Timeleft reviews from people who showed up

• I did my first TimeLeft dinner on May 2024. I met an incredible group of people who are now my best friends for about one year and half. 🫶🏼

• I was lucky enough to discover Timeleft right before moving to a new city, and I knew it could be a great way to learn the landscape, discover new places to eat, and hopefully meet people who could help me feel more connected to my new home. It completely exceeded my expectations. … My weekends are now packed with plans, I’m constantly meeting new people through people I’ve already met, and I genuinely feel like I’ve built a community here. Timeleft made my transition to a new city smoother, more welcoming, and honestly more fun than I ever could have expected.

• As an introvert in a new city, I’ve been looking for ways to meet new people — a daunting and nerve-racking task. A friend recommended Timeleft, and although I was very apprehensive and even considered backing out on the day of, I’m so glad I went! I ended up having a great meal with four wonderful people — all repeat diners — who made me feel incredibly welcome. Some of us connected after dinner and plan to meet again. I’ve already scheduled my next dinner!

• Being new to Dallas I wanted to meet people and experience different restaurants. I was not looking to date. Somewhat hesitant, I attended the first dinner and ended up having a great time. I am 77 years old. … I now look forward to every Wednesday. … I have been in touch throughout the week with a few women I have met at Timeleft, going to the symphony , having lunch , playing pickle ball. It takes guts to go the first time, but I am glad I did.

• 

• I joined about six months ago because I had just moved to a new city and didn’t know anyone. I found that it’s a wonderful way to meet people and have an enjoyable evening. I think what I like best is that everyone attending is there to meet new people. … I’m sure that other tables around us at the restaurants assume that we’re a bunch of old friends the way everyone is talking and laughing and getting along. In reality, everyone was a complete stranger only a couple of hours before.

• I’ve found making friends as an adult much tougher than as a kid! … I’m mid-60s and fairly introverted, but I still want to connect with people. When I found TimeLeft, I loved the concept right away, and decided to give it a shot. I’ve been to 2 dinners this month, and both were a lot of fun! I’ve met 11 people so far, had a chance to try a couple of restaurants I hadn’t been to before (both really good!), and I’m having dinner this weekend with someone I clicked with (platonically).

• if you’re new to a city or looking to make new friends, it can be REALLY hard to start from zero. this was my first time in this situation in my mid 30s … timeleft takes all the sting out of that first step by grouping you with other people who WANT to meet people. I went to a women-only dinner with a fun/interesting mix of people around my age, and by the end of the night we had set up a group chat and made plans together for the weekend. … I’m so grateful to this app for allowing me to settle into my new home with a safe space to socialize!🩷

• What’s great about meeting people this way is that since it’s not a dating app, it creates a low pressure environment for meeting new people. What makes it comfortable is that usually everyone is new and/or wanting to meet new people. So since we are all there for that purpose, it removes a lot of the awkwardness.

• Timeleft has become my go-to way of meeting new people in Singapore without the pressure of big-crowd networking. The dinners are kept to small tables, so conversations feel natural even if you’re on the shy side (like me!).

• I really enjoyed Timeleft's women-only dinner (Miami)!!! The restaurant was yummy and I got to meet 3 wonderful gals from different parts of the world: Russia, Peru and Haiti. We connected after the dinner via text and are heading to a sushi-making class in a few days. I look forward to the next women's dinner! Thank you Timeleft!

• I am not ready for one-on-one dating, but I wanted to socialize. I have been on 7 dinners and have met 25 people, with 8 “connections”. These are people that I feel comfortable with and are friends. … I have not one negative thing to say, I always look forward to the next dinner.

• I'm a life long introvert, with recognized confidence issues. … The group was all close in age (I am 58), everyone had a great sense of humor, and was pretty laid back. … The conversation never stopped. this was NOT a dating opportunity

• 

• I’ve used this app from Japan, Korea, Philippines, Vietnam, United States and London. This has been a great way to get connected with people in different places whether they are local or just visitors.

• Every week I try to go to a TimeLeft dinner, already from February 2025. It’s a great way to meet new friends but also to discover restaurants. Highly recommended!

• I had no idea what to expect when I showed up for my first dinner, and felt both nervous and a little anxious arriving at the restaurant. But it turned out to be an exceptionally fun and pleasant evening. … I came away with a new set of friends and will definitely be doing this again.

• I’m in my mid-50s and have had such a great time going to these dinners! I wasn’t quite sure what to expect at first, and of course, some dinners are better than others, but I’ve genuinely enjoyed every one. … I highly recommend giving it a try if you’re looking to meet new people, get out of the house, and discover some new restaurants along the way!

• I’ve only been to one dinner so far, but I already made a friend and we’ve hung out a handful of times since the dinner! The restaurant was nice and centrally located. My group was friendly and the time passed fairly quickly.

