Am I the only with these feelings? Jul 24, 2006
Either this forum is great or something is wrong with me. Have been in Dubai 1 month and was feeling very bored and lonley before i discovered this forum. But i dont feel that anymore. i have hardly put any posts(compared to you all!!!). All i do is go through the forum 3 - 4 times a day and read everyones posts. And now i feel part of it. Its weird. I haven't met anyone and hardly PMed anyone. Can 'virtual' friends substitute 'real' friends? Or do i need to get a life??!! Isn't meeting people face to face important?? Can one have long lasting 'cyber' relationships??

Phew!!! Finally got that out. Was bugging me for a while.

No, I dont. But i have read some of her posts. Now i am thinking maybe i made a mistake by putting up a post. I thought this was an open forum.

it is and they're just having a laugh, I'm sure there are others that feel like you.

You admit to being on the forums as a lurker for a while, you likely know we all have our quirks.

As long as this forum kills your time, nothing wrong with it. Obviously it is important to meet and make friends in real, which you will in some time...
meanwhile, do contribute! see you around :wink:
