First Match Dating
By Charlotte Stace
Looking to shake up your Sunday and meet people the old school way? First Match Dating Sundays is a speed-dating night for singles aged 25-44, and it’s all about ditching the apps and getting back to real, face-to-face connections. No swiping, no awkward DMs - just short conversations, a drink in hand, and the chance to see if there’s genuine chemistry in real life.
The format is easy and relaxed, with at least seven timed mini-dates that give you space to chat and get a true first impression. The hosts keep things moving smoothly, while breaks between rounds let you grab a drink, debrief with friends, reset, and enjoy the evening. Once the rounds wrap up, the night opens into a more informal atmosphere for anyone who wants to stay around and chat for longer.
It’s refreshingly human, low pressure and a welcome reminder that meeting someone can be simple and offline.
