which friendship/relationship is more long lasting: net or personnally?

Hi Sheena! It is not easy to make a comparison between real life relationship and virtual relationship. Both are different, therefore, cannot be compared. There are some handicaps in virtual relationship, which prevents you to know about the reality of the other person, while if you are in a relationship in real life, you can get to know many things about the other person. You can inquire about him/her through his/her known to persons and can make your own assessment about him/her through your own instincts. However, in virtual world, you need to rely on the other fellow solely on his/her wordings and what he/she communicates you. No doubt, some relationships which start through virtual world end in a marriage or real life relationship, but the there number would be few. What is your own opinion about it? Good Post!!

You have started a good discussion. I have a different set of mindset for both these friends because I have never personally met any online friend but I have meet many of the personal friends online too. Making friends online is really good thing so that we may come across different cultures and understand different things. I am not in touch with my school friends personally since last couple of years but I am alway in touch with them through internet of telephone. I still think that personal friends are long lasting as we know each other very much and can also remain touch through internet and mobile phones. I am not saying that online friendship is not long lasting it can even be better if both are willing to meet after a good duration of being online friends.

I think personal relationship are more lasting than that came from the net... Although my buddies and haven't seen each other lately, we can always text each other and call each other on the phone. We know where we can always reach other or maybe visit their family or their place when we miss each other. Mostly on the net we message, send it to them and hope they receive when they get online. It is rare that we get something lasting on the net... in ten friendships/relationship we experience, I think only one will be truly worthwhile.

I also have seen some of my friend do Internet love but after some day they all broke up and then I realise that with out seeing trust a guy or girl is not good because on net they will only show their kindness not their bad qualities

As far as which kind of relationship is mor elong lastinng, that really depends on the person. There are some people who have online firendships that last years and are really in depth and substantial, but these people, for whatever reason, have a harder time maintaining irl friendships. With others, it's the other way around. They forge longer lasting and meaningful friendships irl, but any internet interaction with others is very fleeting. So there's no definitive answer here. It really does depend on circumstance.

Of course the personal relationship is more long lasting. In the real life, you can distinguish whether a person is responsing genuinely, which cannot be realised on the internet. So usually the friends in life are more secere than those on net. Can you tell for what percent is the true information your online friends told you? I'm afraid it's hard to say....

Personal relationships, of course. What is the use of having a relationship online and never see the person? Of course, a relationship may commence online and get into real life. But I don't think a purely online relationship would last. Cheers and happy Mylotting

I think personal friends are a more lasting relationship. However, the internet is a good way to keep in contact with your personal friends. this can enhance your personal relationship even more. on the other hand you could also choose to meet your online friends and form a personal relationship. I think just that by just talking to a person online you really don't know who they are just what they are presenting.

for me nothing beats a personal relationship whether for friendship or a personal relationship.You may met friends online that later on become your very good friend but personal friends you've met will always have roots in you for physically we are humans, we tend to be aware of the intimacy we get from a person to person rather than just talking through cam or net.

Hi there, I think it depends on how much you value your friendship with each other. there are a lot of people make friends on net, some of them find find she/he have a lot in common, you will pay a lot attention on this people. And after a while of communicating with him/her, you will find him very nice and you'll take it personal. I have been net a friend that I know from the net in real life and now still contact with him. And about your friendship with people in real life, if you dont regularly contact with them, your friendship might be fade away. Anyway, that is my opinion. Have a nice day!
