Is it possible to find good friends on the internet?

Question

I think people recreate themselves on the net

Answer 1

Yes,
Man is a social animal and so finds it difficult to live without family and friends too. Sometimes, such moments come in person’s life that he needs friends desperately. Such moments are very common who r computer savvy and spend most of their time on the internet. Sometimes they start feeling lonely. They wish to have friends on the net with whom they could share their experiences or many other things. Some may like to develop the Web Friendship further also. Such personal needs can be met by visiting the following websites. Surf on them with a caution too to see how helpful these prove to be to you.

Answer 2

I started using the Internet about 7 years ago and since then I have found 3 on-line friends that hasn't disappeared after a couple of months or so. We have been friends for years now and do care about each other even though we have never met in person.
Most people just like to talk for a while, exchange thoughts and ideas and then move on. That's fine with me, it would be too much if every other person that I talk to would turn up to become friends. I'm not friends with every other person that I meet in the real world either.

Answer 3

I'm sure it's possible, and probably some people actually do meet good people and make lasting friendships/relationships through the use of the Internet.

But, I believe that it is overall rare. It's fun to talk to people on line. About controversial subjects, to offer your opinions and to hear others. Lots of people will have civilized, often friendly on line conversations. But in a way it is all sort of make-believe, but sometimes it's not. That's the problem. Just the nature of the anonyminity of the Internet, in some ways it is more easy to be real, to say your real feelings, at the risk of sounding stupid, or offending someone, because really, you don't know them any more than they know you. So, you probably say things to on line people that you would never say to their face. Even if what you say is truly what you feel. Or if it's not.

While you might know them as a screen name, and avatar and a "persona", it could be just as easily basically the true nature of the cyber-person, or they could have made up a whole new and opposite "on line self" just to be different than who they are for fun, or maybe they don't like, or are uncomfortable with who they are, or for any number of reasons.

Anytime you talk to others on line, no matter how much you may seem to have in common, or to connect or whatever, just be cautious. There are a lot of good people out there, who would also like to make a true friend. But there are also a lot of cruel and malicious people. From perverts (pedophiles or other dangerous types like rapists, stalkers, etc....) to people who are just bitter and miserable and want to make everyone else the feel the same way, so will go out of thier way to pretend to be one way just to hurt someone else like they have likely been hurt.

It is so very unpredictable. I get your question. But, the world of cyberspace is relatively new, and very, very uncertain and there is enough danger lurking out there, that if you want to make a friend who you hope could eventually become an "off line" friend, just be very, very careful and don't give out any personally identifying information to anyone you don't actually know. At least not until you have done some checking out of your own of them.

Like, if you are really seriously intersted in getting to know someone better than strictly having on line conversations, there are many sites that will, for a fee (but not usually too very high) do a thorough background check on anyone you are willing to pay them to do. And, the ones that have been around for a while, are probably legitamate. At least, they supposedly collect their information from tangible and legitamate places that can be verified in the physical world. Like Vital Records (birth, death, marriage & divorce); Court records (criminal, civil, bankruptcy, judgements for or against them, etc...); Land deeds (or lack of them); Credit Reports; stuff like that that are real official records with hard copies filed in physical Courthouses or other governmenal departments.

It could well be the best money you ever spent. It could be the difference of having a great new friend, or losing your life or close to it.

Good Luck

Answer 4

I don't know, I tried a lot of times but no luck. The either all have different interests or too busy to chat or even say hello. I guess finding one is like a huge gamble in my book but I still roll the dice to see if I find a good friend across the net. I can concur with anybody, so if you want say hello to me here's my email:

Just want to say hello to someone new...*sigh*.

Answer 5

I recently opened a MySpace account and I found a friend that I used to hang out with in grade school. That was over 20 years ago. We were really good friends, but drifted apart after high school. It was really cool to find her. There are a bunch of weirdos too. It is just like anything. There is a mix of good and bad and you just always need to be careful what you disclose.

Answer 6

Yes they can recreate themselves on the internet, but how can you discover between the fakies and the tru ones?
Of course we can find good friends.

Answer 7

It is possible to find a wife or husband on the net. But yeah, some people (not all) mis-represent themselves.

Answer 8

Looks like you answered your own question. You wouldn't know who or what you were getting on the internet so how can you trust it? No, you WON"T find a "friend" on the internet.

Answer 9

I have yet to find one. for some reason there are still people out there like me who still seem to fall for the sham. all i end up with is meeting ppl i already know and stopped talking to for good reasons or being ambushed by people pretending to be someone 'new'

Answer 10

I THINK THAT IS POSSSIBLE,

ibelieve all good things, in relationships take time to grow..
so if you share ideals ,interests, goals, ideas, and time, a good friendship can and will happen.. just be honest with yourself in all things, and then honest with your new people, and see where it goes,,

Be realistic in your expectations, and dont create the people to fill your "arena" JUST LET IT HAPPEN IF IT IS SU PPOSED TO,

GOOD LUCK
