I Have Random Thoughts

Online connections can be strange at times.
You meet someone, start chatting and you both feel an instant connection, a certain chemistry. Conversation flows easily, you talk, you laugh, you may even flirt effortlessly and you "get" each other. Sometimes these instant connections evolve into lasting friendships or relationships, sometimes they fizzle out and that person fades from you inbox and your life.
Other times the connection slowly builds over time. You talk, get to know one another and the more you know about that person, the more you appreciate them. These will usually withstand the test of time better and will more often than not evolve into lasting friendships that will occasionally cross over into "real life".

I met someone on EP that I connected with almost instantly. We both were married , had kids. Her marriage was failing and my relationship with my husband was good . We knew each other very well and were great friends for two years .,, then because I could not talk to her on the phone or meet with her in person... Because of work security ... She changed and eventually became someone I could not stand. And finally I broke off all contact with her. It was a long painful process. I miss my friend so much everyday... But now she no longer exists and the hole left in my heart still hurts. Be careful what you wish for , you just might get it.

I met someone on EP I became friends with. She met me in New York when I was visiting. We had an amazing time together there and we have become even closer friends since. She's more like a sister to me than a friend. Sometimes it does work.
