Welcome To The Make A New Friend Website
All of us know how good it feels to make a new friend. Loneliness is now a serious issue affecting the physical and mental well-being of individuals in all age groups. In a 2025 American Psychiatric Association poll, fully one-third of U.S. adults said they felt lonely at least once a week. One antidote to loneliness is friendship — having people with whom you can:
- share thoughts and feelings;
- exchange ideas;
- sympathize and empathize;
- gripe and vent;
- seek advice;
- trade experiences;
- or simply pass some enjoyable time.
MakeANewFriend.com, a not-for-profit corporation, helps people connect and make those friendships.
How It Works
-
1
Answering The Questionnaire
A few basic questions are required; the rest — about interests, values, life stage, how you like to spend time, and what you're looking for in a friend — are optional. The more you answer, the better the matches.
-
2
Choose How Often To Be Matched
Once, monthly or quarterly.
-
3
Receive Three Introductions
On your match date, our matching program compares your answers with other participants' and emails you three contacts: one high-compatibility match, one medium, and one with fewer but still meaningful things in common.

4
You Decide
Write to none, one, two, or all three. You can update your answers and resubmit at any time; you will never be matched with the same person twice.
You can review your questionnaire before submission or any time after to make changes, including matching frequency. Your questionnaire gets resubmitted automatically on your next match date and may yield new matches as more people join.
We won't ever sell, share, disclose or exchange your questionnaire, or any portion of its contents, with anyone.
