First Contact Etiquette

When you decide to find someone in person, the hardest moment is usually the first three seconds. Double Stop gives you a phrase to cross that gap: "D-Stop [name]?"

That phrase does several things at once. It immediately identifies you as a Double Stop user — not a stranger beginning an unwanted conversation. It says the person's chosen name, which is a small but deeply humanising act. And it gives the other person complete clarity: they can smile and say yes, shake their head, or keep walking. The phrase is designed to have a low social cost in both directions.
