Hi MetalM
I know I agree with you in part... the word friend is over used.. but in my case
I did go over to meet some of the people I met here on this site.. and I did call them friends and guess what.. they were friends...
A lot took time off work to show me about.. one flew from another country to meet up...
There would not be a space of a few weeks that go by that I dont keep in touch by Skype, fb or on here and private emails...
and with a couple...we talk almost daily...
so there you go...

In response to: I recently had a conversation with someone and it got me to thinking... Am i the ONLY one who defines "friends" this way?
let me explain... i believe that the word "friend" is about as over used as the word "love" and thus, both have lost their meaning to a large degree.
basically, if i call someone my friend, i think of him/her as a brother/sister (literally)... i would do ANYTHING (within reason) for a friend, as a result, im not one to call someone a friend until i have decided that the relationship has earned that label. thus it takes me a long time to make friends. but once i do make them the remain there for life.
i hear people all the time, in here saying: "i've met a lot of great friends here" or "you are a dear friend to me" yet these people have never met the person in real life and only know whatever they may say via the internet or phone.
even if you meet someone a few times, do you know them well enough under those circumstances to share intimate personal details about yourself? would any of those people fly out on a moments notice to help you when you need it most? CAN they even afford to fly out?
now im not saying that relationships cant be made over long distances, but im having problems understanding who the can be "close" relationships without the ability to truly get to know each other, and i just dont see how you can do that from thousands of miles away... personally, i call those people acquaintances, but i could never open up to them without personal contactagain i ask... am i the ONLY one who thinks this way????

well... happy that it works for ya....
but it goes to show that maybe im in the minority because i cant do LDR (to include friendships) unless... maybe... if the relationship was already there and strong and then we became separated for whatever reason.... !!

Semantics, kuh.
You've got to start somewhere.
Sometimes it works out, sometimes, sadly, it doesn't.
