Modern society is facing an increasing trend of social isolation, as people increasingly rely on social media for interaction instead of face-to-face communication. This lack of in-person contact often leads to feelings of loneliness and disconnection. This study proposes the concept of a mobile application, CoffeeBreak, designed to counteract these trends by offering users a platform to arrange brief, in-person meetings, such as a quick coffee. The model ensures that users are matched in a way that promotes engagement, as each participant can be assured that their matched partner is equally motivated for the encounter. As the application continues to evolve, it can incorporate additional scheduling criteria to enhance the quality of matches and distribution. For example, if a user attends a meeting within the first two days, they could unlock the potential for additional matches by the end of the week. Ultimately, CoffeeBreak aims to broaden users' horizons, help them form new professional and informal connections, and enhance their social skills.
