hi mylotters, when you make friends online from social networking sites like facebook, twitter, hi5 and mylot etc, do you ever get to meet them in real person? I have made lots of friends online, from different countries and backgrounds, but i've not meet a single online friend in real. I really wish to meet some friends, whom i'd made online. There are lots of different and interesting people, some who are eager to carry on the friendship a step further, some who are hesitant and distrustful. Anyway, friends are like gold and silver, whether online or real life, they're invaluable. So i wish all my friends all over the world, the very best in their life. Happy lotting

While you are the richest in the world if you have a lot of friends,so never mind in the real world or online,to be the honest and heart by heart ,share happiness and sorrows ,that's enough in my view.May you have a abundant life

Yeah, you're right, no amount of material wealth can replace true friendship. And a happy long life to you too.

yes we met friends online and we also meet them personally in groups, skypers friends of mine are setting places where to meet and when to meet we are in groups. if there are someone who work for example in USA and going here to have vacation we meet them in groups, we share lots of happiness, playing, singing, swimming.

I've met friends online before, but you have to be very careful, I repeat, VERY CAREFUL because there are A LOT of people out there who would try to hurt you in some way. However, what I do is build a friendship over a long span of time before I agree to meet up, (usually a couple months of daily communication), and I always meet them in public. I've met some awesome people, but I've also met some people that I really didn't wanna meet. Either way, I treat my online friends like my real friends.

hey ashleyatrocity, you're absolutely right. One cannot be too careful these days with frauds and people who try to molest or rob you off your modesty. I recently read from somewhere, that a girl who made a friend online decided to meet her friend at his native town and that the boy (her online friend) robbed her off all her belongings and nearly sold her. Not all the people online are fraud or bad, but as you said, one should be very very careful in making online friends and choosing whom to meet in real life. Thank you and happy lotting!!!!

Some years ago I was quite into chat rooms, and I made some friand that I also met in person. I also fell in love with a few, and we started dating. One of them we have been together for more than a year (seeing each other only during week-ends, since we were living quite fare away).
Now I decided to keep on-line friends only such. No meeting anymore, not on purpose anyway. If it happens that I'm visiting a place where my on line friend lives IT COULD BE that we will meet. But I will not arrange a journey only to see them.

I have and it's quite awkward. I'm friendlier than my online persona. I think this amazes some. Online I can be quite cruel and ugly. Offline I'm more shy and tentative. However, online friendships never seem to grow past the online thing. I think it's because the distance and just the fact that people have lives. I used to talk to several girls until they married and had children. They had less time to chat and stuff after all that. Perhaps their husbands told them to stop talking to other men. I really don't know because they stop talking with me altogether.

Yes,we have made lots of friends online.
When we spend much time on some social websites, we are getting more chances to make new friends with people who come from all over the world. Of course, it is really an amazing thing if we can meet some friends online friend in real world, which is our dreams. Yes, with the development of transportation, I think I will try my best to meet them in my real life some day.
Happy myLotting!
