Whether you're new to the dating scene or you've heard every pick up line in the book, the new wave of singles events flooding our shores are a sure fire way to turn your fortunes around. Far more than mere matchmaking nights for the socially challenged, these high-profile events attract a calibre of confident, fun-loving ladies and gentlemen in search of a more creative way to meet their match. Whatever your interests, tastes or desires, chances are there are several speed dating companies that have prepared some events for people exactly like you. Here's just a sample of what we've seen on offer so far...

Speed Dating
If you thought Speed Dating bit the dust back in 2002, you couldn't be more wrong. These days it's more popular and personalised than ever before, with specialist companies holding 100's of events across the country every single moth. To make sure you've got even more chance of matching up with someone you like, every invitee's details and preferences are cross-checked with other potential partners before the big night. Only the most compatibale candidates get invited to each event, so it's much less of a shot in the dark than you might think. It's also a lot less scary. Once you've chatted to your first single and had your first drink, the night will fly by... and you could have collected ten new phone numbers by the end of it!

Supper Club
For those of you with a more refined palate, a night at the Super Club could be the perfect dish to serve the senses. Held in a relaxed environment stuffed with like-minded singles, you'll get to enjoy the company of nine new faces of the opposite sex over a sumptuous three-course meal. The menu for the evening is simplicity itself: your entrée begins at a table with three men and three ladies. Your appetite whet, the gentlemen move on to the next table. After main course, it’s time to swap again as you join three fresh faces for desert. With all that fine food and fine company on offer, chances are you might even have company for coffee when you get home.

Party time
If you find intimate gatherings a little intimidating, then maybe a mega-sized singles party will be more up your alley. Every few months you'll find somebody's sending out invites for a party where 100's... even 1000's of love-starved singles will be gathered together for a good time. The annual Xmas parties are always winners, but more specialist affairs centered around Twenty 20 cricket, racing days and other events menas there'll be plenty to hang out for in 2008.

Special interest
Tall men, Asian women, people in uniforms - whatever your particular fancy you can bet somebody has gone to the trouble of hosting a singles night on just that theme. Seriously, we've seen invites for just about everything you can think of pop into our inbox this year and we can only imagine what might be lurking around the corner. So all you Go-getters, Globetrotters, Toy Boys and Poker Players be warned - attending one of these specialist events could seriously damage your single status!
