How RoundSix works in Alta Vista

1. Pick your area and interests. It takes about a minute, in your phone's browser.
2. Meet your circle. When circles open, we introduce you to 5 people near you who like the same things and are free at similar times.
3. Answer a question a day together. Light, fun questions, so you know a bit about each other before you meet.
4. Hang out. Your circle picks a time and an easy public place, and everyone says if they're in.
5. Keep the ones you click with. If two of you want to stay in touch, you become each other's people.
