Friending App: Make Friends Without Dating Apps, Scam Profiles, & Digital-Only Connections

Send us Fan Mail

Today, I sit down with Gabor Kadas, co-founder of Friending, to talk about one of the biggest modern struggles people face: making real friends in a digital world full of fake profiles, bots, scams, and shallow online interaction. We break down why friendship can feel easier to search for than ever before, yet harder than ever to actually build. Mr. Kadas shares how moving across multiple countries shaped his understanding of loneliness and why he became part of a platform designed to help people connect more safely and intentionally.

In this episode, I walk through the Friending app with Mr. Kadas so listeners can understand how it works. We discuss identity verification, interest-based matching, activity cards, real-time meetups, and safety-focused features meant to reduce catfishing, fake accounts, and other common online risks. We also talk about how the app is built to encourage genuine effort and mutual investment in friendship rather than one-sided convenience.

I also push into the bigger cultural issue behind all of this: loneliness, isolation, and the growing habit of replacing real relationships with screens. Mr. Kadas and I talk about how technology has made people more connected digitally while often leaving them more disconnected in real life. We address the discomfort of meeting new people, handling differences, and having awkward first conversations, and why those things are still necessary if we want deep, lasting friendships.
