Making friends here

Do people actually talk here and become real friends or does the convo usually fizzle out? This site always struck me as this obscure place to post things you normally wouldn't on your regular social media like a facebook or somewhere

Most convos die for me as well. If you want a friendship to die, take the conversation to private messages. Some survive it, but most of the time, they don’t.

@deathfairy I figured. I ain't like gonna call her out or anything by spilling who she is but I definitely had a convo with someone where not only did I think it was going very well, it was very flowing like butter. I haven't had a conversation like that with anyone in a long time. It was refreshing and it felt like we were going to be friends maybe, but I'd see her online and not respond anymore. It was definitely the longest conversation I had on here that's for sure. Thanks for letting me know though. It makes me feel a bit better knowing it's not me, it's just how it is. Even though deep down I already kinda knew, you just some times hope it's the exception when it happens

Honestly, I think the best way to prevent a “friendship death” is by starting to interact with the person in public posts, for a while. Getting to know them publicly, having a solid history or ground to stand on. @Movingthegoalpost

@deathfairy True. I even saw on someone's bio, about how she had to interact with people on each other's post before dming her" or some thing to that affect. I get it and I don't. You're still strangers either way, whether you interact on someone's post or not but I get it to some degree in terms of building rapport
