I meet different people from different walk of life and hear different stories about them. I got some friends online too, where in fact because online I got my very first job.

I also believe in meeting people first in real person before making any kind of business plans whit them, skills can look very great on the paper or mail you get but who make the mail ?, you can better desire your moves and willing to work together after a personal meeting.

Yes many things are change in the way we communicate we are truly more likely to exchange e-mails or use Twitter accounts than we are to exchange our phone numbers, and many friendship are started online. Dinner and drinks and other kind of meetings are more latter in an relationship than before.

i started to meet other bloggers, too. english language blogging communities are small in beirut and amman so we tend to read each other’s work and know of each other before we know each other. for me meeting other bloggers–especially those with similar political opinions–makes sense, but the other sort of venues online–chat rooms and such– local sex

We have more in common than I previously thought. 1996, huh? I have you beat by a few years. But our stories are very eerily similar. over dating

Someday you’ll going to find a friend that will never live you and would be there when ever you need a comfort and a shoulder to cry on if you have a problem. I’ve experienced this once before but I never give up finding that person.

I’ve been online in many years also on diffrent online dating sites, i use the sites most for friendship but also some few times there have been more than chat and mail, i think dating online is a perfect way to find out off people before meet them, why wast your time. Ofcourse ther are some fake profiles on the internet but if you meet one off this profiles you will normaly find out off this before you send money to Nigeria for a ticket to your new dream or something like this.

[...] C. York has a great piece on online friendships and she knows what they really mean. Our hyper internet use may well be a little movement as well. [...]

I’m a rather late bloomer in the online world compared to you. My parents were very strict and proactive in keeping things like this from happening. I did start blogging around 2000 in order to keep up with a couple of my friends as we were just graduating from high school. I haven’t had a lot of luck transferring online friends into real friends, possibly because I spend too much time working in the theatre and only recently broke into the online world as a way to escape the distaste I was developing for the world I live in here in the Bible Belt. I imagine I will have more success once I move somewhere else for my job as I am currently in a transition just building resume experience so I can teach somewhere I enjoy more. I do, however, see where many of my new friendships online could easily translate to offline friends & that’s a nice feeling to have :-)
