Does friendship throught the internet last long???

It's very uncertaine,many of people swim in the internet just becase of alone or living bored.And the best way is to chat with somebody on the internet. but I know a couple which they have marriaged said them know each other on the internet by chated on the QQ,Do you know the QQ?It's very popular in china,many chinese use it to get contact with each other.I think,the lasting time of the friendship through the internet depend on the individuals's characters,years of schooling,family background,interests,and so on.

ya itis long ever, but it is depend upon the user means those person which are making friend online. some time i feel that it is correct my best friend she is from bangalore as she told we were friend 3 months long. but i dont no why she is discontinued. that's why i wont mind all these things. what do you think?

I actually have a pretty good friend that I talk to at least weekly. I met him through animal crossing and that was through the internet. We are great friends and have a lot in common. And no I don't intend for him to be more than a friend. I've known him for almost a year. I get what your saying though. Not too many friendships that are formed online lasts too long.

Trusting and how often we comunicate Its nice to keep in touch even we can se each other

i think u remembered me..ya...its me..kishore...i believe in such frnd ship...as an example i havent met u..but u r my frnd...and im maintaing the relationship...and one more example is my 5 frnds.we r frnds in orkut..still we r frnds...to maintain it u should be sincere and should have a will to do frndship and to continue it...and be frank abt anything..then frndship will get strong..

Even I think that relationships made through net doesnt lasts long...Reasonmay be what you have said...They dont see each other or they dont believe each other still.We cant blame any one of them as lot of stuffs are happening around us which all originated from the internet relationship...There will be practical difficulty for people to meet too.They may be from far away places which may be causing them not to meet in real...But I personally know a guy who found his life partner through orkut and got engaged recently...Things like that happens but very rarely...But I always suggest anything through net is dangerous to handle with...

well, i got to know my bf from the net, and we're still together now (though we've only been together for about 7 months only) and i got to know my 'sister' (who's 13 years my senior) through online as well. i believe that both party should be honest with each other and to keep in touch as often as possible.

For any relationship the essence is understanding, trust and sincerity. If both are upto the mark on these basics, then the relationship will be really amazing.

its not true bhubneshwari, i have been friendship with dozen f friends from 2003 october and we are still friends and even we share every cheering and sorrow moment of one's life.this is really like a dream,having a friend on net whom we haven't seen for much time,and now its really a good experience.... did u found any wrong experience..?

I strongly disagree. Basically one wouldn't lose contact completely if he still feels that the people are important. If its that inevitable (either because of being completely immersed in work or whatever) then the contact would be lost with real friends as well. I have had some very close friends online whom I've been knowing since 7-8 years. Sometimes we don't get to talk as often as we'd like but still when we do, we catch up where we had left off. I've stopped talking a lot with some people, and thats not because its online, but because I've not enjoyed talking to them. And as far as losing contact is concerned, I've lost contact with more friends in real life in the past couple of years, than I've lost with online friends ever since I've been using internet. It only shows that the real life friends found more important things to deal with than finding time to keep in touch. By the way, out of my online friends I have even met a couple of them.
