First time doing something like this. Was nervous but once the first two convos were out the way it just felt normal. The app texts you a new date to meet every 5ish mins so it was about 10 chats and one already messaged me that night. Even the guys I didnโ€™t click with were nice so it was fun.

You see the ads and Iโ€™ve been to other events and over swiping and working from home so I went last night, felt a bit nervous and one of the guys was weird but made some nice girlfriends.

Went Friday night with a couple of friends, we all signed up for a laugh. Honestly didnโ€™t think much would come of it but it was actually a good night. The app just told you who to meet, super easy. Some convos dragged but most were decent, I matched with 1 girl and weโ€™re grabbing a drink next week. It was nice to stick around with a couple of the guys for beers after so it was a fun night either way.

Not gonna lie, I thought this was gonna be cringe. Signed up last minute cause I do want to make more firends & networking is always good. You just turn up, and it just told me who to meet and when to move. Out of 11 convos, 3 were really fun so it's just a way to get out and meet new people

I was pretty skeptical going in but ended up having a good time. Felt more natural than I expected so I'd probably be back for another one.

My friend sent me tickets cause I'm tired of sitting home after my last breakup. You actually meet people, laugh, and just get out of the house for a bit which is always good
