Today, I went into a more deeper contemplating of what cyber dating, or friendships is.

1.Myself, I make deep friendships in cyber world that last for years, yet we would never meet...but we know what we mean to each other.

2.Then there is others who believe that cyber friendship is worthless, means nothing, and is disposable.

*There is no number three, because these are the people that don't know what to think...or are confused.

I would like you to give this some thought before you answer....and then tell me what you think.

Please express if you are number 1 and why?

Number 2 and why?

Somewhere in between?

This a deep question for me to see how the CS people feel...thank you.angel

If there is no number 3 then there must certainly be a 1.5 - That would include those whom I have met and will meet in person.

And that would be the group to which I belong - I've developed frienships, first via an on-line forum and then continued those friendships in person. One of those friends was directly responsible for my becoming a published writer. Granted, at best I see most of my "online" friends on an irregular basis. Of course, owing to my vocation I only see even my closest friends on an irregular basis, as well.

And there will always be those whom I'll never have the opportunity to meet but will continue to value their friendship as well as their guidance and insight....

Hope this answers your question?

You have provide great insight, thank you.

And you are right on all your remarks, they are all possible.

I know my answer, I am number 1....I make friendships online that I value, respect, and will treaure for always.

My online friendships can have many feelings, and I value them as real as my offline friends.

I need to know what others feel about the meaning of cyber dating, or friendship.

Thanks I really appreciate your valuable input.

I am a number one. I have made some friendships on line, that I would hope to keep for a long time. Why, well I guess I like writing.

I consider myself a number 1 and then a bit more because I do meet some of my cyber friends. I know I will never meet them all as I have alot of cyber friends. Having no family around me I rely on the internet for my friendships, companionships, and emotional well being of having adult conversation. I respect them as a person and their feelings and I know they do mine as well.

I have made many deep realtionships in the cyber world, and the obvious drawbrack to some is the distance. But on the other hand it gives a venue for meeting people through their thoughts and their hearts. Yet have had friendships that started in the physical that have become a cyberworld friendship from leaving the country. I honestly don't differeniate between the two. As with both I care deeply about the people whether I met them online or in the physical.
I've heard people say the cyberworld is not real...I think it is as real as we make it...hug

I have had friendships that lasted for a few years off the net.
I even moved from here in South Carolina to Indiana. Lived with this woman for almost 5 years. In the end it didn't work out , but I still stay in contact.

And have a few number 1s and believe that is what I am .....
I believe that friends whether online or not are still friends.....

If you know my personal email or messenger then 1:

you're either my friend or more. I don't set limits and don't believe there is nothing meaning full. This cyber stuff is only another outlet to meet people for me.

If I keep it out side my personally stuff its nothing more then where we met.

meeting someone on the net is only a step before that of meeting in the real word. Only difference is your get to know a bit more before you meet them. I think the sad part of the cyber world is that you get the change to meet someone far away, and it makes it hard to see one another. I think most of us can relate there. But when you think of it, at least you did get to meet, and if two people care enough for each other I personally believe it can be made to work. Love, communication, and understanding is all you need. Love the most trivial of all in the cyber word, but by then a phone call should not be a stranger to you. Love is not simple, its complicated and can happen over a distance, just not the say love we experience when we are together.

Then again its just my opinion I could be wrong.

- I always loved that line-




wine cheers

Im making good friends here, we are far away, but experiences and dayly situations make us closer, and its great
and I hope this new friendships will last for years hug
I think too, theres a possibility that I can find a good man here, why not, at the beginning I was not sure, but looking at some couples here getting together, theres hope
If people think its worthless , why they are here?

Friendship is friendship to me, as for anything else. No, I could never fall "in love" with a picture.
