If you were one of the 50,000 people who took part in Veganuary this year, and kept up with your promise to avoid all animal products, you’ve probably found that your choice of like-minded matches on Tinder has significantly shrunk.

That’s where SpeedDater comes in. It has started up London’s first vegan dating platform to meet singles in the city who are on the same page as you.

Here are three reasons why you should give it a go….

1. Because you won’t have to worry about the menu

Luckily these days, vegan food is delicious and varied, and none more so than in London. SpeedDater will be hosting the events in the best vegan restaurants across the capital, with not an ounce of meat to be ordered on the menu. The first will be held at Tibits - the small Swiss chain is essentially a pimped-up salad bar with exclusively vegan dishes on tap.

2. Because you can meet like-minded people

SpeedDater set up the event in response to the growing number of Londoners embracing a vegan diet and looking to meet like-minded people. According to The Vegan Society, the number of vegans in the UK has doubled in the last nine years from 150,000 to around 300,000 - which means there are more single vegans than ever.

So unlike other dating events in the capital, you can skip on having to explain why you don’t fancy tucking into a steak on your first date.

3. Because it’s quick

The whole concept is based around speed dating so you can meet lots of new people in one night. When you arrive, the host will welcome you and sign you in. Your badge will match a table in the room and usually the ladies stay seated while the men rotate about every 4 minutes when the buzzer rings. You will have a card to mark down if you are interested in your dates. It’s as easy as that.

So if kissing a meat eater fills you with fear, it’s time to ditch Tinder and sign yourself up.
