## What is OtterFriend?

OtterFriend is dating built around real plans — not endless texting.

Most dating apps leave you stuck in chat threads that never turn into a date. On OtterFriend, every match starts with an actual plan: a day, a time, and a curated place already picked. Browse open dates near you, answer the host's icebreaker, and meet in person this week.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Find a plan or post your own. Browse dates and activities around the city — or host one at a spot you love.
2. Answer the icebreaker. Skip generic pickup lines. Show your personality with a real answer to the host's prompt.
3. Meet at the venue. Once the host accepts, chat unlocks so you can coordinate. Show up and enjoy the date.

BUILT DIFFERENT
• Definite plans, not maybe-laters. Every date comes with a time window, a venue, and a clear vibe.
• Curated partner venues. Natural wine bars, pottery studios, quiet cafés, museums, and rooftops — handpicked for good conversation and welcoming staff.
• Transparent expectations. See what the host is looking for and who's treating before you apply.
• Icebreakers over small talk. A fun prompt beats "hey" every time.

ALREADY OUT? TAP HERE
Check in at a partner venue and see who else is around. Wave to share a table. Here uses on-demand location only when you open the tab — no background tracking.

YOUR OTTER TICKET
After you match, everything lives in one place: your digital pass, venue map, directions, event chat, and safety tools. Report, block, or get help whenever you need it.

BUILT FOR SAFETY
Dates happen in public, verified partner venues. Your exact location is never shared until you match, and you stay in control of what's visible.

OtterFriend is for adults 18 and over. Meet in public, tell a friend where you're going, and have fun.

Download OtterFriend and stop texting — go on the date.
