Two years ago I was single and friendless after moving to London for a doomed relationship.
Now I have a close group of friends, a working knowledge of the best pubs in the city and I just bought a house with the love of my life.
And I did it all by going on ‘friendship blind dates’.
Curious? Yep, thought so.
The idea of blind dating new friends started in New York, where locals wanted to connect with each other and share their experiences after the horror of 9/11. The idea soon spread to the UK and now there’s thousands of people making new friends every week across the country.
