We've been friends for 2+ years through this social networking site, which seems crazy to me...long time it seems. So one of her "real friends" had joined the social networking site recently and just this week, she won't say what happened but they had some kind of falling out due to something that happened online, i've no idea- but now she wants a break- from everyone not just me so...really though I wonder if this is normal is it ok to have such a close friendship with someone online? or what you consider to be close anyway... I work in the film industry, i'm not bad looking, and i have lots of friends and good aquaintances that i REALLY know (my friends that think she and i met on a random set-location) Theres that stigma attached that only weirdos or unattractive people find realtionships online, but I dont fit that bill - how many other people can relate to what I'm saying? is it ok to feel emotion or hurt for someone youve only talked to online? Not sure who to talk to, and I wish there were more info on this kind of thing online. Hmm...good blog! thanks. <a href="http://ijackalope.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">iJackalope.blogspot.com<a> an online friend of mine decided to take a break for a while, it was my idea first, but I decided against it.

I have also found it easier to have diverse friendships online -- at least in the area's I frequent. IRL friends who are not Orthodox always seems a bit standoffish. Like they're afraid I'm going to convert their children or something. :) I’ve been thinking a bit more about what you said.
