It is possible to have valuable freindsships that are purely cyber in nature.

It is a shame in this day and age of cheap communications to let geography stand in the way of friendship.

I use the word "valuable" as opposed to good, as I find that easier to quantify: a freindship where both parties feel enriched from knowing each other, and that their lives would be, even slightly, worse if that had never met.

Now to get closer to your actual question: freiends need somethign to form a friendship about, common interests, shared desires, or even something thy disagree on they can enjoy debating about. Since I don't know you at all, it is hard to know if we would ever be friends!

If you are looking for friends in other countries, I would suggest finding a site where people tend to fill out a more complete profile than on here, and approaching people you find common ground with.

Hope that helps :)

I can answer YES with an example from my life. One of my friendships started online. We first e-mailed for about one and a half year without meeting (even though we do not live that far from one apart). Then when we finally met it felt very good instantly. We really knew each other already. The only thing I regret is that both our computers crashed at one point so we lost our correspondence from the beginning.

My parents and my friends's Father (a tailor) met at an Asia airport over 40 years ago.

My friend is his daughter and we started to write and now email still after 40 years.

We have never met or spoken but we have exchanged photos over the years.

We live completely different lives but we care for each other and write about family and world problems.

I have learn't many things from her including that some Asia countries take care of the environment more than we know and more than our media portrays.

ewwwwwie no
