How many on your fl are true, deep, friends?

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.

Pebble321

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

one

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

Blayzn10Tiffers

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.

ToughTulip

SO many! I have a lot of people on my fl that I would love to meet, hang out with, and be real life friends.

Met some really amazing people here

CarleyLovesPets

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.

Topsking2010

None but I am on MFP to encourage others to live a healthy lifestyle. That is my goal!!!

meagalayne

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.

still_crafty

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.

Pinkigloopyxie

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.

Sp1nGoddess

One...maybe.

jus_in_bello

I have a three. One I've met, the other two I'd give limbs to meet.

jboccio90

deleting people is against my religion.

californiagirl2012

typically real true friends you can count on one hand, and you see them in person in your real life.

My sister.

Get out of here! ANYTIME you have to start "Qualifying" Friend or Love you know it is ALL FONY! A Friend IS a Friend. Only people who DO NOT know what a Friend is Qualifies it with Adjectives; why not just call "them" what they are>>>Acquaintances, Associates, Someone I/You know, Online Pal/Buddy. I'll also say this, ANYONE I have NOT met IRL and KNOW them CAN NOT Be a Friend, you do NOT know who or what is behind a screen name. Is this world getting so shallow and people so desperate for companionship that they will develop affection for a "Screen Name?" SICK!

Hi,
I just started about a week ago and I finally found out how to place a comment here! I just want to say that I think you're wrong about people on line. I met a woman almost 5 years ago on a game and she lived in California and I live in Pa. We had both lost our best friends from cancer and I most recently back then. This woman is now my best friend and I trust her with my life. We have both been a God-send to one another. We have yet to meet and that is both our dream, because she is originally from Pa. Maybe someday we will get that blessing, but if it never happens, she is still my BFF. Now and always..So, please don't sell others short, some on line care deeply for others, and sometimes others need a friend too! God bless you...Hope we can become friends...

Hi,
I feel so bad for so many here, because they, like you feel nobody really cares about them. That's not always the truth. I hope you can see my reply to someone else that felt the same way. I know that I care, or I wouldn't be wasting my time replying to your posts. You are not alone here! If you'd like to contact me, please do...but in the meantime, God's always there for you...so may He bless you and show you that others do care!

Aventuria

I just started adding friends, so none so far. but that's a subject to change! :laugh:

VelociMama

I have a handful I think would be incredible friends in real life, but sadly, distance and time/cost of travel is a problem.

bikinibeliever

I have 70 on my list.

Of those I know a handful in real life.

I could delete some, but would keep about 25.

Would, if I could, meet about 15 of the 25.

Have already made plans to meet 1.