• I've been to 2 dinners and enjoyed everybody and the food. Already going for hikes with two of the others from the first dinner. Looking forward to more get together.

• As someone who tends to alternate between being invisible and dominating the conversion, Timeleft has been a good way to socially adjust to group situations, particularly post-pandemic.

• After 10+ dinners, I can confidently say I made friends and have extended my circle thanks to Timeleft! I came across very interesting personalities and kept in touch with several people!

• I really appreciated the selection of participants at the table: each of us had common points with the others that made conversation easy and enjoyable. … I had a very enjoyable time and I intend to keep meeting my new acquaintances outside of the organized dinners (mission accomplished 😊)

• I highly recommend this app to anyone new in town and looking to connect … The group was friendly, international and around the same age, which made conversations flow naturally.

• I had this on my radar for a while, and when I moved to a new city in Europe, I finally took a chance. It was worth it! The people in my group were very nice. There was zero awkward silence, and we actually connected later through the app to meet up again.

• I recently attended a Timeleft dinner in Mumbai and it turned out to be such a refreshing experience. … What I loved most was how natural the conversations felt; it wasn’t about networking or small talk, but about genuinely connecting over shared interests and curiosity. … It’s rare to find spaces where strangers come together and leave feeling like friends, but this was truly one of them.

• Great experience! I am a foreigner, living in Mexico City. I have made great friends and great stories that will last a lifetime. Super recommend, especially for those who are not in their own country.

• A great way to find connection in a city you don't know anyone yet. I love that this app puts you in touch with others who are also wanting to meet people and make friends IRL. I had a great time at my first dinner and have continued to hang out with some of the others. I also love that it self-selects for open, social, spontaneous, talkative, adventurous type people.

• I’ve been to about 12 Timeleft dinners. It’s been a great way to get to know Seattle and meet new people after moving here. …

• Making friends and building a network after loss of a spouse is hard work and daunting. Timeleft has helped me reach out safely to do this. I enjoy the weekly dinners and have met so many nice people I would never have met otherwise.

• I have participated in the timeleft dinners in Taichung city, Taiwan for approximately 15 times. I met lots of people and have conversations either superficial or deep. Besides, I built a few friendships with some members. In my opinion, people should communicate to each other face by face instead of using social media all day long. The timeleft offers people a precious chance to communicate practically. I will keep joining the timeleft dinners in the future!

• I Joined Timeleft in August 2024. As a recently divorced woman, I really liked the idea of meeting people over dinner. I was slightly nervous on my first dinner but did not need to be. I have been on nine dinners now and thoroughly enjoy the experience every single time. … You have made a huge difference in my life, and I am very grateful to you for connecting people over dinner and creating a community in so many places in the world.

• making new friends and connections has been difficult since Covid, not to mention that my work is remote, and I was very eager to get out there and start meeting people in REAL LIFE! … At first I was very nervous and speaking to a group of complete strangers didn't come naturally … But I kept going and I am at a point now that I really enjoy attending Timeleft dinners. The other benefit is, being thrust into situations where you have to interact with complete strangers builds confidence

• Amazing app time left im living in Hong Kong and meet so many new people really incredible even I’m from Italy after so many years I create some local friends ! Never happened

• Everything was really well organised, and it honestly felt like going to a friend’s dinner party where I ended up meeting a bunch of interesting, kind people. The vibe was super relaxed and welcoming.

• I’ve been on 3 Timeleft dinners so far. All of them have been a great experience. I was matched with people my age & it was such a great way to spend an evening out. The last dinner was the women’s only and made some great new friends. Go in with no expectations and just try to have fun!

• As a first-timer going into the meeting, I honestly thought, “It’ll be fine—we’re all adults.” But I left genuinely impressed by how much we can connect with complete strangers. I definitely felt that connection with the people around the table, and I truly feel that the app puts real effort into creating a compatible environment for everyone.

• There were 6 of us that met for dinner on a Wednesday night. Interesting, friendly, chill people. The vibrant conversation flowed all evening, we all said what a great night it had been + we hope to all catch up again for a coffee + chat soon!

• My first time left experience was in April - as nervous as I was I throughly enjoyed it! It’s given me so much confidence to speak to anyone anywhere and since then I’ve made sure to do at least 2 a month. Met some amazing ppl whom I am still in contact with and we’ve met up a couple of times post dinner! Love the concept.

• I’ve only been to 2 dinners so far, but plan on going to many more, already met a new friend … We’ve gone hiking a couple times after that and I invited him to my second dinner and had a great time with him and meeting new people! Also appreciate the dietary preferences. Being vegan it was very much needed to make that known

• I had my first Timeleft experience at Mavs in Geelong, and it was hands down one of the most memorable nights out I’ve ever had! … We were perfectly matched – every single person was kind, caring, and just there to connect and share openly. Timeleft provided a stack of thought-provoking questions that encouraged us to be real, vulnerable, and honest, which made the conversations so meaningful. … It was a risk that paid off in the most beautiful way, and I’m already looking forward to the next one.

