Chelsea Is My HandlerA LITTLE HELP FROM YOUR FRIENDS

Dating, with a friend in your corner

Someone knows your good side.

The friend who takes your best photos. Remembers your best stories. Knows who you should meet. Give them a way to help.

Meet fictional people. Try the Pal and Handler perspectives. No account needed.

A little more you.

The everyday things a friend would think to show.

A small act of friendship

Start with one good word.

You don’t need to be a matchmaker. You just need to care about someone.

  1. 01

    Bring someone who knows you.

    A Pal is the person open to meeting someone. A Handler is their trusted friend. You choose who helps and what that help looks like.

  2. 02

    Give the profile a human point of view.

    A photo from a good day. A thoughtful note. An interest you actually enjoy. Your friend contributes; you review what represents you.

  3. 03

    Make an introduction, together.

    Friends can spot a possibility and help open the conversation. The people being introduced choose whether to take it further.

Good relationships have a wider circle

Found your person?
Stay for your friends.

Being happy together can be the beginning of helping someone else. Share a photo they love. Notice a shared interest. Offer an introduction.

Small, thoughtful contributions give a friend something a profile alone can’t: someone in their corner.

Help opens a door.
It never pushes someone through.

The Oath of Goodwill asks every Handler to tell the truth, respect boundaries, and share only what’s theirs to share.

A contribution is a suggestion. An introduction is an invitation. The person at the centre gets a choice.

About the name

It started with a friend making an introduction.

Chelsea Handler told a story about a friend passing along her number. That small act inspired this idea: make it easier for people who care about you to help.
