I met a friend I love very much here. I am happy to use this place. Maybe it would be better. I cant see where there was a place to send emojis or stickers

I have built meaningful global friendships thanks to this platform. The site does a great job of vetting individuals to avoid individuals looking for partners.

I found amazing pals here! Certainly no stalkers here. I am yet to try Snail Mail, though. Overall, I am having a wonderful experience with the website - easy navigation too.
