i ment to add when people ask where you live it could just be a ice breaker or a way to start the conversation

I dont ask where they live because i check the profile see where they are,it makes no sense to talk to someone say in Germany who you will never meet,unless you just want to chat with them but if you actually want to meet them it would not be realistic to try and go further than that as a friend online only,i have been asked several times where i live,i do tell themp but i know we will never meet,because of the distance,that said i`ll talk to them knowing its going nowhere but a possible online friendship
