Especially if they’re single and looking for love! “Asking for a Friend,” hosted by LisaRaye McCoy, on TV One is a modern, self-contained dating show in the vein of Netflix’s “Dating Around”, in which 2 single best friends looking for love, choose 2 blind dates for each other in every hour-long episode. Then to up the ante, the fun, and the unpredictability, each blind date will be a double date. That’s right, 2 besties double date 2 singles – that they’ve picked for each other – in one evening. “Asking for a Friend” premieres Thursday, February 9th on TV One.
