- ## How to run interview practice buddy cafe protocol
Interview practice buddies timebox mocks and swap feedback — book a mentor Buddy for deep coaching. Venue notes: cafes with semi-private corners. Publish skill level, spend cap, and end time.
Etiquette that keeps people coming back
Welcome newcomers, ban dunking on beginners, split costs fairly, and leave the space cleaner than you found it. Adults 18+.
Scale with Events & Communities
Host once, then move coordination into a Community. Book a Buddy for 1:1 skill coaching when needed. In India, Buddies typically buy Booking Credits through Razorpay to accept requests. Session fees are paid peer-to-peer — LetMeBuddy does not hold session money.
30-day plan to make it stick
Week 1: Try one small step from this guide in a public setting.
Week 2: Repeat with the same person or crew if the vibe felt respectful.
Week 3: Add a simple ritual (shared notes, next-date vote, short recap message).
Week 4: Invite one new person through a friend or an open Event listing.
Consistency beats novelty. Real connection grows when plans are clear and kind.
Mistakes that slow progress
- Vague invites with no time, place, or purpose
- Meeting in private homes on the first hangout
- Ignoring discomfort because you do not want to seem rude
- Treating every new person like a dating lead
- Skipping basic profile and booking details when using a marketplace
Write logistics down. Keep intentions platonic unless everyone agrees otherwise.
