How matching works in Delhi
Open Nearmate and set your location to Delhi. Pick your chosen activity from your current intents. You'll see a map of people nearby who are also up for it, with masked profiles and approximate distance. Send a short intro to one or two that look interesting. If they accept, you swap a meeting time and a public spot. That's the entire flow — no scheduled rounds, no algorithmic gating, no premium tier required to send the first message.
Tips for your first meet
If this is your first Nearmate meet in Delhi, these small habits make the experience noticeably better:
- 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.
