Met @ Dinner is for people who would rather meet one person worth knowing than scroll past a hundred who aren't. WHO YOU'D SIT WITH Choose up to five dining rooms — the things you'd actually talk about across a table. Live Music. Outdoor Adventurers. Faith & Christian Dating. Wine Aficionados. Foodies & Cooking. Country Music. Fitness Enthusiasts. Travel, Art & Culture. Afterwork & Entrepreneurs. New to Town. We look in your rooms first. When we've been through them, we widen to everyone in LA rather than leave you with nobody. READ THE WHOLE PERSON There is no endless feed here, and no flinging cards away. You read someone's profile — their photos, their answers, where they're from and what they're into — and the decision sits at the bottom of it, where a decision belongs. Heart for yes. Cross to pass. Fifteen a day, free. Enough to be thoughtful about it. DATING AND FRIENDS, KEPT SEPARATE Matches has two sides, because they are two different things. Romantic conversations open when you both say yes. Friends is its own tab, with its own introductions. Turn on Friend Finder and we'll introduce you to one person at a time — same gender, shared interests, here to make friends rather than dates. You both have to say yes before anything opens. Nothing changes on the romantic side. WHO ALREADY LIKES YOU Every yes lands in one place. The number is always free. MET @ DINNER + - See who likes you — every person who said yes, by name - Unlimited likes — fifteen a day becomes as many as you want - Take back a mistake — undo a pass you didn't mean - Shown more often — you come up nearer the front of other people's decks Weekly, monthly and three-month plans. Cancel any time. BUILT TO BE LEFT Pause your profile whenever you like — nobody is shown to you, and you're shown to nobody, and your profile stays exactly as it is. Block and report from any profile or conversation. Verify yourself so other people know you're real. Delete your account, and everything with it, from Settings. Los Angeles first. More cities as there are enough people in them to be worth opening. You must be 18 or older to use Met @ Dinner. Met @ Dinner + is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. It renews unless turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends, and you can manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.
