Q: Is it normal for internet friends to last for as long as 6 years or longer? Do they usually end up meeting after a while? I have a friend who met this girl on Runescape when he was like 11 and they're still friends; he's 17 right now. I remember my internet friends only lasted a few months at the most...I just ended up changing my address and forgot to tell them...
Internet relationships are like real life relationships in the sense that some friendships last a few months and others last a few years. It all depends on how well the two people in question mesh.

Most of my online friendships last a few months. But there are a few that have lasted years.

I have this one friend, we have never met - she lives in Colorado and I live in Pennsylvania but she's one of the people I'm closest with. We chat, text, and talk on the phone. We have eachother's addresses - we send eachother birthday and Christmas gifts. It's weird to think that I have never met her because I feel like I know her so well, and I've seen so many pictures of her and her family that it feels like I see her all the time.

That type of online friendship is rare but it does happen.


Thank you very much! Your advice really helped me!
