I met my wife in Slowly. I can't reccomend it enough for a Pen pal experience.
i'd not heard of Slowly; googled, etc.
how sort of perversely lovely (i say it in an admiring manner), to meet in a gloriously old-fashioned manner on such a modern platform!
love it.
I've made many good, long-term friends through penpal sites, including my wife as well!
What a neat idea. It's basically email, but it knows where you are and where your pen-pal is, and doesn't deliver the email until the appropriate snail-mail time between those locations passes? Brilliant.
