Hi there and welcome to AstroPal 😀
This forum is born out of frustration with dating sites and not having an online home for LONDONERS
Astro? - because we're all made of stardust formed in stars millions of years ago - pretty special huh?!
Pal? - This is a space to make friends, pals, potential lovers and maybe even collaborators...
I could not believe that in a metropolis of over 8 million people there was no internet forum dedicated to Londoners & surrounds - only a political one. So I started Astropal 😀
You are one of the first to join and we are still in the early stages so please bear with us while we keep making it better. If you have a suggestion (friendly) there is a thread for that. All feedback welcome as long as you’ve done basic searches first.
It’s ok for others to have a different opinion. It’s what makes the world interesting. We don’t all have to agree with each other. Listen and learn and be open to asking rather than assuming.
Please be kind. It’s as simple as that. If you know what you type may hurt the other person keep it to yourself and don’t share.
This is a 24/7 space and will not be moderated at all times. We want this to be a supportive space but it is not a mental health forum. If you’re feeling very low and cannot keep yourself safe phone 999. If you need to talk to someone Samaritans are very good on 116 123 or by email jo@samaritans.org.uk
This is not a mental health forum but MIND Do have a forum - you have to really look for it on their website.
Please reach out to a trusted family member or friend if feeling very low and remember tomorrow is another day, a lot can change in 24 hours. Sleep on it, if you still need help in the morning you could always start with 111
*Hugs*
If you see someone is struggling don’t try and deal with it yourself, reach out to me/another admin or report a post.
Violent language of any kind aimed at any individual or group will not be tolerated.
If it’s not kind don’t say it. This is a supportive place and everyone is welcome.
Goodness knows London is tough enough.
Coming here should be like sitting in your favourite arm chair with a hot cuppa. So put your feet up and enjoy getting to know other Londoners in a space exclusively for you (& 8 million other Londoners).
