How do I find a friend?

To be able to contact other users, first you need to register with this website. You can either start by searching our database, or by creating your profile. Once you are signed up, you can create a profile with information about yourself for other users to see. If you create your own profile, it will be posted on this website and you will start getting messages from other users. When you see a profile that interests you, you can send a private message introducing yourself as well.

What is a Private Message?

It is like email between users, but the messages are sent and received through this website so your email address is never disclosed. You can read, delete, and reply to the messages from your private message inbox.
You do not need to disclose any personal information in your message. We generally recommend you exchange several messages through this website or make several calls through Skype before exchanging personal information.

What is a Bookmark?

It is a user that you can choose to save and view their profile at your convenience. Click "Add" at the bottom of other users' profiles and add them to your bookmarks. You can view your entire list, and click "Delete" at the bottom of other users' profiles if you would like to delete old ones.

What is the “Nice Meeting You” button?

It allows you to express your recommendation on each user. You can click the “Nice Meeting You” button if you feel you are able to trust the user after some calls or messages.
