## What is Friends?

With Friends, you're able to tell us what you're interested in, and we'll set up matches with those same interests!

When you get matched, you have 24 hours to tell us whether you want to stay connected to your match. If either you or your match doesn't say yes, the connection will disappear! If you both say yes, you'll stay permanently connected, unless you want to manually remove the connection, of course.

Once connected, you're able to send messages, or hop into a video room exclusively for both of you, where you can video chat to get to know each other!
