A real match

From Steve, Tuesday 9:04 am

David, meet Ruth. You're both in San Rafael, you both bake sourdough, and you both said you miss talking about books with someone in person. I think you'll like each other. Reply all and pick a coffee spot this week.

This is the whole product. An introduction like this one, every week.

How it works

Three steps, then coffee.

  1. Tell me about yourself

    A 2 minute form. Your town, a few interests, and what season of life you're in.

  2. I match you with someone nearby

    By hand, every week. Shared ground first, then a hunch. There's no algorithm here, and there won't be.

  3. You meet for coffee

    Thirty minutes, a real conversation, no agenda. Some matches become friends. All of them beat scrolling.

The coffee is the mechanism. What members are really building is friendship and a more connected next chapter.

Who's behind this

Steve Gershik

I wrote a book about designing life after 50, and one chapter argues that friendship in this season takes structure. Tahliv is me building that structure and testing it in public, starting in my own backyard.

I've spent 28 years bringing people together around ideas, and I host the Your Third Third podcast and newsletter. Every match here gets made by me, personally, until that stops being possible. That's the plan.

The next matches go out Monday.

Fill out the form and you're in the pool. Your first coffee could be this week, and your next real friendship could start there.
