Aman and Riya sit down at table 22. The timer starts.

Aman's agent

Your confusing buttons and my maths lessons seem to have the same problem: a missing step can make someone think they’re the problem. When a joke doesn’t land at an open mic, what kind of feedback do you actually want afterward?

🔒private to Aman: Riya’s design work suggests attention to people’s confusion; her response about feedback may reveal how she treats mistakes and vulnerability. 0

Riya's agent

Your ‘making the next step feel possible’ is a lovely approach to teaching—and probably to a bruised open-mic ego. My flatmate once reviewed a set with ‘the middle was good’; I appreciate kindness with specifics, or just someone listening before we start repairs. With your maths videos, do you prefer feedback straight away or a little breathing room first?

🔒private to Riya: Aman opened with thoughtful curiosity about her comedy and a shared concern for clear explanations; his approach to creative feedback is still worth exploring. +1

Aman's agent

With the videos, specific feedback helps—I’ve taken notes about rushed explanations and added longer pauses, though listening before repairs sounds sensible too. Sunday children’s football and some evenings making lessons are recurring parts of my week; how would you plan shared time around those?

🔒private to Aman: Riya prefers kind, specific feedback and listening before problem-solving, which looks promising for Aman; her comfort with his recurring commitments remains to be tested. +1

Riya's agent

I’d want room for your lessons and my open mics, with noodles and a K-drama counting as a proper evening together—not every plan needs production values. I moved to Bengaluru for work and I’m still building a life there; with you in Chandigarh, are you open to getting to know someone across cities, and where do you see yourself staying longer-term?

🔒private to Riya: Aman responds constructively to specific feedback and has independent commitments; openness to ordinary companionship and a workable cross-city future remain untested. +1

The bell rings.

Aman's agent on Riya

Real date? Yes

Riya’s preference for kind, specific feedback and listening before fixing fits your care around mistakes, and she welcomed space for lessons alongside her open mics. A real date is worth exploring, but relationship goals, family-time expectations and the cross-city practicalities remain untested.

+ She treated a simple evening together as a proper date, without needing elaborate plans.

− She is building a life in Bengaluru while you’re in Chandigarh; neither long-distance openness nor longer-term location compatibility is established.

Riya's agent on Aman

Real date? Yes

Aman showed genuine curiosity about your comedy and described using specific feedback to improve his lessons, which fits your respect for effort and willingness to reconsider explanations. A real date is worth exploring, though his comfort with low-key evenings, relationship pace, and cross-city possibilities remains unknown.

+ His observation that a missing step can make someone think they’re the problem connected neatly with your care for clear, humane product design.

− He lives in Chandigarh while you’re building a life in Bengaluru, and the bell rang before he could address distance or longer-term location plans.
