are chat friends for real

I don't think you should give up just yet. Sometimes life gets in the way of the internet and you just have to deal with it. If he says it is just work that is probably all it is. I haven't got many close online friends so I don't have a lot to compare with but I have found that in most cases sometimes your close chat friends will leave for a few weeks but be back later.

First off, I started in chat rooms back about ten years ago. With the experience I gained I would say that 'chat friends' are rarely long lasting and tend to replace a real life for a period of time. It's fun and all and there are some genuine people, just few and far between. This guy may very well be the real deal. If you thing about it if he has been working so hard all this time he may have gotten some raises and more responsibility to go with it. Always be sceptical. Don't believe all you hear and very little even of what you see.

Yes,it can be real. Because the person on the other side of the line is a real human being,not a robot. Of course there are lots of people who chat just for fun or take advantage of girls online. It is the same case in reality. I mean there are both good and bad people online or reality. The problem is that those bad people think it is easier to play others online than in reality. Because they can easily put on a beautiful clothes on their ugly heart. Hi, as for the guy you mentioned. I think he must encountre something in work or life, so spends less time online now. Has he mentioned something related to love to you? If you have not talked about love and have gotten very well along with each other. I don't think he is stopping befriend you any more. If you have talked about love before, and now he talk with you not often, then may he want to make some changes.

I personally consider ALL of my friends real. I'll always consider them real until they prove me wrong. Some people believe that friendships last only for so long before the people lose interest and they go their separate ways. I don't agree with that. I'm a friend for life, not for a certain period of time. Now about this guy, something must be going on in his life to not be online as much as he used to be. Maybe he met a new girl? Who knows. Only he can tell you.

greetings! do you have feelings beyond friendship for this guy? somehow i sense that you do and you expect him to reciprocate the feelings. i can't really say if you're even friends in the first place since for me, frienship requires actual shared experience. i hope things will work out for both of you.

I think maybe your friend is just too busy these days. You have communicated with each other for more than a year and I think it is enough to both of you consider each other as a friend for real. And real friends needn't contact each other very often to show their friendship, right?

It's normal. Maybe your chat friend was busy and got something else more important to do. You need to expect that your chat friend may not be there all the time to chat with you. I am sure some other time your chat friend will be able to talk to you again when his time permits. Don't think negatively yet.

I believe that chat friends are real. however, one must be really careful when chatting with people they really dont know. I dont think that guy stopped being a friend to you.I guess you just have to believe and trust him if he says he is busy. He might really is. Maybe you shouldn't get too attached to your chatmates too. Goodluck.

Yes,, I do believe that some of my friends in the net area really good people. They gave me advises all the time and its really a great thing being able to find friends in the net.

I don't think so.. I also have an online friend, just one- and we chatted for almost a year too, about life and school and anything - but he got busy with school (college) and we don't chat anymore.. Now that I'm in college I can't chat anymore using yahoo. I don't even see that online friend anymore. We're both busy..

I have such friends. Saying I am his or her good friend and chatted regularly, suddenly they ceased talking to me even though they are online. Even after I wrote 'Hi', still no respond. It's hurt especially when we really consider them our good friends. But, people are different. Maybe they do not mean it when saying we are their friends, or maybe they found others who are more fun to talk to. Who knows. I guess most of the chat friends are not real.

He didn't stop being your friend on the context of online friends. Yes we can find great friends on line but i think the depth of friendship isn't that as much as friends that we have offline. In fact most online friends i have are just friends with benefits. What do i mean by this? It means they only want to be friends because they can get something from me! But i am not saying that all of them are like that since there are sincere ones too. But finding a true friend online is something that is very rare.

personally speaking, why we want additional friends,as one will have his classmates,collegues and family members and old friends is they are not enough to talk with us, why going for chat rooms to find more friends.........

I already did that chatting with one person to another to make friends on yahoo chat room. But none of them seems to be honest. They always say thing opposite to what they really are. They are full of lies. The good part of chatting is you can't be bored cause there's always someone you can talk to the chat room. You can always say whatever you like and be naughty whenever you like too.
