Should I Really Try a Rental Friend Service?

5 Must-Know Tips for First-Time Users

🤔 “Is this weird… or kind of amazing?”

When you first hear about rental friend services, it’s normal to feel unsure.

“Wait… you can rent a person?”
“Is it safe to meet a stranger?”
“What kind of people use this?”

We get it. The idea of paying to meet someone might sound strange at first.
But in reality, more and more people are using rental friend platforms for perfectly normal, everyday reasons like:

✔️ Language exchange with locals
✔️ Travel companionship
✔️ Eating out without being alone
✔️ Going on a walk or chatting over coffee

It’s not about dating.
It’s about connection — without pressure.

✅ So if it’s your first time…

Here are 5 essential tips before using a rental friend service:

① Always check for verified profiles

You’re meeting a real person — so trust is everything.

Make sure the platform only allows identity-verified users (like TIMEET does).
That way, you reduce the risks of:

No-shows
Unsafe behavior
Sudden communication cut-offs

👉 Look for profiles with “Verified”, visible ratings, and reviews before choosing.

② Don’t expect a fairytale

If you’re hoping for movie-like chemistry on your first meet… let’s keep things real.

A rental friend is like:

“Someone to eat and talk with — casually.”

Keep your expectations low and your vibe light.
👉 That’s when it becomes unexpectedly fun and relaxing.

③ Meet at public places — like a franchise café

Where you meet matters.
First meetups should always happen in places that are:

Well-lit and casual (like a café)
Open to the public
Not too late in the evening

TIMEET ensures that all matches are designed to meet in safe spaces like chain cafés or public parks — and that’s one less thing to worry about.

④ Don’t make uncomfortable requests

Remember: you’re meeting a human being, not a hired performer.
Paying for time doesn’t mean you can ask for anything.

❌ No inappropriate questions
❌ No sudden physical contact
❌ No pushing for personal details

And if you feel uncomfortable because of something they said or did?
👉 A good platform will let you report it immediately.

Respect is a two-way street.

⑤ Always leave a review (and read others!)

Whether the experience was amazing or just okay,
leaving feedback helps improve the platform — and helps others too.

Also, reading reviews before choosing someone gives you a great sense of what to expect.

Are they friendly?
Do they respond quickly?
What kind of vibe do they give?

All of that info is usually in the reviews.

💡 Final thoughts

Trying something new is scary — especially when it involves meeting a stranger.
But rental friend services are becoming a real solution for people who:

Feel isolated
Travel solo
Don’t enjoy dating apps
Just want someone to talk to

If you’re one of them, you’re not alone.
TIMEET is here to help you connect, safely and comfortably.
