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.

Yes. I expressed my wish to meet someone but that person was hesitant. End result is I’ve been blocked. He flies to my town once a year en route to meet his parents in another town and I expressed my wish to meet him just as a friend! @bartender

@solitaire not everybody is brave enough to meet online friends. People do chicken out

Does not matter anymore. I’ve blocked this person and it is the last time I will express anything no to anyone online. @bartender
