One coffee at a time
How we look after everyone's time: one introduction at a time, and if life gets busy, we wait for you.
Updated November 6, 2026
One introduction at a time, so each person gets your full attention and nobody's left waiting. After a coffee, we'll ask how it went before we introduce you to someone new. If life gets busy, we'll wait for you. And no is always a welcome answer.
One at a time
- While an introduction is waiting on your answer, we won't line up the next one. Your next introduction will be waiting once you've answered.
- Said yes to two coffees that don't have a time yet? Lovely. Once one has a time, we'll bring you someone new.
- "Not this time" is always a good answer. It lets the other person know where things stand, and it never counts against you.
If an introduction closes before you reply
Busy weeks happen. We close the introduction so the other person isn't left waiting, and we wait for you before introducing anyone new. There's no catching up to do: when you're ready, select "I'm ready for coffee" on your Home and we'll start finding people for you again.
If it happens a couple of times close together, we'll simply check that you'd still like introductions. If it looks like a full season, we'll give you some breathing room for a few weeks, then check in to see if you'd like to pick up again.
What never counts
- Saying no, or "not this time".
- An introduction that closed while you were taking a break.
- One we couldn't get to you, or one the other person cancelled.
A coffee that happens clears it all. Other members are never told, and your hosts only see that you're taking a break, never why.
Need a proper break?
You can pause introductions any time in Taking a break. Nothing you have changes, and you pick up again whenever you like.
