When Chris gave me Helen's phone number I felt a little awkward calling her at first but we soon got talking and three hours slipped by as we discovered how much we had in common. Just that conversation was worth the joining fee. Now we catch up regularly for coffee, shopping, lunch or a movie. I have introduced Helen to some of my friends, and I have met some of hers. It was such natural way of expanding my network. Thanks Chris.

The philosophy behind our service
Friendship is the most important relationship we can have. Yet often the most neglected. To spend time with a good friend, to share all that you have in common is more important than we think. In fact we assume that friendship is as natural as breathing. Yet to make and maintain good friends is not always that easy. Our networks diminish for many reasons; friends marry, relationships change, jobs change, lives change. 'Someone to laugh with' is the best medicine -- Amazingly, the value of friendship is now being validated by medical research. People with strong friendship networks are healthier and happier. They are less stressed and have higher self-esteem. Many of us associate self esteem with a sexual relationship and therefore do not place enough value on nurturing our friendships.

Social Reformation
Our lives have turned upside down; many are not marrying (40% of people will not marry), many marriages do not last, those in marriages are realising that one person cannot be expected to supply all their needs. People are more mobile, often living hundreds of miles away from family members. Family networks are not as supportive as they once were. Multi-faceted lifestyles place many demands on us. All of these facts mean that friendship takes a higher priority.
What about practical issues like finding a travel companion? Or you may be working from home and need some business input - someone just around the corner may be in the same position. You could even get a neighbourhood home office lunch club together.
Perhaps you have a specialist hobby and want to locate others with the same interest in your vicinity - but selectively, on personality and lifestyle issues not just the hobby alone. This database is that sophisticated.
Single and not sure how cool it is
Rather than expecting a relationship to solve all our problems, if we see the value of solid friendship we will be more self reliant and interesting. Then, if we form a relationship it will be more likely to succeed because we are more independent. Instead of focusing on the fear of being single why not appreciate our present friends and create new and better friendships. A wide range of friends means a larger arena in which to express ourselves, and the variety leaves us fulfilled in diverse ways.
Single again and loving it
The newly single person often relishes their freedom. The freedom to pursue their own personal interests; often things their partner didn't want to share. Perhaps they realise that the relationship was not solidly based on friendship.
Or that relationships are not all there is in life. This person places a high value on the few friendships that survive the breakdown of a relationship. They also want to establish more friends to share their new-found independence.
Getting more out of a relationship or marriage
People in relationships need good friends. Perhaps your partner has interests that you do not share. New friends will add variety to your leisure time. You may introduce some of these new friends into the activities you share with your partner as well.
A friendship register makes sense
So we all agree that friendships are important. It is therefore quite appropriate to access friendship through the peoplebrokers just as we happily use agencies to find a job or to find someone to share a house with.
Using our service to find important new friends only means that you are busy not that you are unable to make new friends. Joining our central register brings in a domino effect because you can include your existing friends, and you and your friends will meet the friends of other members. The register aims to help people circulate in areas they would not normally access in their day to day life.
How it works
Chris Kaine & Associates Pty. Ltd. has developed a simple way to put like-minded people in touch with each other. The comprehensive questionnaire is a lot of fun. You nominate all your current leisure interests and new activities you would like to try (if you had someone to try them with). If you want company for the opera season, meet for a coffee and discuss it. If you would like to plan a bush walk or other group activity, get a planning group together and decide how to organise it. Make yourself available to meet other people who realise the potential of new friends in their life.
