to stay on after
the event to spend more time with those “speed
dates” we really clicked with. We both had a
great night and met some lovely people.
Thank you Blink for giving us the opportunity to
finally meet that special someone. We recommend
Blink speed dating to all our single friends!!"

”Speed dating does work: I met Samantha on March
29 2006 at an event in Brisbane. What a night
that was! Last Saturday night I asked her to
marry me - she said 'yes' and we are to be
married in 2007. Thank you Yasmin and Blink
Dating for bringing us together! Cheers”

"I attended one of your events back in April
2004 and met my partner there whom I am still
with and we are now looking to get engaged very
soon. It still amazes me that we met with one of
your events and we are still together planning
the rest of our lives together!!! Very exciting.
Thank you!"

"Hi - just want to say how much I enjoyed the
night even though I didn't have any matches. I
would certainly go again in the future and will
encourage other friends to do so. The venue was
great, it was well organised and our Host -
well, she was Fab!!!"

"Hi
Fabiola! Just thought id let you know, Jason
proposed last week - so I guess there is true
testimony that Blink Speed Dating can work!!"

"I would like to thank you for your service, I
met the man of my dreams who I would never have
met any other way, and I have never been
happier. Thank you so much for the opportunity
to meet him, and of course so many other nice
people on the night."

"Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know that I
have met the most amazing person thanks to you!
You know, the funny thing is - We didn't click
straight away, but we both ticked 'Yes' (I think
I made him), we caught up for a 'friendly' drink
(neither of us wanted anything too serious) and
what do you?! We are loving each other like
crazy. Cheers!"

I had Saturday night! I was honestly a bit
nervous but it was a lot of fun. I have told

"Just thought I'd drop you a line to let you
know I have been happily dating James whom I met
speed dating in November 2005. (My first and
only speed dating experience). Things are going
very well! Anyway, it's fantastic to be dating a
wonderful guy after 4 years of being single! So
thanks again for the night and I hope others are
meeting with equal success."

first speed date last year. Even
though I had one match that didn't turn out. I

always gets better."
