Friendship, Not Dating: Respectful Conduct

Friendship Is the Whole Point

KF.Social brings small groups together over dinner for one reason: to make friends. It is not a dating service, and the dinners are not set up as romantic occasions. Keeping that clear matters, because it sets the tone for the table and means everyone arrives with the same expectations. When people come along to build friendships rather than to pursue someone, the evening stays relaxed and welcoming for all.

What Good Conduct Looks Like

The dinners work best when everyone brings a little care and consideration. In practice that means:

• Be kind and inclusive: draw quieter people into the conversation, listen as much as you talk, and keep things friendly.
• Be on time: arriving when the dinner starts is a simple courtesy to the rest of the table, who are waiting to begin.
• No pressure to share contact details: nobody is obliged to swap numbers, social handles, or personal information. If someone would rather not, respect that without comment.
• Keep the focus on friendship: treat everyone at the table as a potential friend, not as a romantic prospect.

If Someone Treats It Like a Date

Occasionally someone may misread the evening and behave as though it is a date, perhaps singling out one person, making romantic advances, or pushing for personal contact details. This is not what KF.Social is for, and you do not have to tolerate it. You can:

• Politely redirect the conversation back to the group.
• Decline to share contact details, simply and without justifying yourself.
• Move seats or leave the dinner if you would prefer to. You are free to go at any time.
• Report the person from the app so we are aware of the behaviour.

You never owe anyone your attention, your number, or an explanation for setting a boundary.

Boundaries and Consent

Respect at the table comes down to a few straightforward principles. Consent applies to conversation and contact just as it does anywhere else: a "no" or a change of subject should be accepted the first time, without pushing. Nobody should be pressured to answer personal questions, share where they live or work, hand over their phone, or continue a conversation they want to end. Physical contact beyond an ordinary greeting should never be assumed. If you are unsure whether something is welcome, the safe choice is to ask or to hold back.

Inappropriate Behaviour

Some behaviour goes beyond awkwardness and is simply not acceptable, including:

• Persistent unwanted attention or advances after someone has made their disinterest clear.
• Aggressive, demeaning, or discriminatory remarks.
• Pressuring anyone to leave the group, go somewhere private, or share personal information.
• Asking anyone to pay outside the app, such as a cash table fee or a payment to another guest. The only legitimate charge is the in-app Matching Fee.

If you witness or experience any of this, you do not have to manage it alone.

How to Report and Block

KF.Social gives you simple tools to act in the moment or afterwards:

• One-tap report: flag a person or their behaviour from the app in a single tap.
• One-tap block: stop someone contacting you through the platform.
• The avoid list: anyone you add will never be seated with you at a future dinner. They are not told, and you do not have to give a reason.

Reports help us keep tables respectful for everyone, so please use them whenever something does not sit right.

Profiles Stay Private

You only ever see the full profiles of people you have actually met at a dinner. Before then, profiles stay private. This protects everyone from being looked up or contacted off-platform by people they have not chosen to share details with, and it reinforces the friendly, low-pressure spirit of the dinners. What you share, with whom, and when, always stays your decision.

When everyone treats the table as a chance to make friends and respects each other's boundaries, the dinners are warm, easy, and genuinely enjoyable, which is exactly how they are meant to be.
