this may sound weird but I have always preferred the face to face, outside the computer relationships/ friendships. maybe that stems from I grew up in a location that did not have computer access. I also saw this movie one time called the net that fictionalized possible problems with a woman who made the internet her life, I realized watching that, that in real life it can be a danger to make the internet relationships my life. I would rather people know I exist as a human being rather than just a username and face (both of which can be fabricated with all kinds of software these days so you never know who or what you are actually talking to online). Not to metion the internet is part of my job and how I pass my break times and when feeling a bit under the weather. So normally I limit how long I am on the internet and make non computer time a priority.
