How It Works
Get from match to meeting in days, not weeks. Here's how Chem IRL makes it happen.
Like to Match
Browse profiles and swipe right on people you'd like to meet.
When you both like each other, you match instantly. Our discovery feed shows you people based on your preferences and proximity — no algorithms hiding profiles behind paywalls.
Propose 2–3 Times
Once matched, propose exactly 2–3 specific meeting times within the next 7 days.
Pick a date type — coffee, drinks, a walk — and add a one-line note. Structured proposals eliminate the “so what are you up to this weekend” back-and-forth that kills momentum.
They Confirm
Your match taps to confirm one of your proposed times, or counters with 2–3 alternatives.
Proposals expire after 72 hours. No response? The match moves on. This keeps things moving and respects everyone’s time. No ghosting into oblivion.
Meet & Mark
Chat unlocks once a time is confirmed. Meet in person. Mark that you went.
After meeting, both people mark whether the date happened. Your Speed score reflects how often you follow through — better scores mean better visibility in discovery.
What Makes Us Different
72-Hour Rule
Proposals expire in 72 hours. No endless texting. No ghosting into oblivion. Either you meet or you move on.
Structured Proposals
Exactly 2–3 times within 7 days. No vague “maybe this weekend” plans. Specificity creates commitment.
Receiver-Paid Reopen
Expired? The receiver can reopen with credits and propose their own times. A fair system that rewards action.
