Frequently Asked Questions

Where is a good place to meet a new friend in the city?
A low-stakes, scenic walk is perfect. Grabbing a hot drink and wandering around the Meadows, or browsing the independent shops in Bruntsfield gives you plenty to talk about without any awkward silences.
Is this only for university students?
Not at all. While we have students, a huge portion of our Scottish community is made up of young professionals, expats, and locals in their 20s, 30s, and beyond looking to expand their social circles.
How do I know if someone wants to actually meet up?
Our platform is designed specifically for women who are actively seeking in-person friendships. You can chat online first to see if you click before suggesting a quick coffee or a walk.
Is Girlfriend Social a free platform?
Yes, it is completely free to join and use. It is a dedicated, women-only space for making platonic friends safely.
