I was just thinknig today, and this came across my train of thought...
How well do you think that you could get to know somebody without ever actually meeting them face to face?
Do you think you could get to know somebody well enough to form a real friendship?
A relationship?
Or nothing at all.
I just want some other opinions :)
Yeah, I definitely think you can become friends with someone without ever meeting them. I have a ton of people I've met online who I consider friends, and I feel like I know some of them pretty well. In fact, I've actually gone on to meet some of them in person.
Of course, when you're talking to someone you haven't met in person, there's always a chance that they aren't being completely honest about themselves. And I'm not just talking about weirdo stalker guys posing as teenagers. What I mean is, some people might fib about themselves a bit - about their looks, their accomplishments, their personal situtations - because they think it will make them sound better. (Of course, even people you meet in person can do that!) So I guess you can never be 100% certain that you truly *know* someone you haven't met in person. But if you enjoy your conversations, and talking to them adds something good to your life, then I think you can definitely consider them a friend.
