Since I was about 13, I've always had friends online, people I role-played with and cybered with and such. then as the years went on, I got more of these playmates. Then I noticed a couple years ago that most are leaving me... not getting online anymore, not talking as much and not playing with me. It's rightly annoying! I want more playmates, but more importantly, I want my old playmates back
That is quite unlikely. As with all in life most people mature, start to have other interests and get bored, then they move on. What at some point in life is novel or a time filler changes. They also tend to develop real relationships that take priority over on-line ones. Not such a bad thing.
I talked to a girl online for two and a half years. I even visited her down in the States one summer... She never logs on anymore. She was my best friend.
Truth is you really don't know people online. Seriously you are online. Its not like we have an emotion bar. its sad but its also cyber space!!!
Friends grow apart in all circles, but Internet friends definitely do the easiest. You can add me to messenger if you ever wanna chat (seem cool), but the roleplaying - look elsewhere.
Cyber-sex makes you feel much more involved in the whole aspect of it, unlike porn, where you're just an observer. ...Not that I'd know or anything.
but do i really want to feel involved with writing a crappy harlequin romance, or would i rather masturbate while observing two attractive people fucking like bunnies?
"Play-mates" "Playing with you"...I hope these are a poor choice of words and you don't treat people like play things to pick up and play with at your whim.
I think your taking her wording a little to seriously. One if thats all they were to her were "things to pick up and play with" she wouldnt be so upset about loosing her friends. Two if your doing somthing you both like and its not somthing serious, weather its todlers playing with toys or adults fucking each others brains out, your still in a sence playing. Try not to take everything literal and have a heart.
Perhaps, that's why I said: "I hope..." ...if that isn't what she meant, then fair enough. (Remember I'm hoping this isn't what she meant) It could be that she didn't know what she had till they were gone... ...this allows her to have either treated them like play things, and come to a humbling realisation, or that she genuinely saw them as close friends and genuinely does miss them terribly *sniff*. Then I would say: "Fair enough, sorry to hear your play mates are drifting away - *hug*"...it just sounded faintly patronising...hence me asking what she meant. I'm only 60% cynical. I do ask what is meant before jumping off the deep end and say something like: "Christ, you heartless bitch, treat them like human beings rather than puppets on a string."...with out asking what was meant. I'd prefer to be set straight, than jump to conclusions (I wasn't intentionally doing that if that is what you think). I'm all heart, me... (If I didn't have a heart I wouldn't be questioning what was meant, whould I?)
