How we count

How we count a meeting

Just One A Day is not open yet. Where this page describes it, it describes how it will work when it opens.

Just One A Day is judged on one number: how many times members actually meet each other. This page says exactly what we count as a meeting. It does not say what the number is. Members see that inside the app, and it is not on this website.

On the homepage we call this a confirmed date. It is the same thing.

What counts

A meeting counts when all three of these are true:

1. The two of you arranged it inside the app. Both of you chose and confirmed a time and a public place.
2. You both said it happened. Within a day of the time you agreed, each of you is asked one question: did it happen?
3. You each said so separately. Neither of you can answer for the other.

What does not count

• Only one of you saying it happened. We record that as unconfirmed. It never counts as a meeting.
• A meeting arranged anywhere but the app. If you swap numbers and meet, we never saw it arranged, so we do not count it.
• A meeting nobody confirmed. If neither of you answers, it does not count.

Why our number is smaller, and why that is the point

Counting this way makes our number smaller than it could be. Any count that took one person’s word for it, or included meetings arranged somewhere else, would come out bigger.

That is deliberate. A number that only counts what two people both confirmed is one you can trust, even when it is lower than you hoped. If you compare it with another service’s figure, check first what they counted.

Every rule that limits a member is on one page.
