I have had access to the net only for the last 2 years and even inthose two years I have really not been able to make a good friend online. is it that good people dont wanna make friend and people who wanna make friends are not good

Yes it is possible, but they are far and few between, but that's just like real life isn't it? I've met some great people online that I have now known for years, some I have also met in person since!

not really, i don think so, i think that in order to make a friend, you need to be able to see him, you could have a good friedn on the net, but you need to meet him or her. people do find a partner, or get married with people theyve met online, however you need to see this friend if you really want to trust in him/her

yes,it is posssable to find good people,on line and become friends.
but,why should you be looking for friends online?
dont you live near anyone?
real people are the ones you should be talking to.
people hide there fears and secrets on line,and it a game to many,so you can look,but look out the door also.

I met one of my best friends in an AOL chatroom back about 7 years ago. She ended up being in my wedding 3 years ago and is still one of my very dearest friends. It is possible, you just have to be patient and find the right people!..the same thing goes for people you meet in real life!

I have found that I meet a lot of good friends online.. though of course you always have some who are not very honest or ones that come and go .. but actually I would say about 75% of the ones I've met I have stayed freinds with over many years and we all still keep in touch pretty regularly.

I do believe that you can make good friends online.First off, I met my husband online and we just celebrated our 6th wedding anv. and have been together for nearly 9 years. My maif of honor at our wedding is also a friend I met online and I have had the honor of being able to meet in person. I had another dear friend who I met online who has since passed on:( . It's possible to met good friends, you just have to be careful though b/c not everyone you meet will be honest with who they really are. I've been lucky and haven't come across many like that though.

yes, it is possible, but i guess you just gotta know where to look. when i first started to use the internet as a kid, i would post in some chat rooms and message boards for gymnastics (because that was my passion for so many years). i met a lot of kids my age who liked gymnastics as much as i do, so we would talk about that. over the years, we just started to get even closer..and would talk about life and love and whatever else was going on.
in the past few years, ive actually met some of these people and i consider them to be my real friends, not just internet friends. its kinda weird, i know..i would have never imagined that i'd meet people off the internet, but you can really make good friends. many of them have been my close friends for the past 7 years and they know absolutely everything about me..and i know i can turn to them with everything. they trust me and i trust them...its a different type of relationship because they dont live near me so i cant see them often, but its a special relationship that i dont want to lose.
i think in a way you can be brutally honest online and you can portray your real self because you're not as afraid of the repercussions. on the other hand, there are those who do put on acts online just to make themselves seem to be someone else. i guess its just a matter of finding the true person of the two.
