Have you ever has a friend on here that made you feel like your friednship was just as important to them as it was to you,only to find out you really mean nothing to them at all? How do you handle this? Ummmmmmmm ... no. It's electrons on a screen. It's the internet. It's NOT 'real life'. Without a physical presence or the ability to call 'em up and say 'hey, let's go grab a sandwich' or something, it's a 'pretend friendship. At best, people online can be the equivalent of the 'imaginary friends' kids have growing up. To invest a great deal of emotion or attachment to them is a mistake. The safest way to deal with this (if it's a problem) is to not attach too much importance to things said over the internet. If you meet 'em in real life for an extended period of time and the same things are said then, well, different story. One's reality - one's not. Hello Kings_Knight ..welcome to M2 Well Betts, there you go....We've been friends for what, nearly a year now? Shared our feelings, laughter, heartache, and worry over others here we call 'friends'....only to find out it's all cybernet and not real friendship..and the ones we have met in person must not be real either..Don't know about you, but I say "DAYUM!! all this time wasted!!! Who'd have thought it?

Well you meet online, the next step is a phone call and to meet one another for a sandwich.

Opinions, every body has one, King Knight, we don't have to agree. I feel I have lots of friends here & nothing will change that.
