Is online friend important

ewww, typo. I meant 10 years not "then" years. Some friends I used to play online games with for ten years now visit us in person once a year or so. Funny, though, we don't play the games together any more. Now we go out to eat.

Hello Drannhh, Enjoy reading your response! So you have some online friends that you guys know each other since 10 years ago, that is amazing. And it is fantastic you guys still keep in touch! Do you think online friends as valuable as friends in real life? For me, that depends on what your qualification and requirement of a friend are. If a core part of your friendship requires them to be physically present then no they cannot. But if the friendship is based on the value they bring to my life via words (wisdom or otherwise), their ability to aid me without having to physically intervene; then yes I can have a great friendship. What's funny is you'll be surprised, if you allow yourself, at how much easier it is to listen to someone you've never seen. Since their vision of your situation is based solely on the information you provide they can only respond to that information. They are not hindered by looks, social status, or other esoteric stimuli. Friendships are what people make of them.

Yes, having a friend is fun, wheter it is online or real life friend. Having some one to communicate with you and become you reguller blog reader is also a fun thing. And one thing that you should remember is, sometime we can make our online friend became our real friend if we really meet them. off course take any precaution like always meet them in a public place where there are many people, so you can ask help when they end up doing crime to you.

Hello Mimpi, Thanks for your response! Glad that you have great online friends around and I am happy to have you as my online friend too, ! For me, It is good to have a few closer online friends. I have an online friend who actually stay very near to my place. We did not know each other until we get into the internet world. Now we know we are staying so near and we might want to meet up more often if we want to.

Hi Lord, yeah, when we have regular visitor in our blog, we are slowly going to build a good friendship. I can see some blogger or Mylotter are actually getting meet up after they know each other better. For me, I still haven't meet up any online friend. True enough, we do not know online friends in real life before hence we need to be careful if we get the meet up session.

Hello Daliaj, Yeah, I get to know some people are just doing some hiding on their personal details so to get more online friends.. Of course we need to beware and do be more careful when choosing the online friends for yourself. It is good to set a limitations on so far you go with your online friends. But who knows one day later some online friends could turn into your real life friends.

Hi Cwong! Thanks for your response and happy that I have you as my online friends! I admit my online friends can sometimes do better than the real life friends! Just this happen to me few weeks ago. My real life friend had forgotten my birthday but a few of my online friends and blogger friends get to know my birthday from my FAcebook personal details and they all the birthday wishes flooded in Facebook, LOL. So you think are online friends as valuable as friends in real life?

hi vingyan.. I am glad too that I got you as my friend's list.. I don't think I have you in my FB!! and alternatively, get all your 'real' friend into FB, and I am sure they won't forget about your big day! actually, come to think of it, if someone were to remember your big day, we don't need the reminder.. hehehe.. :D maybe this is due to age factor?

Hi Shia, Yeah, it is so hard to get a real friend in life, I mean a trusted friend. Glad that you get so many new friends from MAmyPoko Forum. I do get some NEW friends through blogging. I wish we have the time to meet up blogger mummies and of course It is my pleasure to meet you up!

Hello Xiahps, We have online friends just to have some fun of it? It is good that you mix around with foreign online friends. It is a good way to know more on people from different countries. You can actually exchange thoughts, ideas ... Will you visit your online friends if happen you travel abroad to their countries ?

Yeah of course if it's possible!!^^I would like to take a trip to some countries such as the States,Australia,or some euopean countries..etc..hehe

Yes, being friend with online friend is kinda trust. Some time you just cant simply trust some one u never met. Well, for me, i actually have my own rules. I only chat with them about something that i will not fear to spread out. I usually talk about general think, or about my feeling. I never talk to them about private data, security number, etc.

Well many of us actually talk to online friend more than we talk with real life friend because in the office, when people actually should working, we can still chatting around with our online friend. it is most fun that way, because other will c us working, when we actually chatting. Thought when i really busy, i actually ignore many messaget that my online friend gave me.

Hello Lordcaocao, Thanks for your response. I can get to see some people are getting their online friends turn to real life friends. Maybe this is because online friends come in handy where you can easily get new online friends from MSN or social net working website like FAcebook, Myspace or friendster. Any where I will choose to have more real life friends than online friends. Glad that you like real life friends better,

Hello Ayebelle, Thanks for your response. I have a friend she get a boy friend through internet. And guess what, they have meet up, dating, and end up got married! WHat is amazing is they have 2 kids now, . They are a happy family now. Her hub is a caring and loving person. She is lucky enough to get the Mr Right. So I kinda believe that online friend can become a real life friend. Bu of course not all the online friends can be trusted. We have to be careful when we select online friends. Have you meet your boyfriend in person yet? How do you know both of you have fallen in LOVE? It is good you keep beware of your online boyfriend until you know him well and so to his friends and family. Good luck and happy Mylotting!
