I have never made any type of friendship that exists
exclusively in cyberspace. The thought has never sounded appealing to me; I
honestly would not even know how to begin with that. I don’t add people on Facebook
I don’t know, and don’t ever go on any friend/dating websites. I know a few
people that have met their spouses/girlfriends and even friends online and some
have worked out great and some not so much. I guess the thing about cyberspace
is that if you are looking for something in particular, the chances that at
least one other person in the world is looking for the same thing is pretty
high. I guess I personally am old fashioned. I will make friends with strangers
at coffee shops that seem nice or in my classes (not online) but I have never
made a friend online. I guess in person it is easier to tell what kind of
person someone is, there is little editing as far as emotions and looks go. I
have found that a lot of people are different even through text, which I am not
too fond of either. I like in person and phone call interactions. All of my
true best friends, along with my boyfriend of over 3 years have become close by
hanging out a lot, and talking on the phone. Essentially, I guess I have not
explored the world of cyberspace friendships enough to know what it is like,
but I am perfectly fine with that.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI also have never made any relationships online, I feel that a face to face meeting is necessary to initiate a relationship. I think that it is much easier to get a reading on someone by just talking face to face for a few moments. I do not add people to my facebook that I do not know because I find it pointless, I am never going to meet that person so why bother? I agree with you that people who are looking for something specific can most likely find someone who matches what they are looking for. I for one do not really know exactly what I am looking for and call me old fashion but when I do figure it out I want to find it face to face.
