At Amintro we are focused on building friendships in safe and meaningful ways. And while we strongly believe that most people are here for the same reasons you are – to make new friends, tackle new adventures and build relationships, it is still important to be vigilant, self-aware and follow your gut instincts when meeting new people, both online and in person. As such, we have compiled a list of safety tips we recommend all our members follow. Additionally, we provide a private and secure communications service which lets you talk to a potential friend without needing to give them your personal contact information until you’re absolutely ready. We even provide several ‘ice breaker’ questions to get the conversation started!

When two members of the Amintro community have enough in common, Amintro will send both members a Friend Suggestion. A Friend Introduction, alternatively, is sent by a member of the community who has read your profile and wants to connect with you.

Q: What happens if no one is matched with me?

As Amintro is a growing community and our friendship criteria is high, it is possible that you may not receive any Friend Suggestions when you first join Amintro.

We will, of course, notify you when we have Friend Suggestions, so that you don’t miss out on making new friends.
