It is a clever way to meet Japanese women
Are you hoping to meet a Japanese woman for a serious relationship?
Perhaps you have been interested in Japanese culture for many years.
Perhaps you have dated Japanese women before.
Or perhaps you simply feel that you would like to build your future with someone from Japan.
If you are looking for more than casual dating and genuinely hope to meet a Japanese woman for a meaningful, long-term relationship, we have some exciting news.
OZMATCH Online Speed Dating is back!
Following the success of our event in May, we will be holding our next Online Speed Dating Event on Saturday, August 29, 2026.
Registration for Japanese women has already reached capacity.
We are now accepting registrations from male OZMATCH members.
Meet Japanese women who are serious about finding a partner
There are many ways to meet Japanese women today.
Dating apps. Social media. Dating websites.
You may exchange messages with someone for days or weeks before discovering that you are looking for completely different things.
OZMATCH is different.
The Japanese women who join our matchmaking service are looking for meaningful relationships.
And the purpose of our Online Speed Dating Event is not to see how many women you can meet in one evening.
It is to give you the opportunity to actually talk with Japanese women who are also thinking seriously about their future.
During the event, you will meet each woman individually in a private online room.
You will have seven minutes together before moving on to meet the next participant.
Seven minutes may sound short. But sometimes seven minutes is enough to think: “I’d like to talk with her again.”
Before you register: please check the age group
This is particularly important for this event.
Japanese female participants: 40–50
Male participants: 45–59
The Japanese women currently participating are predominantly in their 40s, with one participant aged 50.
Therefore, if your goal is specifically to date or meet Japanese women in their 30s, this particular event is not the right event for you.
We would much rather tell you this clearly before you register than have you participate with expectations that this event cannot meet.
However, if you are genuinely open to meeting Japanese women in their 40s and early 50s, this may be a wonderful opportunity.
Age tells you one thing about a person. A conversation can tell you much more.
Meeting a Japanese woman is different from reading her profile
A dating or matchmaking profile can tell you: her age, her occupation, where she lives, her hobbies, whether she would consider living overseas.
But a profile cannot show you everything.
How does she smile when she talks about something she loves? Does she make you laugh? Does conversation flow naturally? Do you feel comfortable talking with her? Does she listen with genuine interest?
And when those seven minutes finish, do you find yourself wishing you had another seven?
These are things you can only discover by actually talking to someone.
That is why OZMATCH continues to hold events where Japanese women and men who are interested in serious relationships can meet face-to-face online.
Sometimes the woman you notice isn’t the woman you expected
This is something I have seen many times through OZMATCH.
A man reads a Japanese woman’s profile and thinks: “She probably isn’t my type.”
Then he meets her. They talk. They laugh.
And suddenly the profile doesn’t seem so important anymore.
The opposite can happen too.
Someone may appear perfect on paper, but when you actually talk, something simply doesn’t feel right.
Neither experience is a failure.
That is what dating and matchmaking are about.
You are not looking for the perfect profile. You are looking for the right person.
What did men say after our previous event?
The event was great and all the ladies were awesome
It was great. Everyone was nervous at the beginning but after each session, everyone became more relaxed.
Misao and Sean both did an excellent job running it and getting everyone relaxed with the questions.
The time for each session was great and during each session I basically talked with each female as a conversation and not as a “this is all about me”.
I found it made everyone I interacted with more comfortable and also gave them opportunities to ask questions.
I must say that all the ladies were awesome and that it must’ve been difficult for some of them as English is not their first language.
If you asked me to speak in Japanese, I would be an absolute mess.
Thank you Misao and Sean for making it relaxing and comfortable and I’d say that my humour is similar to your partners.
7 minutes was a good enough length to get a feel for each other
It was good to have the timer box counting down and also to have the warning 1 minute from the cutoff.
I only wish we had had a bit longer, like 10 minutes.
Almost all conversations had to be ended before we could answer each other’s questions fully.
But I guess I may be more talkative than most people and 7 minutes was a good enough length to get a feel for each other.
Managed well, quite a pleasant and comfortable environment
Thank you Misao. It was managed very well, quite a pleasant and comfortable environment.
I also enjoyed the interactions with you and your husband.
Real conversations are very different from browsing dating profiles.
Sometimes one conversation is all it takes to see someone differently.
Around 40% of OZMATCH married couples first met through an event
This is one of the reasons events have always been an important part of OZMATCH.
Around 40% of couples who have married through OZMATCH first met through one of our events.
The couple in this photo met through OZMATCH online speed dating event, went on a formal OMIAI after the event, and became engaged within two months.
They now have an adorable one-year-old son.
Of course, that does not mean that attending an event guarantees you will meet your future wife.
There are no guarantees in dating or matchmaking.
You may meet a Japanese woman you would like to know better.
You may meet several.
Or you may discover that none of the women at this particular event feels right for you.
All of those outcomes are perfectly fine.
Because the purpose of the event is to create an opportunity that did not exist before you joined.
What happens if you like one of the Japanese women you meet?
After the event, both the male and female participants submit feedback privately to OZMATCH.
If you meet a woman and think, “I would like to know her better,” you can give us her OZMATCH profile name.
If she also selects you, we will let you know that you have matched.
However, there is one important point to understand.
A match does not automatically mean that you will have an OMIAI or private date together.
A match simply means that both of you have indicated: “I would like to know this person a little better.”
Moving forward to an OMIAI requires both people to be active OZMATCH Executive Members.
We want this to be clear before you participate.
OZMATCH Online Speed Dating is the beginning of a possible connection, not a guarantee of what happens next.
We will help you prepare before meeting the women
If you have never participated in online speed dating before, don’t worry.
Before the event, I will send you nine Step Emails to help you prepare.
We will cover:
- How to prepare Zoom
- Camera position
- Lighting
- Your background
- What to wear
- How to prepare a one-minute introduction
- How to make the most of your seven-minute conversations
You do not need to be an expert at dating.
You do not need to impress every woman.
You simply need to arrive prepared, be yourself, and show genuine interest in the woman you are talking with.
