Or use our Advanced Search (select "Search"�in the Member Panel on the left�side of any page)�to pick and choose from many different matching options. Once you've created the perfect search, save it so you can use the same search again with ease.�

If you find too many matches, look for someone nearby. Narrow your search down to those living around your own zip code (not available in all areas).

Plan on being out of town? Search for other members living near your destination and meet up while away.

Forums

Robust forum software allows you to post topics on issues from meditation to art to affirmations and anything in between. Lively forums are a great place to find advice, discuss issues and make new friends.

Forums, sometimes known as message or bulletin boards, allow our members to participate in on-going, in-depth discussions. This is different from "chat", where conversations are brief, visible only in real time to current participants, and disappear after a few moments. Forum posts are longer and remain visible allowing richer exchanges to take place.� All registered members whether Free, Silver or Gold have complete access to our Fourms.

Full Featured Chat

Full featured chat allows you to have real-time chat with other members. Multiple chat rooms are available for different chat topics. Meet new friends! Chat is a great way to find new friends or partners, for fun, shared feelings, questions and developing long term relationships. Meeting and socializing with people online is both fun and entertaining.

Private chat sessions are also available for those�more private, vulnerable conversations with close friends.� The Chat Rooms are only available to Gold Members.

Internal Mail Messaging

A fully integrated messaging system is available for you to email other members anonymously and safely. By using our messaging system, you won't have to reveal your real e-mail address or other personal information.

You can also create custom mail templates if you find yourself sending the same message again and again. When creating a templates you can make use of "template variables" for you to personalize your messages. Automatically include your profile data with any message that you send.�� All registered members are able to use our Mail Messaging system.� However, Free members are not able to initiate Mails, only respond to them.� Silver and Gold members have full and complete use of the Internal Mail Messaging system.

To initiate a private message, first find the profile or picture of the person with whom you wish to communicate.�� Beneath each picture, click on the words "Send Message".� Then, complete the "Subject" box�for your message and type in the contents of the message itself.� When finished, click the "Send" button.� You also have the option of sending a copy of your profile with your message.
