Dating events in Melbourne — FAQ
Where do singles meet in Melbourne?
Date My Mate is coming to Melbourne. Our friend-powered dating events run at pubs around town — a relaxed way to meet singles in person, with no apps and no swiping. Join the waitlist and we'll email you the moment the first Melbourne night is locked in.
What happens at a Melbourne Date My Mate night?
The same night we run in Sydney, brought to Melbourne. Doors from 6pm at a local pub, the first half is mates pitching their single friends to the room off a short slide deck, then a bar break, a second round, and the rest of the evening is the whole room mingling. The Melbourne venue and date go to the waitlist first.
Is this a pitch-your-mate night in Melbourne?
Yes. Pitch your mate, pitch my mate, pitch your single friend — it's all the same format, and Date My Mate is how it runs in Melbourne. A mate takes the mic with a short slide deck and pitches their single friend to the room, then the whole room mingles over drinks for the second half.
Is this speed dating in Melbourne?
No. Speed dating in Melbourne means timed rotations and a bell. This is a pub, a microphone, and a mate who knows you well enough to sell you to the room — no forced one-on-ones and nothing on a timer. Once the pitches are done the whole room just mingles.