• Break bread with strangers! Amazing way to meet people. Conversation is always great. This app (typically) attracts adventurous people who want to get to meet others. The vibe is never judgmental, always welcoming with a genuine curiosity. Tonight, my group connected with one another on Instagram during dinner so we could stay in touch.

• I bought this as a gift for my kid who's a bit shy and just moved back to town and they're described them as very nice get togethers and said they are having a great time. Enjoyed both the coffee and dinners they've attended thus far. … Conversations have been easily flowing, and they always seem to extend their time together past what's planned

• I was at a birthday dinner and asked a girl how she met my friend. The girl said from 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 in Melbourne. I really enjoyed the first two! Was lovely company! Would recommend if you want to meet people and try different restaurants.

• Had an excellent experience with Timeleft, met a group of like-minded women aged 34-40 and we were 6 different nationalities. Everyone's there to make friends so whilst ofc its a little awkward at first, you just have to throw yourself in. … Thanks to Timeleft helping busy adults to find friendships.

• Not only have I met wonderful people in every meet up, the restaurants and food has been great but I have now a group of women that we get together about twice a week to meet for lunch or other events outside of timeleft. … I am grateful for the new relationships that we are building and look forward to every Wednesday. Just wonderful! Thank you Timeleft! On my 11th dinner now!

• Each week has been a great experience with some amazing people. … We meet outside TimeLeft as well for coffee, lunch and other activities as well or just contact each other for a conversation by phone. At my age, I had lost two of my best friends through illnesses. I felt very alone… thank you to TimeLeft for the opportunity to have met new friends.

• This is the most social app I have ever used. After attending 30 different events across more than a dozen cities, time left does great! … it is my favorite app since it gets you off your phone and interacting with people in the real world. … I'm glad I found it, and glad for the friends and acquaintances I have made. Now I have people to to hike with, play poker, go to New Year's parties, and game with, thanks to Timeleft.

• I recently moved from UK to France and think it’s an excellent concept … Both occasions I’ve met some really nice people and had the opportunity to try out new restaurants in the city I’ve just moved to.

• The six of us connected really well, and have created a WhatsApp group to stay connected - sharing goofy stuff, life milestones, and organizing hikes, movies and other get-togethers. And I keep going since I meet the most interesting people at these dinners.

• At my 1st Timeleft dinner I have made friends directly. They are still my friends and we see each other regularly ! They come from everywhere, which made them my most interesting fellows :p

• It's really hard to meet new people when you're unemployed and you finished your studies. Timeleft is the best way I've found to remedy that. 10 dinner and I never had a bad experience. … after a few months, I've finally managed to make new friends that I regularly hang out with. And I've also discovered a lot of awesome restaurants !

• Moved to Wollongong about 18 months ago. Went to my first Timeleft dinner recently in the Gong. Was a bit nervous, but met a lovely group of people and had a delicious meal. Will definitely be attending more dinners.

• Well, my group of 6 ladies was absolutely perfect because we were in a similar age range and had so many experiences in common; and we are keeping in touch. … The atmosphere over all spilled onto the street and reminded me of the Paris I remember.

• What a beautiful way to meet people in my city. People who are like minded in reaching out over dinner and make new connections. Learning about others experiences in this city is interesting to me. I look forward to the dinners and have made two friends after 6 dinners. I’m new to the city and I see this app being helpful to expanding my friendship network.

• I am really glad this company exists. … However I love sitting down to dine with strangers once a week. Have met some great friends and also had the most fun 6 week job of my life, selling diamonds, thanks to an amazing woman I met this a dinner.

• Four dinners in and every one has been lovely! Great restaurants, wonderful people, and real friendships made — we now meet outside the dinners too. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to genuinely connect.

• I'll soon be at my 10th Timeleft event after a couple of months using the app. I really love the concept. Great food, lovely places, and the best of all : meeting new people from all kind of horizons. I would never have met them otherwise! I couldn't recommend Timeleft enough

• Timeleft is a nice way to meet people and make friends. Especially coffee events for me because I usually prefer casual setups more often.

• Honestly had no idea what to expect going in but super glad that I did. … But once I was there the conversation just flowed and everyone got along no matter what each others interest were. Just met with one of the guys from my group and we played pickleball the morning after. I totally recommend this app if you are lonely and looking for friends in a big city.

• Met incredible people and explored Paris! As a newbie in Paris, Timeleft has enabled me to meet some awesome people who I now call friends, and explore new areas and restaurants throughout the city. I highly recommend giving it a try!

• I went to this dinner in Lisbon and loved it. My table was great, we had a nice time together and the connection created between us made the experience. … I will repeat for sure.
