Frequently Asked Questions

FriendMatch is a social networking tool for Making Friends

FriendMatch is a place online where you can go to meet new people and make new friends.

You might be interested in using FriendMatch to meet new friends who live near you, or you might be interested in using the service to meet and connect with interesting new friends with common interests from around the world.

FriendMatch works like a dating website, except that it is matchmaking for friends, not for dating. Start by searching for friends in your desired location, or search for a new friend by interests, such as "running" or "hobby chicken farming" in our Friend Search page.

If you see someone interesting, send them a message or a friend request.

It can take a few weeks to find a good FriendMatch, and we recommend sending several messages to several different friend possibilities for best results.

No, it’s not a dating site. A lot of our members are happily married!

So please don’t try to ask FriendMatch members out on dates.

They are on here just to find new friends and people to hang out with.

Yes! 4 tips:

1. Complete your profile with as many details as you can.
It’s not a dating site, so posting a nice picture isn’t enough to cut it. 
Introduce yourself on your profile. Give other members an idea of what types of friends you are looking for. 
Don’t be one of those people who says, “Ask me to find out” in their “About Me” section. Boring!

2. Be proactive. Search for friends using the browse and search tools. Send messages and introduce yourself. 
Approach several different people for best results, because not everyone will respond to every message. 

Being proactive is the fastest way to start making new friends – much faster than waiting for someone cool to approach you!

3. Be patient. If the right friend isn’t signed up yet in your area, wait and check again later. 
New members are signing up every day, so don’t give up!  

4. Be Safe. Please follow our safety guidelines and use common sense when meeting new people.

Log into your account, from the top menu, click on your username - you will see a drop down menu.

From this drop down menu, choose, "remove account".

When your account is removed, we delete all your information. 
You are welcome to come back anytime and start fresh!

All kinds!

FriendMatch is a diverse community of friendly people from around the world. Members include adults and older teens who want to make real, meaningful friendships based on shared interests.

You can search for friends nearby or connect with people from different countries and cultures.

For safety reasons, FriendMatch is open to users age 16+.

You can block the user so they can't contact you by choosing the block button on their profile.

You can also use the “report” button on their profile to report the member so they can't spam more members.

If a user is threatening you it is best to contact your local police or authorities as well as report it to FriendMatch.

You may also choose to add a "Gold badge" to your account, this filters out messages and friend requests from anyone who has not verified their identity, to add another layer of quality to your friend-finding experience.

Nope! FriendMatch is a website, but it is mobile optimized, so you can browse and enjoy FriendMatch from your phone.

The number one reason this happens is because it is in our spam, junkmail, or promotions box - please check there first! If you still have not received it, please email our support team and we'll help to get you started!

FriendMatch is free to try. You can send out 3 free friend requests and search for up to 100 profiles to see if FriendMatch is the right fit for your friend-finding needs.
Our service is supported by advertisements, to create a free experience for our members.

If you love it, please join with a membership, at a cost of just $6.99 per month, you can reach out to unlimited friends and enjoy the full experience - for about the price of one grande caramel macchiato.

We also offer a verified membership for a one-time cost of $19.99. The verified membership allows you to filter out messages from non-verified members, and helps to make our community safer.

Start by filling out your profile and including a photo, so that new friends can find you.

Next, use our "Search Friends" page to browse or search our members to see if the right friend is there waiting for you. 
If you don’t find someone during your search who might be a good fit for your next friend, then try using fewer search parameters at first.

Start a friendship by sending a message or a friendship request and introducing yourself. An easy way to do this is to say something about their profile.

Or just say what feels natural.

Use the FriendMatch messaging system to get to know each other.

If you are finding a good friend connection, you can also take the friendship off FriendMatch!

You can solidify your new friendship by meeting in person, or just keep your friendship online - the choice is yours!

Once you have met in person, naturally you might exchange contact information like phone numbers, email addresses, or connect on a social network such as Facebook.

Ta-da! You have made a new friend! 

Enjoy the friendship!

If you want to make another new friend, or add to your squad, come back to FriendMatch to meet more people.

Unlike a dating site, there is nothing wrong with going back to FriendMatch for more friends once you’ve made your first successful match!

We live in a fast-paced modern world. Maybe we keep so busy that we ran out of time to make new friends. Sometimes we move to a new location and need new friends in our area.

It's also fun and interesting to connect with new international friends from around the world. If you run a small farm in Vermont, U.S.A., wouldn't it be cool to compare farming methods with someone from Tuscany?

Imagine having a new friend to show you the best local spots next time you travel!

The Internet helps us to find all the things we need – groceries, dates, shopping, work – so why shouldn’t it also help us to make new friends?

It is up to you to make it safe!

While it is now commonplace for people to meet in person after meeting online, you should always use a cautious approach when moving a friendship or relationship from online to real life.

Please check out our safety tips page for common sense advice to stay safe when meeting new people.

Sometimes FriendMatch is like going to a social gathering. You’re wearing your wedding ring, talking with your friends, and then some creep comes over and says, “Hey! Did it hurt? When you fell from heaven?” Or whatever pickup line. We try to make it really clear that FriendMatch is not meant for dating, but some people just don’t get it!

You can use the "block" button to block and ignore this member, or you can use the “report” button on their profile to report the member if they are acting inappropriate.

Thank you!

FriendMatch is still a work in progress. Join us on Facebook to share your ideas, or send them straight to us at [email protected].
