My friend in Denver convinced me to try a 'friend date' with a coworker after 3 awkward lunches, and it actually worked.

I was sure the whole 'friend date' concept was forced and weird, but grabbing a beer with my coworker Mike last Tuesday turned into a real conversation about our shared hobby of restoring old bikes, and now we have actual weekend plans.

Right? The "friend date" idea sounds SO forced until it actually works. I had the same thing happen with a neighbor last month, we kept doing the awkward wave thing until I finally just asked if he wanted to check out the new taco spot. Turns out we're both into the same weird old sci-fi movies, and now we trade show recommendations all the time. It cuts through the small talk and lets you find the actual shared interest. Glad your beer with Mike turned into real plans, that's awesome.

What's the best old sci-fi show you've found through him?
