  • 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…

Questions about making friends in Taipei

How can I make friends in Taipei?
Timeleft matches you with a small group of people for dinner, drinks, coffee, or a walk in Taipei, based on a short personality test. You sign up on your own, we choose the venue and the group, and before the event, the app tells you where to go.
When are Timeleft events in Taipei?
Timeleft runs dinners on Friday 13 November at 7:00 pm and Wednesday 18 November at 7:00 pm, drinks on Thursdays at 7:00 pm, coffee on Saturdays at 1:00 pm, and walks on Sundays at 3:00 pm. There are also women-only dinners on Mondays at 7:00 pm and singles dinners on Fridays at 7:00 pm. Bookings close 13 hours before each event starts, or at midnight the night before if that would fall between midnight and 8:00 am.
Where in Taipei do they happen?
At restaurants, bars, cafés, and meeting points in Da'an and Zhongzheng. The app shows the exact venue before the event.
How much does Timeleft cost in Taipei?
Booking takes a Timeleft membership, a subscription that covers every event you book while it's active. You pay for your own food and drinks at the venue. Prices depend on the plan you pick, and the app shows them before you pay.
Can I go on my own?
Yes. You book on your own and we put the group together, so you don't need to bring anyone. If you'd rather come with someone, invite them from your booking and you'll be in the same group. They don't need a membership for that event if it's their first Timeleft booking. The guide to your first dinner walks through booking step by step.
Is it safe to meet strangers in Taipei?
Every event is at a public venue we've vetted, and there's no one-to-one messaging before you meet the group. 99% of Timeleft events happen without any safety incident. If you report someone, you're never put in the same group as them again. Our safety guidelines cover the rest.
Is Timeleft in Taipei for people in their 20s, 30s, or 40s?
Yes. Timeleft is for adults of every age. When we put a group together, we look at age along with your personality quiz and booking preferences. Who you meet still depends on who books the same event.
Is Timeleft a dating app?
No. There are no profiles to swipe through, and nobody gets paired off. You meet a small group of people at once, in person.
Are there singles events in Taipei?
Yes. Timeleft runs singles dinners on Fridays at 7:00 pm in Taipei, with a small group matched to you at a venue we pick. More about singles events.
How is Timeleft different from Meetup?
Meetup lists groups and events run by their own organizers, and you choose which to join. With Timeleft, you pick a format and a day, and we match you with a small group and choose the venue. Our Timeleft vs Meetup comparison goes into more detail.
Are Timeleft events in Taipei in English?
Yes, if you want them to be. You choose Mandarin or English when you book, and we aim to seat you with people who picked the same language.
What if I'm vegetarian or vegan, or have an allergy?
Pick a dietary preference in the app when you book, and we'll do our best to seat you at a venue that caters to it. For allergies, check with the venue on the day.
Is Timeleft in other cities in Taiwan?
Yes. You'll also find Timeleft in Taichung, Kaohsiung, Hsinchu, Tainan, and Taoyuan. See every location.
