Slow Dating Real Life Review

Trying several online dating websites for over a year didn’t seem to work for me. So I decided to make an account with Slow Dating and receive updates for their speed dating events near my location. This was from a recommendation made by my friend who attended speed dating events organised by Slow Dating.
After signing up, I booked online and attended 3 speed dating events in London. During the speed dating event, I had a chance to talk with 10 girls for 4 minutes. After the night, all the participants had to fill out a form that indicated the people we wanted to share our contact details in. On the first two speed dating events, I had follow-up dates with a few girls who matched my type and frequency. One girl that stood out and had real chemistry with me became my girlfriend, and we’ve been dating for over 2 years now. Thanks to Slow Dating, I might have met the person I’m going to spend the rest of my life with at 30 years old. -Joey, 25

I really didn't believe in this kind of dating set-up, but actually, it actually is something. It's exciting, the dating events are fun. Since I'm not used to it, it actually is refreshing. And most of all I met someone special! That's the dream! -Halley, 28

Design and Usability

Slow Dating’s website presents a simple and clean design. The design sticks to the company’s brand colours of white, gold, and midnight blue. Call-to-action buttons are accented by using the pink and purple colours.

The five tabs are organised well on the menu bar. You can easily navigate through the website and find what it is you are looking for. For instance, if you want to find a particular event specified in an area, you can choose to go to the ‘Find an event’ tab. Or if you want to take a look at the list of all speed dating events happening in the next months, you can check out the ‘List all events’ tab. Or, if you want to read some success stories of real life people who met through the speed dating events organised by Slow Dating, you can head on to the ‘Success Stories’ tab.
