never really had a 'close' online friend personally but i'd say if you're that close with them just meet up or something.

@JustJosh I don't think this is necessarily good advice. What if the person is not trustworthy... I mean trustworthy online, but not in face-to-face encounters.

@MarkPaul well depends on what level of 'online friendship' it is really. i guess i have had 1 friend i met online. but i was speaking to her for over 6 months and we video chatted for months as well before we ever considered meeting up and we're still really good friends. but that's not to say i'd ever meet with the majority of people.

@JustJosh Yeah, I guess. In your case, you had smartly moved beyond online (to video chatting) for awhile so at least you did some verification on what you were getting into. In this case, it sounds like it's all be through text.

@MarkPaul yeah got ya, fair enough. if it's all in text then meeting up wouldn't be the best option 😂

@JustJosh Well, I think you did it the right way... maybe this person should try that as her next step.

@MarkPaul yeah probably a good idea
