A Room for Making Friends

This room exists for one reason: to make friends online without any pressure. Nobody's here to date or sell anything. Step 1 asks how you're best described, so new people know a little about who they're meeting. That's all we ask, and your answer decides which inbox filters you'll see next.

Friendships here grow the slow way, through repeat conversations. Pick a time that suits you and come back to it, and you'll start to recognise names. If this room is quiet, the main chat rooms lobby usually has someone around.

New to chat rooms? Start by replying to something already being discussed. People in the online chat and in this room are generally happy to welcome someone new.

Find people to talk to regularly and build real online friendships. Make Friends is for people looking for new friends. Pick a chat name, answer two quick questions and you're in. There's no email, no download and nothing to pay.
