E mail buddy


Have you ever had an e mail buddy, someone you could talk too..and say anything. Not a love relationship..a like one.. They might not see things the same, but understand people are different. So, would you want to meet this person? would it mess up the connection? and what if you did meet and something or nothing..makes it the same. Like a spark left your relationship.

Having and<b> meeting friends </font></b>face to face..you build up the relationship. But on line is it a false or half way relationship? I feel we as humans need to interact. In today's world it is all about texting and email. Are we loosing the ability to interact by sight..voice conversation..is it dead?

It's an interesting thought. For me, I have women friends thru various craft groups. I know that they are not totally honest relationships because the face to face is missing. The flip side is that I can be honest about issues that are emotionally charged. I guess you have to know what you want and what you're getting from an email friendship.

Well now very good point. I got hooked on emails and text from my girls when they were home , as I have a hearing issue that made things alot easier for me. However there is a point were it would be wonderfull to look the person in the eye (for me anyway) I thought that a single life with some interaction would be the best for me but I was seriously wrong I stronly believe you need to touch another to be 1 . My point is that meeting that way and learning about the person is great ,then I think its time to test the water . If the connection is lost it never was ..

Great topic for a chat room or a blog.
Many comments have already been posted and most of them true. Because FriendFinder-x is a sexual site, most of the interaction obviously has to do with sex. However, once in a while you will read a profile that catches your eye..not because of the sex but because there is something in the profile that tweaks something inside of you. It might be the book that person is currently reading or some outside interest that also happens to be yours as well. Then the challenge becomes to cultivate those common areas and hope that the spark you felt is also felt by the other party.

I think the reason we get tied up in online only is just fear. The older we get, the more baggage we carry betwween our own experiences and watching people we care about get mistreated. Online creates an illusion of safety. Comfortable to be open yet not get close and feel vulnerable.

I agree that we need to interact. You never know where the best friends are at. You have to be brave enough to step out of that comfort zone and try.
