Carl... you can try sign up with King at https:\\king.com. You will be asked for email and date of birth if I remember correctly. You will be assigned to a group of random people in your geographical area... these will be your game friends, with whom you can exchange lives, tickets, and boosters on the following King games: Candy Crush, Soda Crush, Farm Heroes, Diamond Digger, Bubble Witch 2, Pet Rescue, and Pepper Panic.

You don't have to give up playing on Facebook completely, either.

King allows you to sync your progress with Facebook. You can switch between playing on one or the other. I did this and it works fine. It brought over all my scores from Facebook, originally. Since then, I've occasionally loaded Candy Crush in Facebook, and I see all of my progress and scores from King.
