At Senior Chatters, we believe that building meaningful friendships should always feel safe, comfortable, and enjoyable. That’s why we’ve introduced our Friendship Connections feature—designed to help you connect with fellow members in a way that gives you full control over your friendships.
What Are Friendship Connections?
Our Friendship Connections feature is like sending a friendly handshake online. When you send a connection request to someone on Senior Chatters, you’re opening the door to a new friendship. But here’s the best part: both members must accept the connection before you can start messaging each other privately. This makes every friendship mutual and ensures you’re both on the same page from the very start.
Why Use Friendship Connections?
This feature is about safety and trust. With Friendship Connections, you’re always in control of who can contact you. You’ll never receive unwanted messages from people you haven’t connected with first. You decide who to connect with, and if things change, you can simply unfriend or disconnect at any time.
Here’s how it works:
- Send a Connection Request: If you’d like to get to know someone better, send them a Friendship Connection request.
- Wait for Their Approval: Once they accept, you can start messaging privately.
- Unconnect Anytime: If for any reason you no longer want to stay in touch, you can easily unconnect. This removes their ability to send you messages.
How to Build Friendships with Confidence
1. Explore Profiles: Take a look at member profiles and find people who share your interests. Maybe someone’s into the same hobbies or has written a blog post that resonates with you.
2. Send a Friendly Request: Once you’ve found someone interesting, send a Friendship Connection request. It’s a friendly way to show you’re interested in chatting.
3. Accept and Start Chatting: If they accept your request, you’re free to start messaging and building that connection—no pressure, just genuine conversation.
4. Stay in Control: At any point, if you feel a connection isn’t right for you, simply unconnect. This instantly ends the private messaging between you and the other member.
