Some members found a coffee friend. Some found support after moving. Some simply felt less alone. The stories below are a living record of what Girlfriend Social was built to do.
“As l find when you get older it’s hard to connect with a sincere and honest friendship, but for me it gets lonely l stay active by working out, walking or riding my bike, it would be nice to have a female companion. To do activities with”
“I have been on the Girlfriend Social site for many years. This has given me the opportunity to find other women in my area who are also looking for friends. This site makes a difference in combating the epidemic of loneliness and makes a difference in improving social health.”
“I'm reaching out and hoping to meet some new friends. I hope I get responses and maybe even some pen pals. Thanks very much”
“I want to thank GFS for having an site where we can come together to discuss Love,family, problems and topics we have opinions on. I have met a few women and shared good times. All thanks to GFS!”
“I did a web search on "platonic friendships" and this site was in the search engine. I ended up meeting my best friend on here! We've been friends for almost a decade now! We are very close, almost like sisters! I couldn't have asked for someone better in my life than her. I've come back here from time to time, but I've realized that a lot of the profiles are dead profiles because no one logs in anymore. Which is why I'm going to delete my account. One life-long friend I've made here, and she is the best thing that has happened to me on here since I joined. I joined on here during a really rough patch in life, was not expecting anything to come of it. But we had both been on here at the right time, we were brought together for a reason. I couldn't have imagined that I'd meet someone who is exactly the same as me, but so drastically different from me. I couldn't imagine my life without my best friend/sister in it.”
“Interestingly it didn't take long at all for me to be matched with a super, kind warm hearted woman. We are such close friends now that thinking back to our first meeting ever feels like a lifetime ago. We get together with and without our SOs she lives just one city over from me that makes it easy to visit and when we can't see each other we text lots of love.”
“I am delighted to share that I have been able to befriend a really nice person who has a lot in common with me. We are having so much fun sharing our life stories. We live too far away to meet but our pen pal relationship continues to grow each week. Don't give up. friendships here can happen.”
“I’ve only been on here for like.. less then a day? I’ve messages a good handful of people, just trying to put myself out there and cast a wide net of people who have similar enough interest. So far, 2 replies and I’m really hitting it off with both of them! It’s such a relief to make friends on a website without loads of people only messaging you to hook up.”
“I moved to New Mexico recently. It is not easy to make friends here. YOUR SITE helped me connect with a lady on my street. I had to go to a Canadian site to meet my American neighbor. Thank you!!!”
“I met two of my best friends here. Thank you so much! I can't even begin to describe how much this website means to me. I hope you realise that your website is litteraly changing lives for the better”
“First off i am transgender and only about a year ago decided to quit worrying what others thought and be myself. So as a young child i did not get to have a group of girlfreinds or a girl bff. So having some other women to hang out with, text or whatever while just being me means more than i can say. It has been a dream to have that connection and trust and i have met two really great women on this site and i am thankful to girlfreind social for making it possible. :) Thank you!!”
“Hello i totally recommend this site. i came into this site looking for some good penpals because i was lonely and the only freinds i had are my blind girlfriend and her friendds as well. but they are all in middle and highschool. So i decided to be advatangerous and do this to make friends the same age as me. or a little higher . An so far i have 4 friends i talked to. And 1 friend as the admin. i am so greatful i came to this site. i feel welcomed and very appericated by my friends. so far”
“I have been on Girlfriend social since February 2020 before the Covid pandemic started. This app helped me understand myself and what I really wanted. I have met the greatest girls that supported one another and build up from this deadly virus. I grew within myself and along with others. Thank you Girlfriend social.”
“Just made an account and so far I’m enjoying it. I’ve already made a couple friends. It’s kinda hard to navigate through tbh without having to pay. I still really am enjoying the whole platform though thank you!”
“I wasn’t very confident that I would meet a girlfriend when I got on this site. I not only met a girlfriend but she is the sister and daughter I never had. We have been getting together regularly and we have plans to travel when the covid is no longer causing restrictions. We both prayed to meet someone special and our prayer was answered. She is truly a blessing.”
“I have met a few friends on here that seem like life time friends! It’s easy to send a message and say hi , talk a while and meet up for drinks or food / hang out . I would recommend this site !”
“I am very blessed to have found this site it helped especially with the pandemic going on I was able to really connect with other females as this is a hard time for us all. It gave me hope after all with that being said I met 2 good females. Thank you!”
“I have been here only a short time, and have already met someone who has quickly become a dear friend!”
“I've been on the site for over 5 years, I met a couple nice ladies in Oregon where I first joined, but then I moved overseas and there weren't any english-speaking users near me there. Now I'm back on the east coast and really hoping I find my next best friend on here.”
