Short pieces from the Grouping team — not fictional success stories.
Longer notes on crews, votes, and first plans.
Friend groups meet other friend groups, instead of two strangers deciding a private first date alone.
A double date assumes two pairs. A group date is how two crews meet before anyone has paired off.
Sit with your own friends first, name a public plan, then meet another house that voted yes.
Pick a public plan your own friends would already do, with a start time and a way to leave.
Ask friends who will really show up, agree on a plan, and only then look for another house.
A swipe is a nomination. The crew votes, a veto can stop it, and chat waits for a mutual yes.
You arrive with friends, chat stays closed until both crews match, and leaving does not mean leaving alone.
Every face, a crew name, a neighborhood, and three interests you actually share.
An app where the account that matches is a crew, not one person performing alone.
Bring the friends who will show up, name one public plan, and meet another crew that voted yes.
Use the shared plan as the topic. Save the personal interview for a second meeting, if there is one.
Agree on the end time before you arrive, then leave with the friends who brought you.
Be the crew you advertised, include the quiet people, and keep the ending you agreed to.
You are ready when the people, the photos, and the plan would still be true on the night itself.
Pick something you would do with your own friends: a morning hike, a gallery hour, a cooking class, a board-game cafe, a market walk, a rooftop coffee, a beginner climb, a picnic, a comedy show, or a Sunday run. The point of Grouping is a public, shared plan — not a private 1:1 interrogation.
You arrive with people who already know you. Chat stays locked until both groups match. A single veto can stop a meetup your friends are uneasy about. Reporting and blocking are still being finished in the app; until then, leave and tell us at support@groupingokon.com.
Show every face. Name the crew. List three real interests, a neighborhood, and the kind of plan you want this month. Skip bios that only one person wrote. If your group cannot agree on the photos, you will not agree on a match.
A swipe is a nomination. Your friends vote. Majority yes plus no veto becomes a match, and only then does the group thread open. That is the product: fewer awkward DMs, more plans that everyone already approved.
