We are not meeting now and I have been wondering if I could stay on this site and just form lasting friendships, I know I have raised this before but this is a kind of update.
A few weeks ago I got talking to a guy that I told straight away that we don’t meet and he was happy to just chat, me being a little sceptical I went with it.
A few weeks on now I feel I have found a real genuine friend someone that I can talk to on very deep meaningful levels and someone that has taken me out of my comfort Zone totally is able to understand me, we have both really enjoyed chatting and never seem to tire of doing so.
I liken it to some people you meet in life draw charge from your batteries I can’t explain why this is, while other recharge them and they last for hours.
He recharges my batteries and hope long may this special friendship last.
So I do believe you can form true friendships here.
And I hope long lasting one too.
I believe a true friend accepts every part of you.
They always want to talk about you and not themselves
They can tell you honest and truthful things about yourself without it feeling they are being critical.
You always enjoy chatting to each other.
How do others see true friendships?
Interesting post!
I think friends made via here, non meeting friends are great.
I have 2 female ones, and 3 male ones, we now do the MSN thingy!
We will never meet, but at this moment in time we value the chats we have together, they are non sexual ones now!!
Its always good to type!!

unfortunately i have learnt that my idea of true friendship seems to differ from other people. i have very few people that i would class as true friends. i suppose i have friends as in lots of people i know and socialise with. then i have my best friends who i would do anything for. i now have three and one of them is a person from here.
when the sh*t hits the fan you learn who your friends are. i have serious trust issues so i find it very hard to open up to people the way they seem to do with me. but over the last couple of months my friend from here has been the one who has been there for me the most, day and night. for the three i really would do anything i could for them.
i see no reason at all why you can't make friends on here. i've been taken into the confidence of a couple of people from here and i'm very flattered by that. they have just as much of my loyalty as anyone else would have.
if you and your friend are both happy with the situation it doesn't matter that it was formed through here.

You know, that jus about sums up just how i feel!

You know, that jus about sums up just how i feel!and i have to concur rolleyes
I have made some very good friends on here - 3 of whom I could tell anything to, discuss anything with and know they'd be there for me if I needed someone ( and they all have recently ) and I count them among my best friends. They know who they are kiss
These days I don't let people get close to me. Made the mistake of trusting the wrong people and it's not nice when their true face has been shown.

It sounds lovely can I have a friend please rolleyes confused: I find that in real life most of my vanila friends are takers and not givers,for example, they talk to me, they tell me things I keap to them to myself, I listen and dont often advise as it is not my place and more, but get non of the same back.
I think that the anonymity that this site affords, lends itself to close friendship. People will often give their most intimate details to strangers (in the nicest sense) who they know they will never meet. It's no suprise that close friendships can develop here and long may it continue. It's an ideal place.
I thought Mal was me friend... but he didn't reply to my mail :cry:

I have only been using the forums for a few months, and I think I have made a few friends even in that short time. Only time will tell how long they last but I am an optimistic person (sometimes to my disadvantage) and hope they become 'lifelong'. I meet and talk to a lot of people in my daily life but have no long term friends within 50 miles of home. I have met a lovely lady through SH and when she is ready, I hope we will become good friends. While I would like to have a girlfriend or two to go shopping with, I value the opportunity to chat (in person or electronically) and exchange ideas, feelings and problems much more highly. I hope I have found that here.
i thought i had made a lot of really good friends on here.
Some are those that i miss talking to if they arent in the chat very often but are they more just aquaintances?
Others i've allowed in to my private life and (apart from two people) I've lived to regret it deeply the last few months and have now vowed that my personal life and my swinging life are gonna to remain poles apart now.

It is so hard to form true friends.
Here I believe even harder than in the vanilla world.
I believe I have let you all into my private lives on these forums, I didnt do it to gain friends, but I have one person I would trust totally from sh, a true friend but trust goes both ways and unless you have that totally I believe they are just people,friends maybe Perhaps you could call them aquaintances people to pass the time of day with.
But a true friend would never let you down nor you them.

If I knew where you lived Minxy, I'd come round and give you a great big hug. Hell, I'd even bring Jaffa Cakes biggrin . But since I don't here's a virtual hug for you from me :therethere:
To me a friend is somebody I love and who loves me in return.
Everybody else is simply an acquaintance who may one day become a friend.
We all sat around trying to define this in a drunken mind altered state one evening ( with some true friends incidentally) and we decided that a definition was impossible since it was different for everyone. However we did agree on one test that works. If someone you think is a friend invites you to go out and you make an excuse not to then they aren't ,if your first reaction is to say ' you know what I just cant be arsed to come mate' then they are.
The few friends I've made via here came by surprise.
I didn't come here looking for friendship, I've plenty of friends in the vanilla world and those friendships have taken a few years to build upon.
True friendships are about trust. There's not a lot of people I 100% trust, here included, the ones I've let in know about it.
Great definition silk.
