The first meeting with Meet5 can often be intimidating for many users. “How will others react to me?” “Am I even welcome?” These are the thoughts we sometimes hear from our users. To give you a little encouragement, we asked two users about their first Meet5 meeting.
Anke and her boyfriend Georg told us about their first experiences and meetings. Side note - the two of them got to know each other through Meet5 😊
How did your first meetings take place?
Anke: My parents saw an article about Meet5 in the Giessen newspaper and brought it to my attention. After seeing the article, I immediately registered on the app and went to my first meeting.
Georg: Meet5 was recommended to me by acquaintances. Once I registered on the app, I quickly found a meeting I wanted to join.
What were your thoughts before the first meeting?
Anke: I was both nervous and excited at the same time. I almost turned around and left when I arrived at the first meeting 🙃
Georg: I was intrigued and excited about what to expect and looking forward to meeting new people.
How did you feel during and after the first meeting? What impressions did the other participants leave you with? Was the atmosphere good?
Anke: My first meeting had a lot of participants. Luckily, I became close with the person sitting next to me and we shared a great conversation the whole time. Overall, the atmosphere was very pleasant and relaxed.
Georg: The other participants were very relaxed and open right from the start, so the initial tension quickly dissipated. The mood was relaxed, and we had a great time. It’s interesting to see how quickly you can get into conversation with other participants.
What advice would you give to others for their first meeting?
Anke: Be curious and open. Be interested in the people you meet. Everyone who is at a meeting wants to make new friends - that's a great prerequisite for good conversations and even new friendships.
Georg: Try to be relaxed and not worry too much.
