The event Pitch-A-Friend is a quirky way to meet new single friends. The social initiatives were originally organised in Canada and the US, and now, two local comedians have brought it to Hong Kong. For people accustomed to meeting others online with dating apps, Pitch-A-Friend may sound strange or even intimidating. Participants are required to pair up in person and deliver five-minute speeches about their proposed friends, using presentation slides. The Hong Kong organisers say they hope the event will appeal to singles who are introverted or more traditional when it comes to dating. A pair of Post reporters recently joined in to find out what Pitch-A-Friend is all about.
