Hi there,

Thanks for viewing my post!

Since my interests included cultural exchange with people from other countries, I used several penpal-websites. I got some good penpals both of female and male there, but most of them stopped writing in two or three months...I also rejected the people looking for romance though.
And I realized that expecting a long-term relationship with penpal is not a good idea.

What do you everyone think?
If you have experience on this kind of thing, I would like to hear your stories.

Regards,

yubari

yep it is really happy to have a penpals or friends.
no one understand our feeling when we don't have anyone care.
we try to find a lot of web site to find a friend, penpals.
but when we just make friends a few weeks or months.
they start to forget us, have a new friends. stop mail or chat with us.
isn't that call a friend? isn't that call a Penpals?
i'm really don't understand much about this.
but i try to find friend, even i'm have a lot friends already.
but i still want more friends.
because our life if not have friends are really boring. aren't we?
ok let think about it. we come here to find friend, and penpal.
so just make friend with each other.
don't mind about culture, rich or poor, pretty or ugly, smart or not smart.
we are friends. don't think about all of this.
ok bye now. if i have write sth wrong. please forgive me.

I myself have been lucky. I have had about 25 penpals, and 22 still write to me. It has been 7 months, so I'm really happy about it! The best way for you to guess if you have chosen a good penpal is to read their profiles. If they give three words, it shows that they aren't really that interested. Look for long detailed profiles, and I'd be shocked if they stopped replying.
Look at http://www.teaching.com/keypals/ That is where I got all of my penpals.
Good luck!
