Friends that won't delete you? Would carry their friendship into the real world? Would invite you to meet their family? Would show up in you darkest hour? We are lucky when some of our fl crosses over from the superficial to the real friend realm. How many do you have?

    I think I know three in real life... I have only recently started adding to my fl so I am not sure how many will become good friends...

    hopefully many

    I can think of three that I trust implicitly. Four if you count my husband...but he never engages in the social aspect of MFP so he doesn't "count." :laugh:

    0. Well, my SIL is on here but I wouldn't count her as she is family and they're obligated LOL. But other than that, 0. A few have offered to meet if we're ever in the same part of the world, but honestly it's a bit hard when you get on better with others in differing countries LOL

    I feel that way about a couple on my list. I look forward to their updates, I genuinely get excited about their successes and feel for them when they fall.

    3. I KNOW for a fact they would be there for me no matter what. 4 if you count my best friend off line but I already know she would be there no matter what.

    None.
    There are lots of lovely people on there, but they are Internet contacts not "friends".

    None. A couple I like more than the rest for various reasons, but no one I couldn't live without.

    Thought I had one but I think none, No one on here is obligated by friendship or loyalty to me so... with this I stand alone!

    I am fortunate enough to have about a half-dozen that I would consider real friends. I have no doubt there could be more, we just haven't made that connection yet.

    I have a few friends on my list that I actually have known for years off of other websites and I would for sure have them meet my family and be there for them. No doubt.

    There are probably.. 4 that are not from other sites that I would meet in real life and would let them met my parents, why not.

    Loads! At least a dozen I'd love to meet and continue a meaningful relationship with in person. Several I have already met and our friendships have transitioned wonderfully :bigsmile: This community is definitely a very real part of my life.

    Judge away, if you like.

    I have three. They know who they are and they know how important they are to me.

    Don't get me wrong though. There are A LOT of amazing people on my FL. I just don't let many people into my life beyond being an acquaintance.

    Haha... I'm not good with social things. Having too many friends I'd feel pressured to comment on all their stuff and eventually I'd start avoiding the website. I've tried to get over it but my brain just can't balance all the people. I don't really have good friends IRL either but that's how I've always been.
