Having pen pals seems like an old idea in our world of instant electronic connections. There's something nice about taking the time to write a letter, though, and about getting to know someone through their words. Communicating through letters can turn into a romantic connection, or just be a different kind of friend.
Back before email and free long distance, when a person wanted to communicate with someone who lived far away, they wrote a letter. Letters took time to write, and time to travel from the writer's door to the recipient's. Each letter was a little story, a snapshot of the writer's life at that moment. In pre-internet days, "pen pals" or "pen friends" were friends who kept in touch by sending letters, written with a pen (or pencil or typewriter). Writing was a way for people who lived far apart to learn about each other’s lives. They might be "introduced" through a school project, a fan club, a group interested in travel, or one of many other ways. Often, they never met in person. By exchanging letters, they shared mutual interests and taught each other about different cultures, religions, and lifestyles. Some of these relationships lasted for years, decades, or lifetimes. Pen friends still exist, but these days the connection often begins online. The "letters" are usually e-mails or IM's, and the communication is instantaneous.
