How Many of You Have Made a Connection Here?

[HellsLittleAngel]

Good morning once again. I'm curious as to how many of you have formed solid friendships and/or intimate relationships from a forum or social media group? This forum included.

Well, I'd with I could tell the truth here, but I'll keep it vague... i have met someone from the forum before and besides that I have made some online friends

That's great to hear!

I'd like to think I have.

I've definitely felt a sense of commonality, relatability, and real, strong, deep feelings for people I've met online both in a romantic and platonic sense.

The fact that I met a person online, doesn't make the person any less real to me.

I think the connections I make online are as real as my offline friends.
All that's different is the means of communication.
But there's a real person on the other end of these forums and messenger services.

I think if your connection is authentic, based on the way you really think, feel, the way you really are, then it doesn't matter if you meet them in the offline or online world.
If it's real and meaningful, then it's real and meaningful. Simple as that.

Agree!

I'd say it's been nice to have my life be busy, but come back here and have a sense of community that is somewhat like-minded and non-judgemental. So, in many ways, my connections on here are not as close as some others, but are still a vital part of my mental network. I appreciate everyone in here who makes an effort to stay connected.

I think it's fair to say that we can have meaningful connections no matter where we are.

I met someone on here and things got pretty intimate for a long while. Didn't workout in the end though.

I've had a few people that I've talked to over the years from ALL. Only one I still currently do. I've only actually met one ALL person offline however.

I've had other friends from other sites including friends I made while gaming. I've met a few people from the net but I don't make a habit out of it lol
