New site offers women platonic dinner dates

Hate dining alone? Got an upcoming business trip? A new site, Invite for a Bite, wants to give you some companionship when you need it — in a totally non-creepy way.

True or false: You hate dining solo at a restaurant. A lot of women do, especially when they have no option to dine with a companion, like when they’re out of town on business. A new site called Invite for a Bite wants to change all that!

So what’s the premise? Well, it goes a little something like this: You’re heading out on your own and you’d like a little conversation while you eat. Whether you feel awkward or comfortable while dining solo or you’d just like to have some companionship, you can go check out the website. When you’re there, you can invite local women to meet up or browse the current get-togethers. You choose who you want to meet with and where and then get ready for some fun conversation!

According to CNN, the site’s founder, Cressida Howard, came up with the idea for “the site I wanted to join but couldn’t find.” And so far, so good! The site is less than two months old and it’s already seen women get together in countries around the globe.

But Invite for a Bite isn’t just for the traveling lady. The site also offers you the chance to get together with local women near you!

Unlike online dating websites, these get-togethers are completely platonic and are for women only. But like online dating websites, Invite for a Bite does encourage safety first since you are, of course, meeting someone new.
