What Men Are Saying About ZEST Speed Dating
Wondering what ZEST Speed Dating is really like?
Here are some genuine comments from men who've attended our speed dating evenings in Exeter. Some were trying speed dating for the first time, while others have enjoyed the experience enough to come back again.
“You have nothing to lose giving this a try. You might make a wonderful connection, or just enjoy the evening meeting new people. It really doesn’t matter if you don’t make a match, that just means the right woman wasn’t there this time.
Next time the different mix of people might bring the match you’re looking for.
At the very least you’ll enjoy meeting new people in a well organised and supportive environment, and someone special might just be sitting opposite you.”
— Martin, ZEST Speed Dating guest
