Dating Events in Amsterdam

Looking for love? Interested in making new friends? Meet the most eligible internationals in the Netherlands. Don't miss out - true love could be waiting!

Increasingly, many single professionals with a successful career lack a good way to find that special someone to share their life with. They typically have very limited time for social activities to meet new and interesting people. Expatica SpeedDate is a great alternative to the time-consuming, superficial bar scene and the agonising blind date. It provides you a structured opportunity to meet someone special, or at least have a great night out.

If you're interested in the concept but would like to know more, here is what some of our previous participants have to say:
He says: "Thanks for the email addresses (got the one I wanted!) and also for hosting a nice night Saturday night. I knew it would be fun but ended up really enjoying it a lot more than expected. I'll be back for sure next time with friends."
She says: "Thank you so much for organizing this wonderful evening! I've found the atmosphere to be informal, fun, and relaxed (not necessarily what I expected ;). ... I had a very good time."

For some, Expatica SpeedDate is more than just a fun way to meet new people. Several couples who met at an Expatica SpeedDate are still together, some even started a family. One couple recounted their experiences for us in this interview.

This is how it works: Upon arrival, you will receive a welcome drink and a list of the singles you will meet that evening. Once the dating starts, you will have three minutes to find a click with each single of the opposite sex. After each session, the guys move on for the next dating round. You can then indicate whether you'd like to stay in touch with your date by marking them on your list. After 25 dates, you'll have the opportunity to socialize with everyone over a drink (or two).

... Monday Morning.... we sort out the paper work and with any luck, you'll find a match in your mailbox.

We can only invite 25 gentlemen and 25 ladies to this event, so make sure that you RSVP quickly!
