I have some wonderful friends online whom I would surely like to meet someday. I have some really awesome friends offline in the real world whom I love and trust the most. I don't think one is better than the other but you do have a slight better edge while judging people in real life.

I prefer meeting people online. Maybe it's because I'm more socially inept when it comes to communicating in person - given my vision/hearing loss and ability to talk correctly. I mean there's nothing cognitively wrong with me - perhaps it's insecurity??? Anyway, the computer screen helps me in my social life more than anything. I especially like meeting people from around the world, and learning of different cultures. :)

@Sheilamarie78 I am very shy, actually. Most of the time I'm in a corner just listening. I do a lot better one -on -one, though, especially if the person is friendly. I lug around my crocheting and usually have people comment and strike up conversations that way.

I think there are a lot of things we communicate with others by our presence that are beyond words, so I would prefer the real thing, but there are things that come out in writing one may not always say, especially if you are rather shy. The friends we make online can become close in that way.

I do not get a lot of chances to go out so many of my friends that I meet are online. Though I wish I was better at making them offline as well so that I would have things that I can do with others here at home instead of always being stuck here.

I rarely go out also. I prefer to stay in our house that's why I have more friends online.

@flippish2014 I really do prefer to stay inside and away but at times it would be nice to go out and all. I have a bunch of friends I have met online tho. Some I even Skype with on voice so we can stay connected. We add a lot of us and just talk for hours while we all do out own thing online.

My preferred way of meeting people would probably be at work. I used to use the online dating sites, but too many fakes and flakes on there. Through friends and family is another good method of meeting new people too.

That's a good reason why do you like meeting people in real life.

I enjoy meeting people in real life. Since, I am disabled and don't get out much. I meet more people online. Than in real life.

I make friends both online and offline but it depends on how people are. but I take lots of time to analyze the person before I make them friends and share about me.

I like both, but it's better to meet them in person. Then at least you have a good idea of what you're dealing with.
