I tried a speed dating meal at "Buskers Bar" opposite McDonalds top of moor. Was a great nite!
£15 3 course meal, give them your name, turn up and there were about 20 or so "couples" moved on after courses and left to own devices at end of night.
Definitely not seedy or corny, all over 25, lots of different backgrounds, I met a lass we dated for a couple of months but still friends.
Go for it!
