If so, where did you meet them? When?
Have you met in real life?

Yep!! My friend, who actually just joined HB cause I asked her to
We met a long time ago, and it was actually through my ex boyfriend. They had a mutual friend. We started out facebooking and IMing and then calling/texting each other. Now we talk to each other on a daily basis about general life stuff. We have always just happened to be in similar walks of life so it's been pretty cool. She had a baby just a couple months after me.
We haven't met yet, but we're trying to plan a trip for me to come visit her in December.

Yes, and she knows who she is! We tried to meet up a few months ago, but baby schedules didn't work out... We're going to meet up in the next couple of months though!

Awwww, that is awesome you guys! I have met several girls through this site who I could *see* myself becoming close to, but no BFF relationships yet!!

Actually yes! My best friend (who ended up being my Maid of Honor) and I met online.
She wrote to me on Myspace (back when I still had myspace, lol) and told me that she read about me in a magazine and she wanted to talk to me cause she thought we had a lot in common. We started IMing, and then emailing, and then phone conversations...
Ended up meeting at a conference, met a few more times, and then she moved to Albania to work with my organization and we shared an apartment for a year.
We're still best friends, years later.

Yes I have plenty of best friends who I have met online. I know I am lame but with my social anxiety I can't go out anymore or hang out so I am losing my real life friends. My online friends don't need to hangout to know what we are friends.

I don't, but I sure hope that some of the people I know who did become bffs online share some photos with me! **wink, wink, nudge, nudge**

@lawbee11 and I have become good friends. We actually live 5 minutes apart! If it wasn't for a "what's for dinner" thread we never would have known.

I do. I met a friend through an online scrapbooking group. We started Google chatting privately and it was the best day ever when we met in person the first time! I love her so much irl and online.

I have a hard time making friends both on and offline. I have difficulty connecting with people through conversation...

Oh I forgot to mention DH, we met conversing on facebook. Conversing with the intent of harrassment.

I do! We work together at a video conferencing company and we're Co-workers. We had video calls tons of times and we finally met in real life when she went to my baby shower.

No! But @Rainbow Sprinkles: I have talked about you to DH because my mind is blown at how similar parts of our lives are!

I met DH online at a dating website, but I also met my best friend online as young teenagers. We both posted regularly on the teenage chicken soup message boards and I flew up to meet her 6 years later... About 6 months after that I moved out of state and we were roommates for about 3 years before I moved back to my home state... We met about 14 years ago and at this point she is my longest standing friend.
