Yes. Everyone is vetted before being matched, so you can feel comfortable and safe from your very first conversation.
How often would I talk to my match in Dragley Beck?
Entirely up to you. Some people enjoy a weekly call, others prefer more regular contact. The Natter Network fits around your life, not the other way round.
