Scott Rosenbaum, 30, has a database of 218,000 men and women who members of his site Rent a Friend can hire "to hang out with, go to a movie or restaurant with", or be "someone to show you around an unfamiliar town".The US-based site already has around 2,000 members, each paying up to £16 a month ($25) to access the site.
When they see a friend they like the look of, they can rent them for as little as £6.50 ($10) an hour.
Rosenbaum said he wanted to "go a step back" from dating sites and offer a service that was, in the words of his website "strictly platonic".
