FACTS
- 45,000 schools and universities are on the website.
- You can put information about yourself on the website.
- You can read about old school friends.
- You can visit the website free.
- For a small fee, you can contact old friends by e-mail.
Friends Reunited, the website which has become incredibly popular in Britain, is becoming a worldwide phenomenon. There are now sites in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, and in different countries in Europe, including Germany, Spain, and
os Italy.
It all started in July 1999, when Julie Pankhurst decided she wanted to contact some old school friends, but discovered that the Internet couldn't help her. Her husband, Steve, started the Friends Reunited site in the spare room of their north London
io home.
At first, only 20 to 30 people visited the site. Now, more than ten million people have become members.
Why is it so popular? Steve Pankhurst is surprised at the success of the site, but he believes that everybody is curious and wants
is to know what old friends are doing now and how their lives have changed. Other people believe that there is a strong desire to get in touch with people who have been very important in our past. And of course, it leads to other things: old friends meeting up, boyfriends/girlfriends from the past, school reunions, group
zo holidays; people have found lost relatives, and there have been hundreds, possibly thousands, of marriages as a result of reunions. When a thousand visitors to the website completed an online questionnaire, Steve found out there were ten new babies. And who knows? There might be a lot more.

the most and       3 dating experience
® —
Twenty-five men and twenty-five women meet in a central location (usually a smart bar orrestaurant). Each man and woman go and sit at a table for two. They have three minutes to talk to each other.
Each person has a card where they write down the names of the people they meet. After three minutes, a bell rings. If you like the person, and want to get to know them more, you tick (/) their name on your card. So, if you tick eight people, and four of them tick you, you will have four people to meet later.
The women stay in their seats, and the men move on to the next table. This continues until all the couples have met each other.
At the end, you give your card to the organizer.
The next day, the organizer contacts you by e-mail and tells you the people who want to meet you again.
You'll meet other single people working in many different jobs. Some are secretaries, bankers, travel agents, IT professionals, media people, models, and airline pilots. They all want to meet people, start a conversation, and if you both like each other, meet again.
Of course that can happen, but it's important to be yourself. At first, everyone is a bit nervous, but after a while, you relax and then it gets easier to talk.
Here's what one of the customers said: 'It's funny, but when Steven first sat down opposite me, we looked at each other and I immediately felt relaxed. In three minutes we found we had a lot in common. Three minutes wasn't enough to get to know him, but it was enough for me to want to know more!'
dating when two people see each other and have a romantic relationship
