Either is just fine. As long as you know they are your friends.

It rather depends on the situation. There are some people you are just never going to meet in real life so there's nothing wrong with making friends with them online. That's how I made friends with my e-friend 5 years ago. She lives in a different country. We met on a message forum and I'd noticed we'd write virtually the same response to posts. So, I contacted her. Since then, we've been emailing regularly and she's even been to visit us along with her husband. It was lovely having them stay with us. They're such lovely people.

The net has been great for me as I am physically disabled and its improved my life.I have found websites and groups of people like myself.I wont bore you with the details as it may shock you a bit. Its about my only chance of finding a partner.

People you know in person are more accessible and you can use the internet to stay in touch if they are away for a long time. I have made a few good friends on websites, but we don't really prioritise eachother. They're in different countries so its not like we can ask favours or anything. Its just nice to hear about their lifestyle every now and then. There are a few creepy people on the internet who might become attached to you and message you more often than you'd like, so be careful when making new friends on social sites like myspace or facebook. It helps to check their profile and make sure you have a lot in common.

Both types of relationships meet different needs. So there's nothing wrong with having both or for preferring one over the other.

Don't come to rely only on internet friends. If you lose you online connection, you lose those friends as well.
-
TRUE friends are such a rare and precious commodity in these evil days and time, that it shouldn't matter WHERE you meet them!!!
-
Both I think as a human we need the physical presence of people around us. But in saying that I have some amazing internet friends that have gotten me through some tough times. So I think a mixture of both is a good choice for a healthy balance.
-
Definately in person, because you never know whether or not they are using their real name or using fake identity. People can introduce themselves as somebody else in person too, but at least you have seen them and know how they look. Just in case.
-
I don't meet people off the internet in person, I don't believe it is safe for a girl in this day and age.
-
I think the internet really keeps people from taking the time to get to know people in real life. Anonymity is tempting and a lot easier, so people don't have to worry about looking stupid. It takes a lot away from relationships when you think of an avatar rather than a face.
-
Friends on the internet are fine but I prefer real physical contact. Looking someone in the eyes. Seeing their smile or frown. A handshake. A hug....get the drift?
-
yes. because where ever you should make them when ever you can
-
I like making friends in person but making them online (proceed w/caution of course)then it just doubles the fun.
-
Both works well. I've made both kinds and some of them have lasted for over 10 years.
