Do you agree with this? Can online friends be your real circle of friends? Is it possible? What are your experiences about this?

i think making good on line friends is just as difficult as making friends in real life . You have to be just as careful but yes you can form real working relationships here. I met my girlfriend on line and we have been together for three years now blessed be

I can only say this My partner - who I met online - is my best friend and is totally a real friend. My closest friend - I also met online - and now we spend most saturday evenings together Online friendships can be as real and valid and any other friendship

Yes, they can be. I think it also depends on the intentions of both people though. I am very close to a handful or women that I met on another MB and we've been posting to each other for a little over a year. I consider them to be close friends and look for them when I get online. I care for them very much, and know that the feeling is mutual.

i guess they could be if you got really close to them. I believe that once you are regularly meeting someone from online in real life then it is a real friendship

They 'can' be real friends. If you have a close, personal friendship. There are so many categories of friends these days. I have several close friends'online'.

yes they are. Most topics are easy to discuss online or over phone or on chat than face to face.
