How to find a date for a night out with friends

Planning a night out with friends is fun; finding a date that works for everyone is less fun. Between packed schedules, WhatsApp messages piling up, and the endless "I can't make it that night"… DooDates sorts it out in seconds. Describe your night out to the AI, share the link in your group, and let the Consensus filter reveal the date everyone can do.

In 3 steps

1

Describe your night out to the AI chat

Type "pizza night this Saturday or Sunday, at my place, not the 15th" — the AI generates the poll with the right dates in 10 seconds. Add the address in the settings so it shows up in the invitation.

2

Share the link in your WhatsApp group

Copy the link and send it to your WhatsApp group. Your friends vote right from their phone in under a minute, with no account to create and no app to download. If some friends are slow to reply, nudge them in one click from the results page.

3

The winning date emerges with the Consensus filter

The Consensus filter automatically hides the dates where some friends are blocked — only the options that work for the whole group remain. The Blockers filter shows whether someone is consistently blocking. All that's left is to confirm and order the pizzas.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, that's the fastest way. Click "Find a time slot" and type something like "board game night Friday or Saturday, at Jules's place". The AI generates the poll with the time slots in a few seconds.

No, no account is needed to vote. They click the link, enter their first name, and check off their availability in a few seconds.

On the results page, the Engagement filter shows you who hasn't voted yet. Copy the poll link and send it directly to those people with a reminder message.

The Consensus filter automatically hides the dates that too many people have declined. It only shows you the time slots where no one (or very few people) is blocked — the ideal date jumps right out.

Polls stay active until you close them. You can set an automatic voting deadline in the settings if you want the poll to close on a specific date.
