Internet relationship

Post by Eff »

Virtual - Right ? ---WRONG .
I'm talking friends. Friend you know from the internet . Some becomes good friends , some even more then that .
Internet relationship -Is there such a thing ?Or is it just virtual relationship?
Whatever happens on the net consider as virtual .
We get involved with internet friends , we share ,we laugh , we help ,we trust each other. We do not get to see'em (mostly) . we talk to'em on real time , we know them better then their own friends sometimes . Then we CAN also feel . we can feel love-hate-anger-feer-jelouse-we cry we laugh- we care, Like really care .Yet, its virtual .
Internet is a part of our life , we use it for fun \work\comunication\whatever... Internet is no longer virtual ,its a part of our REAL life.
So does inter' relationship. (Maybe?)

I consider few of the ppl here as good friends. real life friends

I have chatted with people online and had nice conversations, and with most of those people, I never see or hear from them again. This place is different. I routinely see these people online. Many of them have gotten mail from me. I have talked to a couple of them on the phone. I have met one in real life and I have plans to meet a few more. I think the friendships that have been forged in here are more than just virtual.

What Zot says applies to me both here at NELG and outside of NELG. I've been forging relationships with people online for about seven years. My best friends were initially "virtual". I have since met most, dated one, partied with many, celebrated with, confided in, talked on the phone, cam over the net, send mail, etc.

It's all good cuz I know eventually I will get to meet most of them. Though it does bum me a bit that I'm pretty sure I'll never meet anyone in another country for the exception of Canada.

To be honest, I don't have any friends in real life. That does sound a little sad doesn't it.
But, my best friends I met on the internet. I have not yet met anyone, but I would love to do so.
And maybe some day I even will.
I don't see my internet friends as virtual. They are very real to me.

I love the internet.

I met some who were only pretenders. They appeared and vanished again quickly. The ones who stay are those who count. They are real and even if you have contact via internet, at the other end there's a real person. You get to know him or her, build up friendships and sometimes even more.

You know Bells.. I should have posted this thread to your box and get over with it. You are right. I thought you all would feel different about REAL friendship that doesnt meant to end up with A meeting.
