Wondering how to best kickstart your journey with Gofrendly and meet new girlfriends? We decided to pose this question to those who are truly in the know – our members! So, keep reading, and we hope the tips below will inspire you to take that first step and connect with new people.

Embrace Openness

“Dare to be open! Consider what you seek from new friendships and don’t shy away from expressing your desires. Only by doing so will you connect with others who are seeking the same. Be willing to share a piece of yourself and your life experiences. It’s a welcoming way to invite someone into your world. This increases the likelihood of receiving the same openness in return. Don’t hesitate to take the initiative and invite others to activities right away! While a classic coffee meet-up is delightful, experiencing something together can make a stronger impression. Invite someone to a concert, go mushroom hunting, or have a Netflix hangout at someone’s place. Dare to invite others into your world! Those who are open and engaging are the kind of people you want in your life. It won’t feel awkward at all, and if it doesn’t quite click, just try again.”

Be Clear About Your Intentions

“It’s a challenging question! In general, it’s crucial to be clear about what you seek to gain from the new friendship. We all have different relationships to fulfill various needs in life. You may be looking for a cultural companion or someone to practice with.”

– Linda S, Gothenburg

Avoid Prolonged Chatting

“My advice to fellow app users is not to chat endlessly. Begin with introductions and getting to know the other person a bit, then swiftly suggest meeting for coffee or a glass of wine. Prolonged chatting can lead to creating an inaccurate image of the other person, as written text can be challenging to interpret. It’s better to establish a clear understanding from the start!”

Initiate the Conversation

“Don’t wait for someone to reach out to you; dare to initiate contact with those you sense a connection with!”

– Carita S, Hudiksvall

Plan Group Activities

“I highly recommend organizing an activity and inviting multiple people. This allows you to gauge your compatibility with others and see if any other girls click with each other. I’m thrilled to have discovered the app, and I’ve quickly made very close friends!”

Create an Appealing Profile

“Present yourself well in your profile – describe your interests, your personality, and what you’re looking for in a friend, with a touch of humor if possible. This is something that piques my interest and encourages me to reach out to the person! Dare to make the first move, ask questions, and keep the conversation flowing. In my experience, a stagnant conversation can fizzle out quickly. Most importantly, be yourself – this is one of the most crucial tips I can offer. Be genuine and avoid trying to be someone else. It’s quite apparent when someone is being insincere. You’ll find friends who are authentic and appreciate you for who you truly are!”
