I don't think so.
I have never met my internet friends. but I trust them. because we always talk on MSN, and they always help me improve my english. besides, when we come to a pass, we always give each other some useful advice and support. I think my internet friends are my soul friends. I am grateful to them. |

not really.
IMHO, friendship dosen't require touch of bodies, maybe soul communicaion is more important. that' why I have friendship with my internet friends. but love is different. love requires touch of bodies, requires sex. that's why I don't have internet love. because I don't wanna have sex with my computer. |

I didn't say that love dosen't need soul communication. and I didn't say love simply meant sex. sex is a important part of love, it's not the only thing though.
If you have a hard time to understand my opinion, then just think about anything in your own way. |

you are so dull. I can understand that when you write something on internet, you tell lie, you don't show your own personality. That's why you don't believe in other people because you think they are like you!! but you're wrong!!
I have many internet friends, and I believe in them. They help me many many things in life, they supported me when I chated with them, they help me search document, and they show me their personality! _________________ the sword conquers for a while, but the soul conquers forever! |

Yes, I agree with Phuc.
When we chat with our internet friends, we always show our personalities subconsciously. and personality is the most important quality for people to make friends. |

why don't you believe in internet friends? okay, of course there are some who just lie and show a personality which isn't their real one. but there are also many who are honest and show what they are - even if they don't show everything, would be stupid to do so on the net.
and, even if they lie, you can't know this so why do you think about it? you can have a really good time with them anyway!
that you don't believe in internet love, that i can understand, because it's everyone's own belief. but why internet friends, too?

glad to know that.
and why am I so forum-addicted? I guess that's because you guys and I have something in common or different. it is always happy to communicate with our friends, whether internet ones or realistic ones. |

hey, helping each other, I can even do it with a stranger in real life.
Like for example telling them that you urgently need a handy for a call etc.
And that is what internet friends are: Strangers who behave friendly towards each other because both think that it's real.
However I still think that making friends in real life is more practical.
However you can try to make your internet friends into real friends, but that costs a lot of time and energy and that is not worthwhile. _________________ If I say "I love you" to someone, then I also have to say "I love inside you everyone else. I love the whole world because of you. I also love myself inside you" |

you don't show your own personality.:phucauto
well,i think ppl always show their own personality every moment. whether it is faked or not,its a part of our personality.cuz when someone fake himself/herself,they have chosen to fake themselves.and i dont know u and u dont know me,i dont have to be said dull=D
and ive been thinking and i think those cant be judged by the other ppl.so still i dont believe in internet friends,but i cant say there r no trust.
and for me,even i cant meet my bf for now,i dont think its internet love. of course the ways we only can use r phone,email or MSN,but ive been making a lot of trust.and it is because longdistance love affair.and there r thousand of cuoples in the longdistance love affair.its not internet love.
how could u say there r no love between each couple? because of no kiss and sex? or what? some r waiting for their bf backing from army like me,or studying abroad,jobs so on.

okay, of course there are some who just lie and show a personality which isn't their real one. but there are also many who are honest and show what they are :stellara
of course i know that=D and its can be said in the real world and on the web.if u could have a good time with someone,he/she would be ur friend?
i dont disagree with that but theres something more important i think.
