Online friends

I think that online friendships are okay to some extent, but people have to realise that there is much more to a friendship than just being able to see words on a computer screen. I have a lot of friends online, but I also have a lot of friends in "real life" and I think the trick is to get the balance right between the two. Also, you have to remember that not all people who you might meet online will be who they say they are. If you act with caution, you can make a lot of good friends online, indeed.

..on line friendships are ok. as long as its online. i dont think you should agree to meet people.you never know if what people say is true. they can tell you anything. they can tell you anything .you dont know anything about them.they can be a stocker/prevert

yeah i belive online friendship is okay.. why not haveing some online friends to share your thoughts..i usually use facebook to keep online friends and sometimes i log in to skype or msn to chat with online buddies.. however relationship between online friends are not that strong..

I believe that a friendship can be kept online, but only if there was prior real contact between the persons. Personally, I cannot be a real friend with somebody I never saw in flesh and blood. Maybe there are many cases when two person met through a social site and became true friends or even married, in the case when they were a man and a woman, but I don't know how this could happen. I need real contact with a person to decide who he/she really is. But this is only my opinion, my experience, I can easily be wrong.

Yes your right that it is indeed risky, probably because you personally don't know the person since you only met him/her online. But in the other side I think it's also good since you will meet different people in different part of the world. I think all you have to do is don't give 100 percent trust and don't give too much information just try to be friendly.

yeah~ i believe in online friendships. although it is not certain that the other person is telling you the truth or just making things up but there's no harm in trusting them while also reserving a little of your own. i guess you won't lose anything from making online friends. i guess it's only in the matter in keeping them since time will come that you won't have time for each other coz of time differences and whatnot

Dear friend, I do hope it depends upon the friend one get, and how comfortably they go further. Moreover I do not feel any bad in online friendship. But one should be careful in selected the right friendship. Any how it would be better not to get committed to an unknown stranger, even though I do have one online friend he is soo good to me and we like each others interactions.

Hi, I m 60% against it beside mylot or social networking sites like this. Otherwise sometimes it become danger to have online frnds

Hi, In a way online friendships are way more dependable than those in our real lives. This is because our facial gestures, our appearance and other such things don't take active participation in building online relationships. In online relationships we mainly depend on words, conversations. We interpret words and then make our choice. Whereas in case of real life relationships even though we have frequent conversations, these talks are often biased by superficial factors. If you are pretty, which I think you surely are, that factor will definitely play a role in all your real life relationships. This makes the relationship unreliable. If you know how to interpret a discourse you will be successful in online relationships too. Thanks. God bless you.

yah! but don't really trust them. hehe. the risk is pretty obvious some are users and your life is at stake. hahaha. safety fist!

Online friendships are a good thing. Some of us nowadays confide in online relationships more than any others. Just be careful about meeting the person for the first time. You never know hows out there. I would say if you go to meet them in public the first time.
