lol hello everyone!
Ive been thinking about this for a while and was wondering what other thought.
Ive noticed, at least for me, that its pretty hard to make friends on websites like this. and no its not because im a loser, its just that i dont know really how people actually become friends on websites that you just post comments on.
Ive had some friends before, like on the IT site though they all came to me. So my question is, how often do you make really good friends on websites like FH?
For me? like one friend every month or two D:
-
...I.. really don't know O___O I have no friends either, no worries ;D
I'm guessing just be social, but not in an annoying way
-
sometimes its hard to be social when all your doing is answering quesions D:
It really makes me wonder how people can have so many friends lol
-
Same. I mean I make friends while rping and posting in the games section because you meet people who enjoy doing the same thing your doing. xD
-
For me, I usually make friends in Clans and such, since another forum is similar to this. :3 Plus roleplays, and forum games. ^^
-
hmmmm okay :) thanks everyone. Ill go look for some clan Rp's and stuff
-
Oh, if your into warrior's could you join my clan? I'm in need of a leader. 0.o

Well when I lurk around forums, I notice certain people that catch my interest. For example their opinions are often opinions which I agree with, or we seem to have common interests. Then I PM them and after a few PMs back and forth we share each other's MSN addresses, and then it just goes on from there o3o

oooo i see. thank you Teal :) thats very helpful too! i might try that out sometime

I've been checking out the intro/bio section of the forum and looking for people to appeal to me. Usually it's something a little more than just their interests that catch my eye. Like a belief of theirs or something they've had to go through. I used to keep to myself online but have been much more adamant about making friends because I've made so many throughout the years. Lasting friends. Not just the "Cool, you're on!" Sort. But the sort that are there through the milestones of your life to see you grow. You can find some of the most amazing people online. I look at it like this. What are the odds that someone in your town is going to have loads in common with you, and is easy for you to get along with? You might find a couple. But online, you find yourself surrounded by people who have things in common with you. Here's it's fursonas and animals, on Deviantart it's well... art. Etc. And having one thing in common often means having several things in common!
I met the love of my life online. Not trying to. Not on internet dating sites or anything. I just commented on the most beautiful pencil work I'd ever seen in my life and the next thing you know, we talk constantly for ages in one form or another (writing, phone calls, webcam, video games), visit, and now I'm living with him. I constantly forget how we met until something like this is brought up. x) I think it helps to have a strong sense of who you are as a person to make friends online, because you rely solely on the things you say. I'm sure there are a lot of things that make you interesting. Maybe all you need to do is talk about them. :D
One problem I can see on these forums might be that people don't check these as often as other forums, as it seems to be something people are just using during FH's downtime. There's also not as many people on here as other places on the web, obviously, but that doesn't mean you can't make some fantastic friends. :D
I write a lot. Geeez. Hope to see you in game!

I just stand there and everyone wants to be my friend because I'm cool.
Not really. I have no friends on here. I just have people I know from other websites and such. I guess that's sad. Even in-game I just wander around aimlessly until some people chase me down for getting in the way of their RP. I just lack the complete social skills to actually meet people, but I'd love to if anything.
Just... I dunno. Go into clans? Show people who you are. Don't be afraid to chat with certain people. I'm always open for PM's if anything.
That's cheesy. And creepy. I'm probably officially labelled an online creeper.
Life is complete.

I've made some great friends online, just not on this site because I just started, but on other rpgs I've made friends that have lasted years, and on YouTube I met someone I've known for over a year and they're coming to see me this summer if everything goes well. He mails me gifts and all that great stuff. Youtube has made a lot of long lasting friendships for me, and all it is IS commenting on other people's channels by roleplaying. If you want to know them on a more personal level, then send a PM or something. It works for me.
