IS anyone else here to make friends that they can chat with?


Im really not at a point where I can do the 'real time' or physicla relationship right now, but I still am able to communicate quite well via text and telephone in order to get to know people.


I think I keep missing the mark because people are here to find 'the one' or to find a 'relationship'. Im honest about not being ready for that, but Im a pretty cool friend with great future potential as a partner...lol


anyway, my email is open to friends,

can anyone still handle simple 'friendship'?

i don't know what friends are,
but people are usually skeptical when you say you're looking for friends online.
they don't seem to comprehend why you don't have any in real life.
i guess there must seriously be something wrong with you.
it's like looking for a potential mate online is alright,
but looking for friends online is just ridiculous.
that's what it seems like to me anyway.
funny how there's an option to say you're just looking for friends,
yet people ask what you're doing online.
meh.
humans are strange creatures.
i'd say there are some people just looking for friends,
but very few.

what kinda friends?

the kind you can share common experiences with, talk about current events with, ask advice of, give advise too,,,the kind you communicate with and get to know through communication,,,,

hi, cant see any reason not to be friends with you in fact it would be my honor . we come from 2 different places and cultures so why not share stories events thoughts , friends are people you trust not to do you wrong so i will take that chance if you will

That is all I am looking for, someone to hang out with.

are u talking about just men friends or gal pals also...< if so I'm in! we often end up talking on the forums anyway...

I didn't sign up on here to find the love of my life, or as a way to get my "work" published, nor as outlet for my various neurotic anxieties or rabid political viewpoints.

I look at it as sort of an international local pub without the necessity of having to get dressed and actually going anywhere.

Wow. Friends that you can chat with. I am not quite ready for that, yet. Some day I may get there. I am still working on friendship. I have had quite a lot of experience working on being a friend. It has been quite a struggle. My sponsor once told me it was a good idea to be friendly with your friends. He said, "Lets be friendly with our friends." Lately, I have been contemplating the idea of a friend being friendly towards me. To me I think it would sense. I mean if I am being friendly with them I think they should be friendly towards me. Right now the dog and me are doing pretty good. I am having a hard time being friendly with the cat. The dog and the cat seem to be friendly towards each other. I don't know. It might just be an animal thing. I got friends offline at work. I will have to do some more thinking about that of having friends Online that you can chat with. I think it could be possible.

I'm not necesarily here to find the one, either... I love the friends i make here... Thats the main reason i keep coming back here! I think, the overwhelming majority (at least talking about us, the regulars here in the forums) prefer to make friends, and if something else happens from it, thats just an added bonus.... i think anyone would be lucky to be your friend, MsHarmony

I love it when I don't have to come up with a response because someone else already came up with a better one. This.

Id love it, thanx

woo hoo,, thats two potential friends, perhaps I should have tried the forum first....lol

ty silent, Im in excellent company

Thats right!!

Me too...I'm with sweetest! Remember the days of "penpals"? When you wrote to people and sent the letters snailmail . Those were most definately TRUE friendships. We learned everything about each other from the tip of a pen
