Before the Dating Begins

The Warm Up
with Coach John

Most people walk into speed dating nervous and unsure what to say. The Warm Up changes that. In 20 minutes, Coach John gives you the tools to walk in confident, relaxed, and genuinely yourself.

  • Why most first impressions fail — and what to do instead
  • How to have a real conversation, not just small talk
  • Reading genuine chemistry vs polite conversation
  • The one thing to do tonight that changes everything

Questions

Frequently Asked

Do I need to bring anything?
Just yourself. Your ticket will be on the door. We handle everything else — the venue, the format, the matching. All you need to do is show up and be present.
What if I come alone?
Almost everyone does. That's the point. Twelve is designed so that walking in alone feels completely natural — you're there to meet people, and so is everyone else.
How does the matching work?
During the event you'll have a card to note who you'd like to see again. After the evening, if two people have both marked each other, we email them both within 24 hours. No public announcements, no awkwardness — completely private.
What is The Warm Up exactly?
A 20-minute coaching session with Coach John before the dating begins. He covers first impressions, real conversation, reading genuine chemistry, and one practical thing to do that night. It's included in the £30 Premium ticket or available as a £7 add-on.
What happens if I arrive late?
Standard ticket holders must arrive by 6:45pm. Once the rounds begin at 7:00pm we cannot admit late arrivals as it disrupts the experience for everyone. Please plan to arrive on time.
Is there a dress code?
No strict dress code — but smart casual is the vibe. Think first date energy. You want to feel good about yourself when you walk in.
