FastLife, the world's largest speed dating service, will host simultaneous events in cities around the globe, including London, Sydney, Toronto and New York.

Over 2,500 singles will be participating in events around the world on Thursday 14th February to enjoy dating in the fast lane. Each speed dater has the chance to meet 20 other singles in a series of three minute dates, and with 19 events around the world, FastLife is confident that a new Guinness World Record(TM) for the "world's biggest speed date" will be set.

The Guinness(TM) regulations require that each of the events occur at exactly the same time. This will see the New York and Toronto events taking place at downtown lounge bars at 3am, the London event at a coffee shop at 8am and the Sydney event on the beach at 7pm.

Justin Parfitt, FastLife's CEO and founder, commented, "We are super excited to offer a world first dating event, and thousands of FastLife members are embracing the chance to celebrate singledom on Valentine's Day.

FastLife guarantees that all singles attending our record breaking speed dating events on Valentine's Day will receive a first-rate service and leave having taken part in a thrilling, once in a lifetime experience."

FastLife is promoting the events as a chance for singles to celebrate their single status, get dressed up, get their friends together and head out for a night of fun and frivolity.

"Forget staying home or feeling down about not going out for a candlelit dinner on Valentines Day. This year it will be singles, not happy couples, who will be celebrating well into the night!" said Parfitt. "With over 2,500 singles participating, we're expecting lots of sparks to fly this Valentine's."
