Who are we and why did we start this site?

We’re two sisters that live across the country from each other and think it’s really hard to meet new friends - like really good friends, not acquaintances. We used to complain about it to each other and one day we decided we should stop complaining and do something about it. More info about us here: About us.

Here is what some of our members tell us:

What a wonderful idea! I lived in Florida and although the people were friendly and I was very active socially, and I did make friends, it was very transitory. Now I live in New York and am still trying to find my niche in this community. I find people seek romantic relationships instead of friendships to avoid that transitory feeling, and also to feel emotionally safer. Will pass on the word about your website every chance I get! Thank you for addressing the importance of face to face friendships, they cannot be replaced by online friendships. Keep up the great work!

Thank you for providing a place for people who are looking for companionship and camaraderie and not necessarily {romantic} relationships to find others to do fun things with. I am new to my city in Colorado and would like to explore the area with new friends.

Hi! GREAT IDEA! I am a housewife now living in a semi-rural area after 23 years in New York and I need new friends!!!

I am so happy you created this website. I would like to get together with friends who share the same interests: dining out, sightseeing, jogging, walking, cooking and travel planning!

The site works kinda like a dating site with profiles, search, and messaging but it is platonic and not for dating, get it? Membership is free, so give it a try!
