Friendship starts basically anywhere. It can be in terminals, shops, and in odd places. In reality making friends either personal or virtual is really a risk. as relationships outside family is a risk, we never know what could happen; but that is what makes the world interesting. I guess in anyway, better use discretion in anything, use discretion in friendships.

There's nothing wrong with making friends online. You just have to be careful with how open you become to this friend online. Make sure that you still do not give out specific details about you- address, financial information, etc. These information can be used for fraudulent transactions. Meanwhile, if you want to make friends for the purpose of exchanging ideas with one another, then that's okay. Just consider mylot; we have a lot of friends here but we don't give out specific information about ourselves.