“I was so very nervous about joining GFS but I am so glad I plucked up courage and took the plunge. I have had nothing but positive reactions from everyone I have chatted with and hope that I will make many new friends that will last a lifetime.”
“I have not yet met anyone, but this seems like such a great site.. I'm really hoping that I can finally meet some real genuine people on here... Who ever thought to make a site like this one, was spot on.”
“On the positive note, I feel ever so grateful as I met through GS a few women and we enjoyed socialising outside but I feel surprised there are too many mature members here who lack a basic courtesy to respond to initial emails even if it was a rejection”
“I am new to GFS... but I feel very welcome here. It's hard to make friends in the rural community I live in, so I am giving this a try and i have had a few fun conversations so far. Excited to create lasting friends using this website!”
“I was new to the state and knew not a single soul so I joined this site. I have met two people on here. The first one, we didn’t really mesh. But the second one I met in February has become my closest friend! We do a lot together. So it’s been great. I got back on here just a couple days ago after not being on in a really long time to maybe find a couple more friends. Great site!”
“I have so far made 2 close friends off of this website. It definitely works!”
“I've been on GFS for a couple of years now, and I have managed to meet several great friends and build a small group of awesome women that I love to hang out with. I keep coming back to GFS to meet new friend and different friends because sometimes even friends of several years can drift apart as life takes you down different paths.”
“I met one of my bestfriends on this site years ago and I love her. We live down the street from each other, we travel together, and even have home work dates. I don’t know what I would do without her.”
“I've used this site over the last three or four years and met ten people or so. Some of them didn't always fit as friends, but all were wonderful people. I have yet to meet someone whom I regretted meeting. Sadly, the best ones (two of them) moved out of state. I'm still looking, though! Definitely this site does its job.”
“I joined about a year ago and I met someone who I immediately clicked with. It turns out that our paths had almost crossed multiple times throughout our lives but we always just missed each other. The strange thing is that we actually share a maiden name, so I think we were destined to meet and become friends. We have so much in common and we hang out whenever we can. Now, I consider her a sister and I can't imagine not having her always just a phone call or few taps away. Thank you Girlfriend Social for bringing us together.”
“Usually, it's a lot more difficult for me to get along with women and find real friends than it's been since I joined this site. We've already got 4 or 5 people and we met up at Panera yesterday. Really cool.”
“I found my best friend on this site three years ago, actually I was lucky coz we match so well she is very kind and intelligent we spent so much times together and Vacations too I have met her family she met mines and we are all friends now. Thank You so much for helping me get a friend.”
“I have been on gfs for 3 years and I made a very good friend here.been friends for 3 years now.Im a shy person but gfs has helped me come out of my shell to meet new friends.i would recommend the site to any ladies looking for genuine friendships.”
“I met one person already after a day and i was very unsure if I wud like me I hope to connect more and it hard to break the ice but go for It”
“I've met like five or so women from this site. The best one of all unfortunately moved to the other side of the country. I haven't had any bad experiences!”
“I met my best friend on GFS. We clicked right away and even though I have since moved out of town, we remain tight - I'm going to be her maid of honour!”
“I’ve met two people from this site . One in person and we have been friends since . It’s hard tho cuz we live in different towns . But still chat and keep in contact with”
“i joined GS from a couple years ago, i did in fact meet two people on here in person,one of them i didn't click with. but the other one i remain good friends with and we clicked straight away, we had more in common then i thought so it worked out so well for me.”
“I joined GFS a long time ago and met a handful of friends here. A few didn't work out however I cherish the ones who I've met here that are still in my life. Friendships take time to develop so if you are patient and willing then it will work.”
“I love this site..I am a little shy in person, and I usually put up a guard so people don’t really get to know me. This site pretty much breaks the ice for you. Can’t wait to meet some new friends :)”
“I have only been on this site for a couple days n have met(chatted) with a couple really nice ladies, hopefully we can become really good friends and hangout someday, thank you!!”
“I love girlfriend social. I met 2 wonderful ladies on here and after 2 years they are really really close friends still..... Actually all 3 of us are friends. One actually became my roommate lol. Can't rave about this site enough! Good luck "friending".”
“i have just joined but i have a new friend already”
“I met an awesome girlfriend on here about three years ago! We have became besties ;). Thank you Girlfriend Social! I am back on here in hopes of finding another good friend (one more couldn't hurt lol).”
“I actually have had much better luck with this site than other platonic apps/websites, i am really grateful to have met all of my close knit local friends from here,i am fairly active and still connecting with people on occasion. This site is really the one one that works.”
