can interactions with strangers on the internet be as rewarding & fulfilling as real life social interations?

Answer 1

But of course. Some people I know have made their closest friends yet over the net and haven't ever met in person.

I don't know if that would work for me as well as for others though. I get antsy when I sit in front of the computer too long and feel like I need face-to-face interaction.

Answer 2

Mom's been married 4 times then finally found her perfect match over the internet. Now they're going to get married in the month they first met 9 years ago. She & my future step-dad always said that if the person you met on the net doesn't want to meet within a year after knowing eachother over the net, then yall are never gonna get anywhere beyond the computer screen. Now I've learned that the hard way from when I spent tons of times on the net to find out the person is some old hag living in New York instead of the Gulf Coast area. But that's been a rule of thump I've used over the years:

If the person is against meeting you after a year of knowing eachother over the net or is eager to meet you 2 days after yall first meet over the net, just throw'em back because their living out a make-believe life that they can't & never live.

Answer 3

Sure, as long as they aren't the only interactions with strangers you ever have. Meeting new people in person supposedly is a good thing, as well.

Answer 4

No, because in real life, you can see who you are talking to. On the Internet, one can say they are one thing, and be something else.

Answer 5

Depends on how you much you make of them and your own personal prefrences. Anything is possible with relations with people.

Answer 6

I suppose anything is possible. But my experience involving a certain idiot jackass, in particular, has been unpleasant.

Answer 7

Depends on how desperate and sad you are.

Answer 8

No

Answer 9

NO WAY
