Best times to propose
- 1. 2pm in Dublin · 9am in New York — Right at the edge of someone's day
- 2. 3pm in Dublin · 10am in New York — Comfortable mid-day slot on both sides
- 3. 4pm in Dublin · 11am in New York — Comfortable mid-day slot on both sides
Avoid 9am Dublin time and 10am Dublin time — inside working hours locally but outside them for the other city.

With 4 shared working hours, Dublin and New York can run standing meetings without anyone giving up an evening — as long as the slot sits inside that window on both sides of the next clock change.
Sending a booking link avoids the arithmetic entirely: each side picks a time in their own zone and both calendars get the correct local time, including after a daylight-saving change. See how LemCall handles cross-timezone bookings.
