An Armed Forces Penpal - What’s All the Fuss About?

You may have heard about people who have forces pen pals. What does that mean? It means you write to someone in the British forces. Often communicating with people back home is what keeps our soldiers going. It gives them hope they will come home and that there’s something to come home to.

UniformDating is not a forces pen pal site; we’re a dating site. The people who join our site are looking for likeminded singles to get to know and, if there turns out to be chemistry, date. However, as many soldiers are away in training camps, or at war, it helps them make friends and find dates back home. In essence it starts off as you being their pen pal if they’re away and can’t meet up with you immediately. And who hasn’t fancied having an old fashioned pen pal at some point? It’s a tad romantic, isn’t it?!

When reaching out to someone through a message, tell them something you liked about their profile and ask a question, so they have something to get back to you about. For example, if they talk about traveling, or cooking in their profile, then ask them for their dream destination, or favourite chef. Keep your first message short and sweet.
