How It Works — String

Matches are capped at ten. When you connect with someone, they have your real attention, not a place in an infinite queue.

Every match expires in fourteen days. The deadline isn't pressure. It's permission to skip weeks of small talk and make a plan.

From the moment you connect, String suggests a venue near you both and a few times that work. You two agree on one.

Confirm the venue and time in a tap. That's where our job ends and the actual date begins.

Why the constraints

The limits are the feature.

A 10-match cap makes every match a decision, not a collection.
A 10-like daily cap makes every like a decision, not a reflex.
A 14-day expiry creates momentum. Matches become dates or make room.
A confirmed venue removes the "we should get drinks sometime" limbo.
Venues mean every first date lands at a real Chicago venue, not a random pin.