“I met a lovely lady from GFS more than a year ago and at first it was a slow start to find what exactly it was that we had in common and what would help us become long term friends. But through her eldest daughter (who is also a member of GFS) we became much closer friends and now meet up for meals and drinks and tons of laughter!! Over a year later, and i now concider her my bestie, she's always great at lifting me up when i feel blue and showing me that i am appreciated and liked. I'm very fortunate to have met such an A class special friend as her. Thank you GFS for helping to bring us together! x”
“I Have been on girlfriend social for about 5 years now. Im on every so often. I have net 3 ladies from this site and each has been a close friend for quite some time. 2 of them have moved away :( one didnt work out. Love this site. Would reccomend it to any lady looking for a new friend.”
“I have been using Girlfriend Social for 9 months and I absolutely love it. I enjoy meeting new people and gaining more friendships. It does takes time to develop friendships but it is really worth it in the end. This site is perfect for all women looking to make awesome friendship! I refer this site to many people and I have got positive feedback from everyone!”

“I have been using GFS for four years now and still love it! I have met up with several girls and they've all been great. Even though our friendships didn't last more than a few meet-ups, I still consider it a great experience and a way to push my shyness aside. I still get on frequently in hopes of finding a best friend!”

“so far i love gfs , hoping to make as many girlfriends as possible =)”
“I joined this site three years ago and didn't have any luck connecting with anyone. So I gave up and stop getting on here. So last month this website came back to mind. And I wanted to try again, I really want a best friend that I can connect with. So one day after making a new account, I made a friend the next day. And we hit it off right away, and now we are very close. We stay in different states but we talk everyday and video chat. We are making plans to visit each other soon. So thanks to this site I've made a good friend and will be my best friend soon. Wonderful website please join.”
“This site has been great in helping me meet new people”

“GFS can be a great tool to meet a best friend or close circle of friends, if the individual ladies re will to put in the time and energy. I met my best friend here. We have been friends for a little over five years now and I would not change it for the world. I am looking forward to make maybe another close friend.”
“I have made made many acquaintances over the years but two GOOD, quality friends through GFsocial (the best kind). Thank you!!!”
“I went to school for 7 years and was so busy with work and academics that I didn't make any friends post High School. So, I signed up for GFS. I didn't think I would meet anyone who was serious enough to build a friendship, but I was very wrong. Just after a few months on the site, I found two very good friends. I am very happy to have utilized this friend-making source!”
“Back when I was new to town, I was desperate to meet other women. I was unemployed and didn't really interact with anyone. I met a woman on Girlfriend Social who had also just moved to where I lived and we hit it off right away! We've been friends for five years now and she is one of my best friends. I highly recommend Girlfriend Social for meeting some new lady friends. It's a safe space to say hi and see what you have in common.”
“Within a couple of months of joining, I met my new friend. We were both surprised how many interests we have in common, and how well we get on. We now text each other every day and meet up often. Result! Thank you.”
“Hi there! I have been a member for many years of Girlfriend Social. I kept with it and I actually met my best friend on your site - I am now the maid of honor in her wedding!I can honestly say this website changed my life. Thank you so much and if you are thinking about signing up, do it now!”
“My name is Erica I'm a mom of a 2 year old son and I can honestly say I'm so happy I joined this site cause I have talked and met up with some awesome girls :-)”
“I love this website! I have met some really great girls that I expect to have in my life for a very long time!”
“I have met some friends through girlfriend social which has been great experience. I've gone out with a Bestie and we had great times we still in keep in touch. I want to make even more new friends, I think more experiences the better.”
“I met the most amazing friend on this site and we do so much together, have a lot of fun with each other. we meet at great places , have brunch do dinner and drinks, have a Christmas Thieves party every year, we are planning a painting class next . never a dull moment with us”
“I was having a hard time making friends once all my college friends moved away and I had felt like I tried everything. I went out a lot, tried meet ups, etc. but nothing was sticking. I remember joking with my mom one day how I wished there was site like a dating website, but for meeting female friends. I decided to randomly google it and I found girlfriend social! It took some time (so don't give up!) but I finally met some ladies who clicked with me and we had so many of the same interests. One became one of my best friends and I remained close with my other girlfriends until they moved away. We still keep up with one another, but I'm so glad this site exists.”
“I joined GFS in hopes of finding my "bestie"/ "soul sister" type of lady and this site led me straight to her! I'm so happy I joined - I love this girl to the moon and back. We share so much in common, and both were looking for a real connection, a real friendship, and we found it. Now I'm a bridesmaid in her wedding! I've found a life-long friend.”
