I spent six years in a relationship I assumed would last, until I lost it and realized how much I’d taken for granted. The grief was sharp. It opened my eyes to what real connection is and how rare it feels when you’re surrounded by people but still miss someone.

NEXTMOVE grew out of that longing. It’s more than just dinners with strangers. It’s an invitation to experience connection thoughtfully again: to meet someone for real, share laughter and stories, build memories in the small moments.

We use personality matching not just for fun, but so every Friday night feels intentional. So when you walk into a room of strangers, you leave with something more, new perspectives, maybe a friend, and always the sense that you’ve made a move toward belonging.
