The Beauty of Group Dinner Dating

By Dee, 30 January, 2025.

We recently came across a fantastic article by Lucia Frazzetto in The Age/SMH (January 29th, 2025), titled “I Dated a Dozen Guys Last Year. It Didn’t Work Out But I Have No Complaints”. 

It’s a refreshingly honest and funny take on dating. One that perfectly aligns with what we see at A Table for Six.

Lucia’s piece highlights something we truly believe: dating isn’t just about finding The One at your very first date.  

Dating is about meeting new people, having interesting conversations, and stepping outside your comfort zone.  It's about creating new networks and more opportunities that can lead you to meeting a partner.  

Along the way you’ll have fun, build confidence and potentially meet The One!  We hear from couples who met at their 1st dinner, their 4th dinner and their 6th dinner with us.

Like Lucia, who went on 12 dates (she found through a dating app), our VIP members at A Table for Six also have the chance to meet a dozen or more potential matches over the course of a year.  Except we do all the hard work organising for you! 

No swiping, no catfishing, no weird texts, no sitting solo at a bar waiting and wondering  - just a dinner date planned for you with a small group of genuine singles, good food, great company, and the chance to see where the conversation leads.

Who Will You Meet at A Table for Six?

Lucia humorously recalled the different “types” of dates she encountered - some unforgettable (Mr. Comedian Extraordinaire) and some memorable for all the wrong reasons (Mr. All Looks, No Conversation). 

At our dinners, you’ll meet a variety of people too, but the beauty of a group setting is that there’s less pressure, more conversation, and a higher chance of finding a spark, or at least a new friend or partner. 

Will you meet…

  • Ms/Mr Quick-Witted - Can turn any awkward silence into a moment of laughter. 
  • Ms/Mr Optimist - Always finds the silver lining and is upbeat! 
  • Ms/Mr Genuine - Is genuine and authentic. 
  • Ms/Mr Great Listener - Listens and asks thoughtful follow-up questions.
  • Ms/Mr Storyteller - Has the best travel stories, funniest work mishaps, and most engaging way of telling them.
  • Ms/Mr Grace Under Pressure - Stays calm and charming even when an order is late or a drink is spilt. 
  • Ms/Mr Curious Explorer - Genuinely interested in learning about people, places, and new experiences.
  • Ms/Mr Down-to-Earth - Is honest and straightforward in their approach to life. 
  • Ms/Mr Travel Bug – Has at least three upcoming trips booked and knows where to find the best flight deals. 

The Beauty of Group Dating

Lucia wrote about how stepping outside her social bubble and meeting people from different walks of life helped her grow. That’s what makes A Table for Six so special!  

Our members come from a range of professions, nationalities and backgrounds - you’re guaranteed a mix of perspectives, which makes for engaging dinner conversations (and maybe even some post-dinner drinks if the vibe is right). 

The Best Part? We Do All the Organising. 

Unlike Lucia, who had to schedule, plan, and coordinate each of her individual dates, A Table for Six takes care of all that for you.  

We book the restaurant and arrange a table of 6 singles (3 men + 3 women). All you have to do is show up and enjoy the experience. 

When was the last time you were invited to a dinner party with equal numbers of men and women, where every guest was single and there with the right intentions?

No ghosting, no sitting solo staring at your phone, no awkward silences with 1 person - just a relaxed evening with a great group of singles. 

If you’re looking to date in a way that’s fun, stress-free, and, most importantly, enjoyable - why not give A Table for Six a go? Like Lucia, we hope that you walk away with new stories, new friends, and maybe even your special someone. 

Don’t miss your opportunity to meet a great range of singles during the next 12 months.
