ENSPIRE Contributor: Daniel Garritson
Everyone has a best friend, and whether that friend is a sorority sister, a real sister, a coworker, or even an ex, everyone wants the best for their friends & family. Especially if they’re single and looking for love! “Asking for a Friend,” hosted by LisaRaye McCoy, is a modern, self-contained dating show in the vein of Netflix’s “Dating Around”. In it, 2 single best friends looking for love choose 2 blind dates for each other in every hour-long episode. Then, to up the ante, the fun, and the unpredictability, each blind date will be a double date. That’s right, 2 besties double date 2 singles – that they’ve picked for each other – in one evening.
Unlike other dating shows like “Too Hot To Handle”, “Love Is Blind”, “90 Day Fiancee”, or “Love Island”, “Asking For a Friend” stands out with the ‘best friend’ element. No hopeful romantic goes into their date alone, and contestants’ blind dates are chosen for them by people who really know them and know what they like. Especially in the age of online dating, many couples start their relationships in unconventional ways, and “Asking For a Friend” seeks to make the unconventional fun, exciting, and entertaining.
