In that case, trusting strangers to
become your friends being your greatest advantage, and also your biggest
downfall.
But I like your statement. Sometimes annoying the heck out of them works. lol -
Well all you could say is please - and if they don't want to become your friend,
better move on.
I agree with Celessa that trusting strangers to become your friends being your
greatest advantage, and also your biggest downfall.
Unfortunately because most people feel slightly uneasy about what they want in a
friend that they dont know what to expect, on the other hand, some people are a
little too outgoing and "in your face" so to speak.
So other ways of making friends?
Member directories?
Chat rooms?
Forums?
Personal sites/pages?
just how much use can they be to determine what sort of person you are actually
finding the information about and is it always truthful?
Games rooms is the one thing i never would have thought of,i play at pogo all
the time and have regular people i chat to. Most people are always quite
friendly in games rooms but then again you do get the occasaional idiot. Great

Good point, and it seems you've had a lot of chat
experience yourself.
I've been to MSN Chat Rooms before where the Age Limit is supposed to be 18 - I
know, but I somehow snuck in - and realized that approximately 80% of the time,
the PMs coming about random strangers becoming your friend - and clicking accept
- turns out to be none other than cybering freaks, pedophiles and the works. I
pretty much block all the PMs and ignore them. So you have to be extra careful
about who is your friend really and who isn't. There's a lot out there, oh yeah.
That's why this place is normally great in finding friends - it's a safe and
friendly neighborhood, sorta speaking.
Some people - a little too in your face - Those are the loud-mouths. Don't want
to get near these types of peeps, because they tend to bring others down and
think they're always one step better than you are, even when you know they are
not. Then you have the quiet types, but you can't be too sure if they are truly
friendly or down-right manipulative. Good points to consider indeed.
**Nods**
Ultimately - time is all it takes. In a year, I'll guarantee pretty much you'll
figure out for sure who is a trustworthy friend, and who isn't. Patience is a
game, and generally patience wins you great friends in the long run.
my main way of meeting ppl online is through friends. sometimes i do the
"find a buddy" option on AIM and juss search for ppl with a certain
name...lol! but that's only when i'm really bored. sometimes i meet a couple ppl
here and there through places like xanga, livejournal, or even on here! i met
one of my online friends through matchmaker.com (when it was free... lol!) but i
wouldn't suggest it cuz the odds of finding a decent person are pretty slim...
Well I suggest internet should be your last restort in finding real friends. It
is not very healthy, if you only look toward online world as your salvation from
your need of human friendship. You should always look for friends in your
offline world, because it is a lot more enjoyable to interact physically and
verbally when you are in live person. Of
course sometimes you will find very good friends online, but most of the time I
would suggest to you to make friends offline, because they will be there for you
most of the time.

Regarding this poin i should state that REAL friends are definately more
important than chat buddies, but with chat rooms and all instant messenger
programs sometimes you just want someone with similar intrests to chat to. Often
it is not know what the intentions are but you soon find out if they are the
right "buddy" to be talking to.
Post here to meet new friends or to tells us how you meet people online.
