About Friending Spaces
We’re emotionally starved. We’re living in a time where dating apps, algorithms, and filtered realities have reshaped how we connect. Swiping replaced serendipity. Performative small talk replaced genuine curiosity. In a world of endless options, many of us are left feeling lonelier than ever. The result? A generation that’s craving intimacy—but burnt out on the means to find it.
Real connection, thoughtfully designed. Through small, curated gatherings and thoughtful one-on-one introductions, we create space for genuine connection to unfold. Whether you're seeking friendship, romantic partnership, or simply want to feel more connected to yourself and others, we offer a more emotionally honest way to meet. When you show up to Friending Space you’re met with real people, real moments, and room to connect.
Releasing the pressure to perform. Years of career-first hustle, isolation, and algorithmic matching have left even the most emotionally intelligent adults struggling to form meaningful relationships. It’s not just you. The infrastructure for connection is simply broken.
Born from lived experience. Founded by three women—a psychotherapist, an executive recruiter, and a strategist who bridges both worlds—Friending Spaces was created to meet a real need: to help people feel seen, supported, and emotionally fulfilled through the journey to authentic connection.
