Chemistry.com has trademarked the venerable coffee date, calling it “First-MeetingTM.” Click the image to learn all about the four-stage guided communication process. Strange that the graphics that depict the process are not in synch with actual process itself.
The First-Meetingâ„¢ is a quick, low-pressure, and entirely optional way for you to meet your match and find out if you have any in-person chemistry.
Have I been living in the city too long? Am I out of touch with middle America? Do people actually need to be told things like “How long should a First-Meetingâ„¢ last?” My favorite phrase, “the first meeting is optional.” What?
In a future release of the product, we are planning to offer summary feedback gathered over several First-Meeting™s, so that you can see – on average – what your matches think of you. You would not see individual comments, but instead, would see broad trends over the course of several First-Meeting™s.
This is clearly a step towards implementing a date-rating service. All they have to do now is make the reviews public and add testimonials.
Regardless of the lukewarm reception it’s received, you have to give Chemistry credit for trying to embed the service deeper into the meeting and matching process.
