They also won’t be people you’ve interacted with before on Bumble. Putting conversation first can lead you to exciting new connections with folks who may not have caught your eye otherwise! But don’t worry, the daters you’ll be paired with will all match your gender and age preferences, and they’ll be playing in the same city or town as you. The twist? You won’t be able to see what your Speed Dating matches look like-or their Bumble profile-while you’re messaging. This means you can get straight to the chat and have conversations in real time.
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 new game within the Bumble app is live every Thursday from 7pm to 8pm in your time zone.
That’s where Bumble’s Speed Dating game comes in. 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.
