When life gets busy and there are a million things on your mind, it can be hard to prioritize dating, and to set time aside to get to know new people. This new game within the Bumble app is live every Thursday from 7pm to 8pm in your time zone.
It gives you the chance to be paired at random with a fellow dater who you can chat to for up to three minutes before moving on to the next person just like speed dating IRL! This means you can get straight to the chat and have conversations in real time. The twist? Putting conversation first can lead you to exciting new connections with folks who may not have caught your eye otherwise!
Read on to find out more about how Speed Dating works, how to sign up, and a few tips on getting the banter flowing in under three minutes! Click the tick for yes, and the cross for no.
Note that both players have to like each other when the three minutes are up for it to be a match. Speed Dating may be a different way of finding connections on Bumble, but the expectations of kindness and respect still stand.
Your safety is always paramount on Bumble, and this applies to Speed Dating too. If you feel uncomfortable or unsafe, you can Block and Report the player from within the chat at any time, using the three dots icon in the top right corner of the screen.
