Meeting new people as an adult can be a bit… daunting. There’s the fear of running out of things to say, the nightmare of being stuck with someone who never stops talking, or simply getting held back by shyness. Luckily, Imperfect Strangers in Glasgow is designed to sidestep the awkwardness, avoid those never-ending monologues, and help you tap into your confident side with fun ice-breaker games.
Whether you’re new to Glasgow and looking to make your first friend, a local hoping to expand your circle, or even hoping for something a bit more special, this dining experience pairs you with—surprisingly enough—the perfect strangers.
What is Imperfect Strangers?
In most cities and even small towns around the world, you’ll find all sorts of groups—book clubs, walking groups, bird-watching societies, language clubs, and more—designed to help people connect over shared interests. Imperfect Strangers takes this idea and adds its own twist. Before the event, participants are asked to answer a questionnaire to ensure compatibility, and to keep things relaxed, they mix in food and games. It’s a laid-back way to hang out with others and have some fun without any of the usual pressure.
Who attends these secretive and mysterious dinners?
Imperfect Strangers is open to everyone over the age of 18. While the event welcomes all kinds of people, attendees are typically those who are genuinely looking to connect. Whether they’re hoping to add a few names to their contact list, find a new coffee buddy, or maybe even land a date, the goal is always to enjoy the experience and meet new faces. To really make the social magic happen, it’s important to come with an open mind and a positive attitude.