“I'm so glad I joined GFS although some ladies do not response to your requests in the beginning. I stayed on the site and now meet up with three lovely ladies. We meet up a once a month for a coffee or a meal and now we all enjoy our new social life. It is nice to know you can text someone and they want to respond.”
“I've been on other sites where many ladies wanted to meet or chat just with ladies and would request "ladies only" to respond but they were still bothered by men. Well, this site is the perfect solution to that as it concentrates only on ladies finding other ladies for friends. Too busy to meet up in person? This site is still a great place to hang out in the forums with other ladies. In person or for chat friends this is a great site for gals.”
“I must say this is a great site to get to meet very nice ladies and I have had learning enlightening experiences. I met some wonderful people and had a great click with a local lady who is a wonderful friend and we have exchanged many texts and had some one on ones. We also exchanged Christmas cards and I am looking forward to our friendship growing. I hope to make many more wonderful friends here since everyone can always make more friends. I also met a long distant texting pal who I enjoy "chatting" with.”
“It takes a little time, but so far I am hopeful. I got to meet a very nice young woman for coffee, and I've messaged and texted with two others. There hasn't been a 'click' yet, but I give so much credit to the mindset behind this site. It's wonderful, easy to navigate, and given time and a little effort you can meet some truly wonderful ladies here.”
“When I joined Girlfriends Social my whole life changed. I made so many friends that I'm never at a loss when I wish to go out with company. Yesterday I met up with a few ladies whom I've originally met on this site and meet regularly as well as a new lady. We even arranged to organize a 2 week trip together to Spain next year. It's unbelievable. I am so happy.”
“I joined this site awhile ago and it took a little while but i actually met someone from this site and she and I are great friends and I am glad that i met her she and i talk daily! I also talk to others on this site too. It is a great way to connect with other women and nice to know that we are not alone out there and it is worth giving it a try!”
“I don't have a lot of confidence in going to meet new people and nowadays you can't just go up to someone and say 'Hi would you like to be friends and hang out?' you get strange looks, already I've had some great people to chat with, who we are already making plans to eventually meet. I feel better than I did before and will be wonderful to meet some new people to socialise with other than with my partner! :) Thank you Girlfriend Social!”
“I joined 4 years ago and found 3 of my best friends on this site. This is a great way for women to connect with each other:)”
“This is a wonderful idea for women who are looking to socialise and make new friends! Im glad I found the site! Its perfect for someone who is shy like me!”
“I love GFS!! The website is super user friendly, you can search for ladies in your area with similar interests and you can even chat with them online. I have been a member for over a year and a half and now have a group of ladies from GFS that I hang out with all the time. Even our husbands hang out together. There are no risks and you can move at your own pace…it was the best decision I made. Who has time to make friends when your career, kids, school and life keeps getting in the way. GFS gave me my social life back and a chance to share life’s adventures with great friends!!”
“I actually got to know a girl sammy on here pretty well. shes an awesome person and i really like that this website is giving woman a place to make friends that doesnt feel like a stupid dating site!”
“I've met one of my best friend on GFS. It has been over 4 years since we have met and I love this girl. If it had not been for GFS, I would not have her in my life now. We would not have shared our marriage announcements, children growing, and all the other special events we have shared together. We have been through so many ups and downs in our lives and it is a blessing that we have had one another. I definitely consider her my best friend.”
“I met a great friend a few years ago on GFS. We were to meet for coffee for the first time and I got a flat tire - she came and helped me remove my tire and take the flat to get fixed!! So glad I met such a great person for my very first experience on GFS! :)”
“For a person who's not quite outgoing, this was the best place to make friends. I've met a few kind ladies that have similar interests with me. Girlfriend Social has made socializing much easier and convenient.I like the fact that , i haven't met any fake 'people' like men posing as women, that's why i love the website more .Give it a shot ladies!!! you won't be disappointed.”
“I wish I had heard of GFS sooner! This site is amazing. It's been so hard to find friends my age with the same hobbies and interests until GFS! I'm chatting online with ladies from all over and local. I've met for lunch and mani/pedis, and I'm texting some that I've really clicked with. I love that I can move at my own pace. I can choose when, and if, I want to move things to meeting in person, texting etc. You just have to be willing to put some effort into chatting to get to know people better. Just moved or lost touch with old friends? I highly recommend GFS!”
“I think the idea of a social network for women to make friends is a genius idea! I have already made some nice girlfriends and I just joined. I know the kinks need to be ironed out so I am looking forward to girlfriendsocial.com growing and I love being a part of this network growing and making more girfriends!”
“I think the new GFS site is looking good. I look forward to making lots more friends with the improved match system.”
“Liking some of the features I'm testing out so far. :) This does seem easier to use than the old site.”
