Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make friends in a city as busy as New York?
The key is finding people with shared routines. Girlfriend Social lets you connect over shared interests first, so you already have something to talk about before you even meet up for that first coffee.
Where are the best spots for a first friend-date in the city?
We highly recommend low-pressure environments. A walk through Central Park, grabbing a slice at a local pizzeria, or visiting a free museum exhibit are great ways to chat without feeling stuck at a table.
Are people actually meeting up in person?
Absolutely! While the conversations start online, our NYC members frequently transition to real-life meetups. It is all about finding someone who matches your vibe and pacing.
Is this a dating app?
Not at all. Girlfriend Social is strictly a platonic friendship community for women. It is a safe space designed entirely around making female friends.
