In Their Words

Testimonials

“Friending Spaces is an excellent way to meet and connect with others -the events provide a unique format that fosters amusing and engaging conversations. Additionally, the format allowed me to gain an understanding of others values, mindsets, and interests. After attending the first event in May '25 I connected with someone at the event; it has been great getting to know them for the past several months and developing a strong organic connection. I look forward to many more beach dates collecting sea glass, painting, and exploring the tide pools with him.” - AB, California

Friending Spaces has been such a breath of fresh air. It’s helped me understand what I’m really looking for in relationships while also learning more about myself. Working with them has allowed me to reflect on my patterns, get clarity on the kind of connection I want, and meet people in a more intentional, meaningful way.  The events are fun, thoughtfully curated, and encourage deeper conversations and self-reflection. It’s been so comforting to feel supported and to know there are people who genuinely care about helping you find the right connection.” - ST, California

“Out of curiosity I attended Friending Spaces' first ever event. The vibes were relaxed and the group was not too big or overwhelming. The event’s format allowed me to get to know each person in the event without having to interact with them individually. I was able to sift through the different personalities to find who was most compatible for me. At the end of the event I approached someone and asked for their number. We started texting and eventually began dating. I am grateful to Friending Spaces for providing a space for our paths to cross.” - AR, California

I have met a ton of cool people through Friending Spaces - both at the events and through the 1:1 introductions. The team does a great job curating the community. My favorite part is, without a doubt, the conversations with the founders. They have invested so much time in getting to know me and offering advice that is specific to my situation. I truly feel taken care of, and I am very grateful for their presence in my life. If you are feeling burnt out by dating apps or just want to expand your circle, this is a wonderful place to start.” - MG, California

“I just started working with Friending Spaces, and I’m genuinely impressed. They took real time to understand me - my values, lifestyle, and what I want in a long-term relationship. If you’re tired of surface-level dating and want something more intentional, they’re absolutely worth checking out.” - RK, Florida

“ I feel so grateful to have come across friending spaces. Guided conversations and tough questions allow participants to really get to know each other and form impressions at a deeper level than the current dating apps make space for. The mission helps keep us honest and focused on creating meaningful connections. There is so much laughter and energy at each event. Friending spaces is a special place, as are the three incredible women that have founded it” - AG, California
