  • I Had a great time at this event. If you’ve never been, it’s definitely worth heading to. Went to the one in Melbourne CBD.

  • I was at a birthday dinner and asked a girl how she met my friend. She said at a Timeleft dinner! I had never heard of the app, but I decided to give it a go. I have been to two dinners so far and plan to go to more…
