Ok, a rare serious question from me; don't you find it frustrating when you make friends with people on the internet and you know that because of distance, you will never meet them?

There are so many really awesome women that I have met from Yanswers, some of whom I would like to hang out with, given the option, but I know I can't....does this happen to others?

it certainly makes you think about things. I often wonder how different life would be for so many people if they were able to meet others around the world. The internet brings the world closer.. into our own homes yet there is still so much physical distance. It's easy to forget sometimes that people are so far away & that even if you wanted to, may never meet. It's a strange thing and not one I'm sure I'm used to yet. It is frustrating, yes.

Why can't you meet them? The world's a very small place these days.

I have some internet pals that I love dearly but DON'T ever want to meet because the nature of our relationship is that we can be brutally honest with each other and confess our deepest hopes and fears. If I felt I was ever likely to meet them for real I'd be much more reticent.

I have met a few people I'd like to meet in person, but it doesn't really frustrate me.

Yes it has and does happen to me. Over the years I have actually met ( in person ) some people and they were everything they said and more. It's a real bummer...but that's life.

I dunno. the one I met on Yahoo! I met on the personals, and was about 22 miles away, based on our zipcodes. We're been together for 4 1/2 years, married for over 3. Try the personals if you want to get together with people you meet on Yahoo!

wow poster a serious side? I'm shocked j/k!

I know what you mean though, I always wonder too if people are really what they say they are.

no, because who knows who they really are. I think people form these little internet personalities that have no bearing on who they are in real life.
