Our evenings are called Speed Daten Overijssel and are held at a bar or restaurant in Enschede. That puts them within reach of the whole region: from Hengelo, Oldenzaal or Almelo you're there in twenty minutes to three quarters of an hour. Eight conversations of about ten minutes, for singles aged 20 to 45.
Sign up and you'll hear the date
Signing up costs nothing and commits you to nothing. If there are enough sign-ups within an age category, we send everyone who signed up a few possible dates. The evening that suits most people wins, and we find a bar or restaurant in Enschede to go with it.
You only pay once the date and venue are fixed. The address is in the email, so you can plan your drive or train.
From the rest of Twente
Hengelo and Borne
About twenty minutes by car, a few stops by train.
Oldenzaal
Around twenty minutes, even shorter from the south side.
Almelo
Half an hour by road, or by train via Hengelo.
Haaksbergen and surrounding area
Half an hour to three quarters of an hour, depending on where you come from.
How the evening runs
Check in with a welcome drink, eight conversations of about ten minutes, and chatting afterwards at the bar. Allow a few hours for the evening plus your travel time.
Who is it for?
Singles aged 20 to 45 from across the region. Within that group we work with age categories, so the tables match in age.
What does it cost?
€15 per person, including your welcome drink. Signing up is free and you only pay once the evening is final.
Why one town
If we split the same sign-ups across Hengelo, Almelo and Enschede, you would be left with three half evenings where the age mix no longer works. As it is, everyone travels a little and there is one evening with a balanced group.
If you live in Enschede itself, there is more about the venue and the area on speed dating in Enschede.
Good to know
Where in Twente are the evenings held?+
In Enschede, at a bar or restaurant in the centre. One fixed town keeps the group together, because spread over three towns you would be left with three half evenings.
How long is the journey from where I live?+
From Hengelo and Borne about twenty minutes, from Oldenzaal around twenty, from Almelo and Haaksbergen half an hour to three quarters of an hour. By train, Enschede is a few stops away and the centre is within walking distance of the station.
Do people come from the whole region?+
Yes, from Enschede and the towns around it. We group the evening by age category rather than by place of residence, so you will be sitting with a mix of people.
How do I sign up?+
Use the form on this page. It costs nothing and you're under no obligation. If there are enough sign-ups within an age category, everyone who has signed up receives a few possible dates, and the evening with the most votes is the one that goes ahead.
How do I know if there is a match?+
On your match card you fill in who you'd like to talk to again. If there's a mutual match, you'll get the contact details within 3 working days. If it's one-sided, nobody hears anything.
