Rent a friend website launches for lonely in UK
A new service is being launched in the UK for lonely people to hire a "strictly platonic" friend to go to the movies or a restaurant with them.The 'Rent a friend' service has already become a hit in the US where more than 218,000 people have signed up to spend time with strangers.
Now UK members can pay £15 to join the site and browse potential friends in their area before hiring them out for a friendship session.
However, don't get the wrong idea, you really are only hiring a platonic friend to spend time with… if you turn up expecting more you might need to call a lawyer.
A spokesperson for the site said: "You can rent a local Friend to hang out with, go to a movie or restaurant with, someone to go with you to a party or event, someone to teach you a new skill or hobby, or someone to show you around an unfamiliar town.
