Why people use Nearmate to find someone for a coffee chat in Delhi
Delhi runs on routines. If you can find one or two people whose routine overlaps with yours by even an hour a day, you've found a casual professional meetup for the long haul. Nearmate is structured around that idea — you tell it when and where you're typically free, and it shows you others with overlapping availability nearby. That's the entire pitch: a sharper signal in a city that's already full of potential matches you just can't see.

Tips for your first meet
A few things people in Delhi tend to find useful when they meet someone through Nearmate for the first time:
- Pick a public, daytime spot — one of the cafés or parks listed above is a safe default.
- Keep the first meet short. 30–45 minutes is plenty to decide if you want to do this again.
- Be specific about what you're up for. 'Hitting on weekday mornings' lands better than 'tennis sometime.'
- Don't share private contact info before the first meet. Use the in-app chat until you've actually met.
- If the vibe doesn't match, it's fine to say so politely. Both sides save time.
