Penpal?

As lame as I might sound, I found some old letters from a friend when we used to write to eachother the other day.

&It made me think, I want a penpal :)
I'm female, 17 from bristol UK, anyone interested? :D

aww, that's a great idea. i unfortunately cannot be relied upon to write/post letters, so i'd be a fail, but i hope you find someone.

I'm sure me and someone else sort of did this on ryl, were we posted addresses in the members forum only (it did get closed as it was posting home addresses!) but people continued by swapping pm's first, I wrote to a gurl from Ireland who liked cats got one reply and then I didn't write back as I don't like cats:P

I think you'd have to be really, really careful about giving details out over the internet - especially addresses, especially when this is posted on a public forum. I'd almost definitely say please don't exchange addresses, worst case scenario someone sees this & joins wanting to get your address. That's unsafe!

Perhaps being an e-mail pal is a good idea instead, to exchange some e-mails with someone? It's safer for now, anyway. Let's face it, you don't know who is behind the computer to just be giving out addresses.

definitely a good point, i was thinking of this earlier but got confused because surely we need to know people's addresses for sending Harley Bear? buT ULTIMATELY IT'S Better to be safe.

20 from Newcastle. Surely if the members we give our addresses to are known, regular members, it should be alright?

I mean, we go to meets with random people, and post harley bear etc.

I think it'd be a rather interesting idea, however I'd say e-mails unless you know the person. I'm new to RYL but regardless of time I'd feel unsafe giving out my home address. And I'm one of those people who only get e-mail bills and reading club excerpts. :) But the reading club is fun, though.

I agree 100% with this,I thought i knew someone and she turned out to be a bitch so be really careful,email sounds a great idea.

Emails are so easy though, there's nothing personal about them.

There's no opening the mail.

But it is true, it could bring in weirdos.
