About internet friends
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...

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
that is unusaual but not in bad way. maybe they have a real connection. some times they meet and some times they dont. if all he is looking for is a good convo then thats great if he wants more then meeting will need. people used to have pin pals for ever.

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.

Most of my internet friendships only lasted a short while, a few however did last in the 6 year range. I did end up meeting one of them, but that was actually an accident and we didn't plan to meet.

99% of the time people are never who they say they are on the internet.
Different people will have different opinions but mine is I don't care how long I have known someone on the internet I would never meet them in person. Not even in a crowded area. Where there is a risk, If it is possible I avoid it.
Some have met people online and it ended up being a fine relationship and it's all worked out, but again not every relationship works out
