Twenty seconds, give or take
Start Talking in Seconds
No introduction to write. No bio to agonise over. No opener to send into a void. Talking online here means being in a live conversation before you have finished deciding to have one.
Four things you do not have to do
Every one of them is a reason people never get around to talking to anybody.
Introduce yourself
The match is the introduction. You are already both there.
Be interesting first
Ask instead. Curiosity does more work than charm ever has.
Wait for a reply
Nothing here is asynchronous. The answer arrives while you are still looking at them.
Explain why you left
Skip exists precisely so nobody has to write "sorry, gtg".
Twenty seconds, in order
Confirm you are 18 or over
One tap, once per device.
Allow camera and microphone
The browser asks. Say yes, or nothing can happen.
You are matched
One person, live, right there.
Quick answers
How fast can I actually be talking to someone?
About twenty seconds from opening the page: confirm you are 18, allow the camera, get matched.
Do I need to write a profile first?
No. There is nothing to fill in before your first conversation.
Is talking online awkward?
The first ten seconds, always. After that it is the same as any conversation — and unlike real life, leaving costs nothing.
Can I do this on my phone?
Yes, in the mobile browser. Hold the phone at eye level and find a light source in front of you rather than behind.
