I made an online friend.

I was watching reels on Instagram and came across a reel of a gym fitness trainer. He has a great masculine physique. I messaged him, "Hello.". He didn't reply, but after a day he replied. Then we chat about general things about each other. I asked him, "Can we be friends?". He said, Why? I said, Because I need an online friend to talk to. He said, What will he get? I said, What he wants. He kept quiet. I said goodbye as I understood what he wanted. This world is full of fools and bad people, I thought after reading his message. But after a few minutes, he messaged saying sorry and said yes, we can be friends. I know the internet is not a safe world to make friends, but still, I like to make friends online. I don't know if this person is good or bad, but what's bad in chatting for a time pass until he doesn't harm me, and it's a minimal chance of someone harming you online?

He doesn't seem like a good friend to make based on how acted with you the first time around. He asked you what he will get for being your friend. That is a red flag. He is best to be avoided. Be careful.

I am careful. I know he cannot be a good friend if he is asking for the benefits. Let me know about him more and comment. He is just a time pass as you know I don't have real friends to talk to so like to make few online friends.

@lilacskies I won't meet him face to face I know. You cannot trust everyone.

@sjvg1976 Good luck! Just don't meet him face to face. He might ask you for money or some other way to benefit. Who knows? Just be careful.

You have so many wonderful friends here Just sent them your email and if they are interested they will send you yours and then you can have a nice chat with them. I have done that and a few do chat with me.

I had a friend name Suni who used to chat through emails is missing now a days. I tried to contact him but could not. He was in Australia with his daughter as per the last update I got from the people.

Doesn't sound like he is someone you need to be friends with with the reply he gave you.

@sjvg1976 True, it's hard to make friends in an instant!

Hmm...I also think so and I agree I cannot decide some one to be a friend in few minutes and that too online. I am not serious to make him a friend.

Atleast he was frank and also realized that he was rude to you. Online has so many types of people just being careful but then again, good people still exist even online
