Interests
It`s always best to choose somebody who haves the same interests as you. Whether it be book, tv show or movie-related, your chances of connecting with someone online is better if you can instantly hit it off by liking the same things. By opening that door, you will see enjoy how like-minded your online pen pal really is and you will be able to spark good chat conversations because of that.
Same Schedule
You should always choose somebody that is typically online when you are online. If you`re trying to connect with someone who works the graveyard shift while you work the day shift, it won`t work. They should be someone who is always available when you are. The more you chat with this person, the more likely it is you will build a great friendship or relationship with them.
Morals, Values and Beliefs
If you are a religious person, it`s best to hunt for someone who shares the same moral beliefs as you do. If you are Christian, you will probably not connect with someone who is Atheist…even if you share common interests. It`s easier to accept differences among people that have been in your life for a long time and it`s difficult to accept differences from a total stranger.
