Being part of the Stitch “family” has been just a fantastic and wonderful experience. Just over a year ago I realised I had to make an effort to join something, somewhere, somehow. The members I’ve come to know will be part of my life for a long time. Stitch has been such a positive experience and has brought me back to life. I want to thank everyone at Stitch for giving me something to look forward to again.

How on earth did you attract such amazing people to Stitch? I am so amazed … such a far cry from the simplistic and quick conversations everywhere else. I really am blown away. Keep on doing what you are doing, Stitch is so unique.

Stitch is a really amazing way to meet people, with the screening you do, I didn’t feel vulnerable to scammers. I honestly signed up to Stitch to look at group outings, holidays & discussion forums. Curiosity made me check out a couple of profiles, I only clicked interested on a couple, I had a brief chat with one gentleman, and he & I had a couple of chats, long phone call, and met face to face. We've been very happy since.

Thanks for Stitch. It is a great place to meet real people. There is no other place that I have found to make these kinds of connections on a daily basis and I look forward to our sharing time. You have helped make the world a village for so many of us and I thank you for that.

Stitch opened that door for me to allow me to step outside of my little bubble of a world and be creative and less a hermit of habit. I really don’t like being so alone, Stitch allows me to meet not just men, but people of all walks of life. Some widows like me, some wild and “out there”, and some just needing to know that everything is going to be alright.

I really don’t know what I would do without Stitch in my life right now. I was on a downward spiral of depression. Then I took a chance and decided to check this thing called Stitch out never knowing what a blessing it was going to be in my life. I have a few tears running down my cheeks as I type this out. But really, I just can’t thank you enough!! I feel alive again.

Moreover, our members shape our approach to community. 

The people you meet are also the ones creating and organizing community events for seniors, which makes every gathering feel more personal and welcoming. Community Champions are members who volunteer to help bring people together locally, simply because they enjoy being part of the community.

Through our platform, you don’t have to look for a nearby adult community center to have an active adult social life.

And when getting out isn’t always possible, you can still stay connected to your adult friendship network through online discussions and one-on-one conversations from home. These virtual options mean you can make meaningful connections in ways that suit your lifestyle and preferred pace.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What are some dos and don’ts when making older adult friends?

Building new friendships later in life is about being open, kind and curious about others. Whenever you’re up to it, say yes to new experiences and join activities, like social clubs for women and men, when the opportunity feels right. Take the time to listen and participate in conversations, as this builds understanding and connection.

Genuine friendships often develop at their own unique pace. Most importantly, be yourself, as the strongest connections come from feeling comfortable and accepted for who you are. Trust and familiarity are built over time through small shared moments and regular conversations. 

Where can I find social groups for adults?

We created Stitch specifically to help people over 50 find social groups, companionship, friendship and connections, with or without romantic intent. Our adults friend finder platform offers a secure, welcoming atmosphere to foster real connections and make friends later in life.

How often can I interact with my new friends?

Our adults friend finder approach encourages social connections beyond initial events. You can choose to engage in online chats, attend meet-ups, both physical and virtual, or message individual members directly. 

Whether your ideal pace is daily or weekly, you choose based on what feels right.
