Have you ever experince an online friendship only to feel that maybe something was not quiet right.

Never meeting them do they seem to have some type of wierd conncection with you. Such as they are sick alot or off doing all type of things but do contact you to mention they will talk later. Only to end up with another short eamil that says they are tired up.

What is your view on this ????

I am not that kind of friend. I can asuure you.

Well, i hate one friend if he/she says that "Keep in touch"

this three words says many things... don't u think so......

I have to agree with you, with those three words can say many diffrent things.

And why do I have to keep in touch when I am the one that been keeping in touch and they do not respond. How long to I have to keep in touch before they respond.

Right now I have a friend that we been talking alot right along for a couple of months. With in the last couple of weeks the communication or keep in touch has decrease to almost nothing.

I been just sending a small email Hi how things going and for couple of days nothing. But I think I am not going to anymore till they want to keep in touch. Not sure what going on but hey thier turn now...

Online friends definitely seem to be a different type of friend than the ones we see face to face. I think because everything is written down, it's stripped of the context of physical gesture, tone of voice, and just that "vibe" you can get when you are with someone. Also, internet friends are easier to put off or forget about because they can't call us or come over to our house and press the point. Sometimes people just get tired of the internet, and with it, their online friends. It's not because you're not an interesting and great person. It's because the internet is no longer interesting.

but i must say that now, I have been tired of those kind of friendship and currently not going for a friend search campaign. Stopping it and may be some time in future would like to say good bye to internet friendship cause it has given nothing but an endless wait to get their response. Ones from whom i m getting response are now going away from me slowly...

so, I am wating for the moon to be set at a correct place and then I may say good bye to internet friendship...

aaaawwwwwww

don't be so negative about it anu, take it easy, it can't be that bad...

eventually, people will walk out from you, but that shouldn't discourage you to meet new people rite

Humpty I also feel some thing like Anu about it . Sometimes it is like why anymore you find a good or a great friend and then poof they are gone...

Maybe the friendship really did not mean as much as they say it was or maybe we thought it was. Guess next time will have to take a different look when I meet someone that this could be a fly by friendship????

well, maybe some of us just take things so seriously.. ppl come and ppl go.. we knw that.. even if its a personal friend, not online friends..there are tendency that they lose touch.. how much more are those we do not see at all??? it is always a risk.. me? im glad that i have online friends, i wish that they will last.. but then, im not expecting much more.. coz it will only hurt us.. if they keep in touch.. fine.. good... better.. but if they dont. hey, its there choice.. as long as i did what is needed.. like keeping in touch with them.. it takes two to get the relationship going.. lets enjoy what we have now.. if they decided to drop us.. saddd.. but i cant force them.. can i??

Thanks for the words on this and you are right. I should not except more then what they offer in words on here. Just sad as you find someone that you really relate with and poof they are gone maybe in a time when that friendship is really needed. But then maybe there is a reason why this happen.
Now the friend sends great email and explains a lot and says they are back and sends email almost everyday...now I like feel fine but needed you and you were not there and so.

Guess peachy just needs to remember a few things and just go on .....

Just because a person keeps busy isn't a bad thing.They are werking,
maybe,trying to make their lives a little better for them and theirs .Now, how could I expect them to take a break in the middle of what they were doing, just to talk to me.And, if they died,before they got to finish with what they were doing to just talk with me, I'd feel just awful :twisted: .And I'd be haunted by my self ish ness.On the other hand, :? I got someone to talk to me,for a while.To bad their house burnt down while we talked out front :twisted: ,but if we were to fight the fire together,we'd have more time to talk to one another.And if they died while we were talking :shock: ,I 'd know all about it and I could tell the next friend about the guy or gal that died talking to me.
See the world isn't all bad,there is some good to everything.
Hey! lets talk about the old days,awhhh! those beans have plenty of water on them,when was the last time you had help putting out a fire?Hows your heart now days? Good conversation starters.I know you're busy,but, that cut will stop bleeding,as soon as you run out of blood.Did you watch the Bears game this week?Did ya catch the score?Only kidding,I hope you know,I'd be the first one to help ya put a fire out. Smile God loves ya,anyways :D .

Thank you for the kinds words and thoughts. I would probably be there to put the fire out with you and I sure would do more than just put a fire out. That who I am.

I guess you would have to know the rest of the story to understand the whole situation. If you have read some of the post around talk topics you probably would have a better understanding as why I made the comment.

Not saying you haven't, but thanks for the kind words.

Thank you,and I do read the punch line,I'm just insane,can't help myself much,just a dummie,with nothing to do,so I pick on who? Bye,no rent, it's cheaper.
