hard to judge online people

You could make friends from the internet in terms of exchanging numbers and then meeting up or having daily/regular chit chats... but just randomly talking online without ever having that sense of reality is something I could never understand. I became close to a blogger a couple years ago and started talking to her regularly on the phone, webcam chats, that sorta thing and eventually met her too a couple of times... we still talk to this day and send each other parcels and whatnot on our birthdays and holidays... I just wish she lived closer... itd be so much easier. Having said that I prefer real life friends over internet buddies... but thats just me.

I dn't see the point of an online friend, or rather to be close with somebody, that i'd never have any intention of meeting or talking on the phone with. Even if they live in antoher country, i'd still have the intention of meeting them when i got a chance.

yes, for me i get attached really easily to people online and offline :hinna:

if they leave all of a sudden, I feel totally empty for a while :frowning:
