Do you think online relationships/ friendships are real?

I personally do. I know that there are a lot of scammers out there nowadays but I also truly believe that there are still a lot of real people out there. It just feels great to find people to talk about some things online that would be kind of difficult to bring up in person.

You canbe sure many are....by the pain caused when one of you decides its come to an end.

Definitely are. Just like in a different way.
Online friends are real, but not everyone online is reliable and genuine. It takes years to trust someone and rightfully so.

And still, one should remember that sharing your pics n personal info is dangerous even then. You never know, one of your friends could end up stalking you.

Friendships maybe to a degree based on what they tell you. Relationships, no.

I think that online friendships/relationships can be real, but you can't be sure of that too quickly. There are those who will try to take advantage of others by gaining their trust and then betraying that trust.

I never used to. But I 'met' a person a few years ago who I had such an instant connection with, I fell for her hard and it had a huge effect on my life.

They definitely are. Of course there are limitations, but they can still be very meaningful.

@SW-User there’s just some things that are much easier to talk about online than in person

@DRtist102 that too. In some ways they are a little more limited than in person, but in other ways they are even better.

They can become that way, you have to be careful once you take it off sw to another place

@Driver2 yeah I know what you mean. I’ve been looking into a bunch of online communities lately and it’s amazing how many are really out there.

@SW-User yeah most of the time it seems like there’s only scammers out there. But I like to truly believe that are real people that are looking for the same things you are.
