No-Rings: Twenty Minutes Without the Dating Machinery
A BYU-and-Provo service arranges a $10, twenty-minute public conversation between two people who agree independently.
Field notes
The service uses a staged consent process: participants choose acceptable places and times, receive a simultaneous offer, confirm independently, and get precise meeting details shortly before the appointment. The page specifies first names, ages, and selected answers as the initial information shared; surnames wait until a second meeting, while phone numbers require mutual approval the following morning. It also describes a member-facing process for revising and retiring the service's questions.
