Can an online friend be really considered a friend?
Personally I don’t think so anymore. Just because they know everything and you’ll have deep meaningful conversations does not make them a friend.

A friend is someone who doesn't play games or lie to you. Whether it's online or in real life. Deep meaningful conversations are actually the foundation for a solid friendship.
I'm friends with someone I met online 12 years ago. We speak on the phone and text. We've never met in person. It doesn't mean he's any less of a friend than the ones I see in person. As a matter of fact, he's a closer friend than a few of them.

@solitaire No, it's just not necessary. We live on opposite sides of the country and I can't imagine spending hours hanging out with him. It's just not that kind of friendship. It might even ruin it. We talk when we have something to say or just to say hello and find out how the other is doing.
