I think in internet we can find, contact, to share happy and sadness with friends. We can find a beloved person, we can contakt if beloved are other country. Find and be friends we can, we can all in the internet find and married, trust, this is best place - internet!

Yes of course. I gained several internet friends, I viisted their countries, they accommodated me and showed me around. However, be careful as there are also a lot of crooks in the web.

But did you already had a friend who was a fake? Like someone who try to be your friend just to robe you or to joke with you?

I met the best friend I've ever had over the internet. She was someone I could talk too about anything and vice-versa. I've met a lot of other friends as well who have become close to my heart. My town is not a good one for making friends unless you want to get caught up in the wrong crowds, but the friends I've made online have prevented any of that from happening. Friends, whether online or in person, are still friends.

I think so, internet give us a great chance to make friends If you have some problem in real life,you can search the solutions in internet, also you can find other people find some problem that you meet, so you can contract him how to solve the problem!

I agree by it..i do have lots of friends who met over the internet through the social networks and we are very tight till today..i wonder how it would have been without the internet because like 80% of my friends i knew them through the internet..ave an experience so i know its possible to find true friends over the internet.

I think so. A real friendship doesn't have to be based in how much time you spend hanging out but if you care about one another.

Hi Humberto91 and welcome to myLot. I believe we can make all sort of nice friendships both online and offline. We must be careful with both! We can meet someone for the first time in the grocery store and simply not know they are some pedophile or murderer, so same goes for anyone online friend too. So the same flags we raise offline we must raise online. We have to use our best judgments and make sure who we are actually speaking to. Just like with any friend time will tell. Welcome aboard!

Yes, it is possible. People over the internet are still people. Just because you meet them over the internet doesn't make them any less valid than a person you may know in "real life". I find it's easier to open up to people over the internet anyway. And if you really end up not getting along with the person, you can simply block them. It's harder to avoid people in "real life" that you may not like. I've made a good number of good friends online. I may not see them in person, and maybe I never will, but that doesn't mean they aren't nice to talk with or supportive like any other friend.
