Do you believe in ONLINE FRIENDS ??????

hello gany15k, absolutely, if we joint in social network we meat new person. in the first time we have to be careful, she / he is a good person become friend or just take advantages for other purposes which we don't know. so be careful with your privacy. i met different people from different countries, if we have good communication with them and they responded well, so i think they become a good friend but we don't full believe someone who first time met with us. sometimes they are good in the first time because they have new plan to us. for me, i have some real good friend from social network and until know we still keep in communications, i can meet real friend because they in same region with me. Perhaps, in someday i go to abroad or visit your country and i need help from mylotters, i can contact you, otherwise if you visit my country you can contact me if you need. just little opinion from me, happy mylotting ... Regards.

I have several friends online that I have never met. I also met my husband online. I have one friend that I have known online for over 10 years, and have never met them. The one thing that bothers me about these friendships is that if something happened to the person, you would probably never know... I mean, you are so far away, and no one would think to post about it on their profiles and stuff. I do love my online friends though. They've supported me through some of the hardest times of my life.

Yes of course I believe in them.I have several friends including some here that I have never met in reality. But I still value you them as people and respect them as friends. I hope some day I do get to meet my closest online people but until then o well.

I think that there are alot of people that can not get out of their houses to make friends so the only contact they get with people is online and they do make great online friends.I have made some great friends online and i will talk to alot of them nearly every day.I also have friends that i chat to online aswell as offline when we all meet up it is great,but life is soo busy that sometimes it is hard to see people.

Everything depends what kind of person are you, but for the kind of person i am, I prefer contact face to face, i think it is a better way to bond with people, I have always heard that psychologist say that communication is 80% non verbally, so when the whole thing is online everything is a little bit slower, and also there is the fear that the person that is on the other side of the computer is not totally sincere. In my opinion I prefer real life friends.

Yes, I believe that you can become friends with someone via internet, but of course it's not the same thing as a real friend. But an online friend can become a real life friend if you meet each other (just be careful!).

I have a few that we have had in a gaming community. We talk on Ventrilo all the time and it's fun. I do believe in having online friends as we have all stuck together for over three years now.

hi gany15k! well i do believe somehow with online friends because i have met them myself. they are fine and nice people. but also be careful with whom you talk to. there are jerks lurking out there in the world wide web who may try to take advantage of ones goodness. happy mylotting!

Gany- It is like any relationship, full disclosure is a must. However, that does not always occur in our society as we have not evolved to that left of trust and acceptance. So, both online and offline we may find those who are not what they first appear. However, we must not give up because as you mentioned there are some real gems and those are the most precious of friends. I have many good friends who I have never met in person but are still my dear friends online. They have been with me for ages, through much, and have always accepted me as I accept them. I believe it is very possible. Namaste-Anora

I have a few friends online and I've actually met them in person. I believe in this day and age, you have to be careful , but when you do meet someone and can form a real friendship it's great. I have this group of women whom I call my whacky women and we've been a group for almost 10 yrs now.. We've shared our joys, sorrows,happy times and sad times. We are there for each other through the good and bad. It's kinda like therapy without the cost. When I'm blue or angry or upset even pissed I can get online and vent my whatever emotion through my keyboard and whatever it is I know they'll be there to support me and help me feel better about the situation. Through the year's we've known each other we've shared many things, weddings, deaths, moves, break ups, new grandbabies and all our daily woes. Even though I've not met them all we have formed a bond through these keys and I know no matter what, I can count on a friendly word a "hug" a kind thought passed from one state to another..I believe in this unkind world we live in , if you can find a true friend , even on here it is a blessing...

No, I don't because they all are fake and always try to make you fool. He never gives you right information about their self so I don't believe them.

i do believe in them, especially if they are my friends for quite a long time. i met some of them personally because they came to travel here in our country and they even give some time to meet me in person. and let me share this...i met my husband through chat. we first became friends and eventually fell in love. he came here to see me and after a year we decided that we're really meant to be...now we're 4 years married...and i couldn't thank enough the internet, that brought us together even we're miles apart...:D

I believe in online friends. Someone who shares our thoughts and respond back, no matter we see them or not, they are nice friends. Advices, fun, sharing ideas you can do it online with anyone, who will soon become our friends. Online friends in short unseen but still stay as good friend!

yes i do believe in online friends coz i have meet any friends in online and if they have time they call me on my phone and we have a short conversation and sometime if it is their summer vacation some of my friends visit me.Even if it takes a thousand miles just to visit me..

hi.. I have already some friends online.. I also have a special friend here in mylot.. I don't mean a guy.. what I mean with special relationship is, I got to confide in her and I consider her as my elder sister just as she considers me as her younger sister also.. sometimes we even send text meesages to each other to know how each one is doing.. So I don't think there's something bad about having online friends.. some are actually looking for partners online right? and some that I saw were successful.. Maybe, its just a matter of choice after all..

I think it really depends, it is not impossible to get nice friends, but it is difficult to make judgement without meeting in person, so mostly we don't know. I have good friends, casual friends, and some scammer... there are all kinds of people on internet.

I do believe online friends to some extent and not much. In case of Linkedin, we can believe them (they should have contact numbers) and can even go for interviews. But in most of the other networks, its better to chat for some time and enjoy their friendship. Going to parties with unknown friends is always dangerous as they may not be good all the times.

I want friends for just timepass.By the way i have friends whom I can believe.

everone have some real good friends.Maybe it's the member of mylot. it's not your good friends for online.everone is somebody's good friends in this web site.

Depends on what kind of stuff you are referring to when you are talking about believing in online friends. I do have a large online contacts that I have not met and possibly will never meet in real life. However, in terms of trading with them for game currencies and sharings about daily issues, I can always trust them to make good of their words and provide useful opinions on them. Other than that, I don't usually discuss personal problems or difficulties with them as my real life friends may be able to understand my situations better.
