After you've had some real relationships that didn't work out, you get to know what feels right and this felt right and is still right and always will be.

That was speed of light. Was it a blur of the moment? Glad it wasn't a wrong decision though.

Not here on MR, but I met my best friend online. While we are not romantic, we are best buddies and talk every day.

Good friends are just as hard to find as a good romantic relationship!

I just noticed this post. I have four things to say.

1) Beautiful stories, shel/chris, astra and jswolf

2) astra, for some reason I had pegged you at half the number

3) I have met some of my closest friends online- many, many friends (I already had a husband by the time I got the internet.... we've been married 15 years.

4) I never would have met my husband online anyway. I don't think there's a single common website we like. His online tastes are extremely different from mine. He doesn't do any types of chats or forums. He used to visit godlike productions forum, but he just lurked.

Oh, I guess I have 5 things to say.... 5) I had to look up "IRC" after everyone kept mentioning. I was trying to guess "In Real Closeness," "If Roses Climb," "I'm Really Cool" ... I won't bore you with the rest, but suffice to say, I was way off.

Darn! I was going to let it slide, figuring "IRC" was just one of those things I would never know about, but now (thanks to you GraceKrispy!) I am going to have to look it up!

After Googling: I guess we're talking "Internet Relay Chat", not "International Rescue Committee"?? Could almost be either!

What they said...

And that's why I only call one person close friend.

Yes and No.
Usually on other forums it a very popular.
Ie: on TL (Teamliquid, games related forums) it's used to make comments on live matches, like Starcraft, League of Legends, Dota (W3 mod), etc.

*sigh* and this to IRC which is a genuine chat mode and not some kind of lousy browser wanna-be of it *weeep*
the next thing to come is probably "what's this email ?"
