I met up with one or two
I made a pick up from a store near me to deliver to someone.
I did however meet my best friend on a different website. Online friendship is possible

Have not met anyone from here IRL, but have from other sites. Mostly good experiences, and some great! Have many good friends who originally met online.

One of my closest supports right now I met on this website. We haven't had an opportunity to meet yet but we built a real relationship over email.
(Making friendships over email is potentially dangerous but there are ways to make sure it's safe.)

Never. I am always afraid to share information with people online, even though you think you know them genuinely. You never really know. I know I might be missing out on potential relationships I'm too scared.

How do you know if you can trust a person? in order to become a real friend one needs to share real life information and some secrets in order to see that you have stuff in common, if you know what I mean. So it's a risk. I really wonder, how do people do it?

I did it on a different website. I met my best friend on a harry potter writers role playing website.
Honestly, I thought she was someone who I would never cross paths with in real life so I asked if I could spill my deep dark secrets and then did. And she became a support and then let me in to her life and it grew

You're super lucky it happened that way. I actually met someone on a conference call. I liked how she talked asked for her phone number and now 2 years later we are best, best friends. we can tell each other anything...

I agree with you. In my case, it started with PMs because I enjoyed certain posts of hers and we were messaging back and forth. It took quite a few weeks (maybe months, I can't remember) before I felt safe enough to share my name and location. I am very cautious and don't just do that easily here.
I actually would suggest you DON'T rush to share private information with a stranger online. It can be very unsafe and may come back to bite you. Only if you are 100% comfortable and after you have enough proof that the other person is trustworthy.

She can still wish she'll end up making a good friend here even if she just joined.

I did, but I was on amother 10+ years ago and rejoined, and this is not the only message group I'm part of. I was talking in general about online message groups...

In my case we did share some feelings towards the beginning but not secrets or anything deep until after we met.
About generally keeping safe, I never would've thought I would make a friend online. It kind of just happened, when we actually shared phone numbers and I went to visit for the first time- at that point I had reason to believe it was safe for me (B"H I was right), after that it flowed from there to a real, close relationship.

Do you generally have a hard time trusting people?

I had one horrible story that happened because of a connection I made on here. Was really sobering to say the least. I’m a lot more cautious since then. But I don’t regret the connections I DID make with some wonderful people.

I keep my online friends and friends IRL separate as a boundary. I don't take imamother relationships offline.
