When strangers become friends!

Yes I have. I have to wait for a bus at a bus stop at a mall. It is the only bus stop so all the buses stop there. While I was waiting A guy struck up a conversation with me and we were friends ever since. The funny thing is that we Only see each other at the bus stop. He doesn't know my name and I don't know his.

Your story is so neat. Hope you remain in touch with her and enjoy your chats about stamping cards. Great to know someone who shares your interest in crafts. Several years ago, when I got my first computer, I was so new and didn't know where to start so I searched and found a craft chatroom. I did alot of listening to others chat and finally became involved. Hit it off right away with a lady from California. After several months of chatting, we exhanged email addresses and finally phone numbers. We talked several times and I flew to meet her and her husband. Wonderful, fun people. It's been awhile since I visited her but we still remain in close touch. This friend is so much fun and each time I visited (6 or 7 times) we did plenty of laughing since we had so much in common. Another time I was in Walgreen's and happen to run into someone I met many years earlier through another friend. We exchanged email addresses and are now very close friends. We meet for lunch, when our work schedules allow, or dinner.

well aren't all people strangers until they become friends? But anyways, this is cool for you though, it is fun to have penpals and especially if they share in a craft that you love to do!

What a lovely thing to happen, thats really nice! The only time that ever really happened to me was about 5 years ago when I lived in another house, I was on a rough estate and had no friends. Anyway the people next door moved out and because it was a rough estate I was a bit worried about who was going to move in, but the woman that moved in was perfect, we hit it off straight away, had so much in common it was uncanny and even had 3 children of the same age. We both did not fit in the area we were living in and were not accepted by others and so it was a very close friendship and we went through a lot together. Unfortunately she moved about a year ago and lives quite far away now and with life taking over things as it does we do not see each other hardly anymore. So I am back to how it was before, but I have moved so I am not stuck in the rough part of town anymore, but I still do not seem to fit in and so I am back to being on my own with no friends (apart from my hubby and children, but that is not exactly the same as having a close girlfriend).
