The Friend You Have is a social experience company. We offer social concierge services so you can book the company for the experience you already want.
Most people have times when they want to go out to celebrate, try something new, or simply not do it alone. The people they already know are unavailable, the wrong fit for that moment, or the ask itself feels complicated. TFYH answers that need directly. You know the kind of social experience you want, you complete screening, TFYH reviews your request, matches you with a friend, and you spend the scheduled time together after the payment confirms the booking.
TFYH was created for people who want more out of their social lives—more experiences, more opportunities to connect, and more reasons to get out and actually enjoy life.
TFYH is an independently operated social experience company created to make it easier for adults to follow through on the plans they already want. Every request is reviewed before confirmation rather than treated like an instant, anonymous transaction.
Current service area: In-person Friend and concierge experiences focus on New York City. Phone and video experiences may be available more broadly.
How Friends are selected: Prospective Friends apply directly to TFYH. Selection considers identity and contact information, communication, reliability, social fit, boundaries, and the requirements of each experience. Matching also considers the customer’s stated preferences and the specific plan. Screening reduces risk but cannot eliminate it.

As we get older, meeting people and maintaining an active social life can become more complicated than anyone likes to admit. Friends get married, start families, move away, work different schedules, or simply grow in different directions. You can have people in your life and still find yourself wanting someone to grab dinner with, attend an event with, explore somewhere new with, or just spend a few hours enjoying good conversation and good energy.
And sometimes, you don’t want to wait around for everyone’s schedules to magically align before you start living.
That’s part of why TFYH exists.
We create intentional opportunities for adults to connect through real world experiences. From spending time with a TFY Friend to attending social events, enjoying unique experiences, traveling to retreats, meeting new people, or simply having someone to share an outing with, TFYH gives you more ways to create the social life and experiences you want.
We’re not here to tell you who you should connect with or what friendship is supposed to look like. We’re creating the opportunities, experiences, and spaces where genuine connections can happen.
Maybe you’re new to the city. Maybe your circle has gotten smaller. Maybe you have plenty of friends, but they’re never available when you are. Maybe you’re tired of doing the same things with the same people. Maybe there’s a restaurant you’ve been wanting to try, an event you’ve been wanting to attend, or a trip you’ve been wanting to take and you’re done waiting for somebody else before you go.
Or maybe you simply want to meet somebody new.
Whatever brought you here, TFYH gives you another option.
You shouldn’t have to miss an experience because nobody happens to be available. Meeting someone new also should not require dating apps, awkward networking events, or hoping an online interaction becomes a real connection.
TFYH is about getting back into the real world.
It’s about conversations beyond a screen: going somewhere, trying something different, discovering a favorite place, showing up for the event, and creating stories worth telling later.
Most importantly, it’s about giving yourself permission to experience life without waiting for the perfect circumstances or the perfect person to come along first.
At TFYH, connection is only the beginning.
The experience is what you make of it.
