How long have your online friendships lasted?

[LegsOpenedWide]

So for those that have/had chat buddies, has it been once offs or ongoing and long lasting? If so, how long?
Just curious really

There have been some that were two or three days.
But the best ones, those that there was a connection have lasted for years.

I've had a couple of online friendships that have lasted for years. One of them is approaching 10 years. We don't chat as often as we once did, but we still keep in touch.

One that lasted over 5 years stopped abruptly, and I never found out why, and that has worried me.

You being a woman I would say they will last as long as YOU wish. Just try to remember, the person on the other end may have a tiny bit of feelings so when YOU walk away have the courtesy to say goodbye. Sorry to offend you, just saying how I feel.


we are sticks floating on a river, sometimes together, sometimes alone

I've had some online friends since 2003, many of which are now in-person friends.

I've got several that are 10+ years and still going. The ebb and flow like the rest of life, but otherwise are pretty constant - and they're no longer just purely online. I think with online relationships they tend to pattern like real relationships - if you're the type of person that has long friendships IRL, then you'll have long relationships online too.

 

[Dreamer110]

Mine not so long. But my wife's had a few.

 

[soflabbwlvr]

One lasted over 15 years. There were ups and downs, we met a few times, the intensity ebbed and flowed over time.

The rest have been anywhere from a few days to around three years now.

not long , I may be unlucky but i find a lot of guys can only respond with one or two sentences and put very little effort into it... then complain when they havent heard from you for a week..

I prefer to have long lasting ones, however I find it difficult to find compatible people who have a similar schedule

I prefer to have a bit more of a back and forth dialog rather than long messages. I'm all for putting in effort and building a relationship, but I'm just not one to messages that contain 3 paragraphs.

It's not only guys who do this. I've had some pretty hot chats with women (or at least they identify themselves as women). I put a lot of thought into our roleplay and the response is sometimes just a "Yessssssss" "Oh, God." It really needs to be reciprocal.

That being said, I had one that lasted about 4 or 5 months.

I've had several friends found here who I have chatted with for 2-3 years. Some more frequently than others but our topics do vary from the mundane to the fun. One friend and I spoke for almost 4 years but then she disappeared. I hope that she's ok and just gave Lit up for an extended Lenten penance. I have found that sometimes it is a 1 line response. My thinking is that it is that way in a conversation. Sometimes one feels like chatting and other times not. I guess if the response is always that way, then that does say something about the other person.

I have a 3 Yahoo lady friends who I am friends with for over 5 years each..back when Yahoo had chat rooms

 

[IARainman]

I've had a few and they vary from just one session to several months, even a couple years.

I find that when I the quicker we get naughty, the quicker it dies. I've had a few where I really put out a lot of effort writing out fantasy scenarios for their pleasure, then they just disappear. Would really prefer someone on-going but that seems hard to find.

Always open to any women who want to get to know me, but I prefer YIM or KIK as the pm interface here gets clunky when you're using a phone (with all the reply history to try to clean up.)

 

[GingerGurl66]

I had one online relationship that lasted about 2 years. It quickly morphed into phone conversations, and we almost met for real. I am looking for an online relationship that includes roleplay but it is hard to find people, men or women, who are literate enough to carry on a conversation.

 

[L0tus]

I have an online friend for over 10 years now. We don't talk often but every now and then we do go on binges of skype calls and texts. Even after so long they have remained an online friend and we haven't met IRL. Even so, making online friends is quite simple but keeping them is another thing since we're all so busy.

This.
I had one friend, in particular, with whom our relationship lasted a little more than a year; some have lasted for several months; others for a couple days or an hour.
The one thing in common for the longest-lasting ones is proximity: Women on or near the West Coast match up with my schedule better, and I believe that leads to more contact and more-intense sessions.

 

[MacGuffinn]

Only the ones I've taken offline last. The rest vary as real life takes people away from conversing regularly or at all.

Friends

I have been active on Am Pic and have made a number friends, but for various reasons they have exited. It is sad that folks that you like, check out. I have considered chucking this Lit thing, but like it and will try again.

 

[ExiledWelshman]

The longest one is over 10 years, we live 50 miles apart and have never met. Happy with the status quo.

 

[justashygirl]

I have one friend who I met back in 2001. We were very close online, and remained so for about 8 years. We've hung out a few times in the time that we've known each other, but have drifted a bit over the years. We still catch up every once in a while.

 

[Mantra23a]

My longest is 14 years, we have met several times each year but it's primarily a on-line relationship/

 

[fullservice65]

I'm curious: What was that first in-face meeting like? Were you nervous or laid back? How long did it take for someone to break the ice and suggest that you meet?

 

[MatthewVett]

I've had one last 13 years. My longest one still lasting is only a bit younger, like, 11 years?
