How Matching Works
Rove helps you meet people in real life—not collect matches you'll never talk to.

Limited Conversations
Rove limits active conversations to encourage:
- Quality – Give each match real attention
- Action – Move to real-life meetups
- Freshness – Unmatch to make room for new connections
Your Inbox
Shows all active conversations with:

Freeing Up Your Shot
If a conversation isn't progressing:

This makes room for new connections.
