Nobody likes going first

A first meeting with a stranger is an interview. You sit across from someone, you perform, you both decide whether to keep performing.

Pairo matches pairs of friends. Two of you, two of them. It's a hangout, not an interview — and if the night goes somewhere, it goes somewhere. If it doesn't, you still went out with your friend.

How it works

1. Add your friendsYour profile shows who you can bring. Not a fixed pair — anyone who's in.
2. Scroll the feedNo swiping left and right. You look at people, and you look at who they can bring.
3. Ask for a PairoAll four people have to say yes. One no and it doesn't happen. No pressure, no half-agreement.
4. The chat opensFour of you, making an actual plan. Pick the spot, vote on it, go.

Built with the obvious problems in mind

Meeting strangers has real risks, and a dating app that pretends otherwise isn't worth using.

• Share your plans — send where you're going and who you're with to someone you trust, before you leave.
• Check in — set a time. Miss it and your person gets told.
• Block is absolute — a blocked person disappears from your feed, from friend lists, from search. Both directions.
• Report from anywhere — every screen. Reports about someone looking underage go to the front of the queue, ahead of everything else.
