Consider Elixir. Elixir is a 27 year old native Melbournite who, 17 months ago, split up with her fiancé, “Steven” a media lawyer and boyfriend of 7 years. After coming to terms with the grief and the shock of trying to enter the singles scene in Melbourne, Elexi felt like she had missed her chance at happiness. “I used to sit there alone on a Friday and Saturday night alone, as most of my friends were married or moved interstate. It was horrendous, not only that, but trying to break into any social scene felt plain strange…..I was in no-mans land for months “. One of her girlfriends referred her to one of Melbourne’s speed dating services and after 3 Saturday nights worth of fun and games, she met Colin. “The service emailed me the following day with Colin’s contact details and I was pretty excited, we had the same hobbies, political sensibilities and taste in music, I was so excited when the agency told me he had reciprocated my interest.
Elexi and Colin are now engaged and have been living together for 5 months. “I knew she was a fantastic person as soon as we sat down at the table together. I was pretty cynical of the whole speed dating scenario at first” Colin remembers. “I was there to support a mate, but I was the one that got lucky, so there you go, I’m really really happy”
It’s definitely worth a go. You never know what you will find. And if speed dating in Melbourne isn’t your thing, there are endless options available. Try posting a personal ad on the Gumtree personals page. One of the biggest free personals sites in Australia and the UK, you can initiate contact with others and screen incoming contacts. Sort your searches by “missed connections”, guys seeking girls, girls seeking guys, casual relationships, and desperately seeking. A widely used dating service, Gumtree is highly popular in that it’s free and you can post as many times a day as you like.
