I have some friends from a couple Internet forums. (ETA: It's only about 10-15 people.)
I also have some cousins and second cousins that I only know through Facebook.

My friends list is very small as well, but Runsyellowlites and I are friends on fb and have never met. We became "close" on WB and then had our babies around the same time as well.

Not many. I had one facebook friend who I didn't know in person -- a former weddingbee blogger who works in the same field of science that I do. But she introduced herself to me in person after I gave a talk at a conference, so now we've met at least once in person!

I have some. A few of them are long distance family members and the others are army wives & moms that I got to know while DH went through basic training.

A few cousins, 2 women I know from a Swedish forum I used to frequent, and a handful of my old gamer friends. I almost forgot the teachers from my online course.

Nope, after college I did a huge facebook "friend" overhaul and deleted 500+ people. Now I'm down to 100 and it's all close friends and family.

Just a couple. My friends list is really small, but a couple of DH's college friends friended me before our wedding but didn't end up making it. Felt like I had to accept and then didn't want to unfriend & have them think I was mad they didn't come to our wedding. If we don't meet in the next year or by the time we have a LO, I'll delete.

This was fun to go look through my fb friends and see!
Right off the bat I knew I have some wb/hb friends on there that I have not met (maybe someday for some!)
I had a penpal in England when I was in elementary school, a few years ago I found a picture of her and her family with her name on the back, I looked her up on fb and we re-connected, but have not met in real life!
Few cousins of DHs I have definitely never met.

@Beebug: That's cool that you reconnected with a pen pal. I had one but I don't have any of her info anymore.

Yep. I have a lot of weddingbee friends that I have never met but truly think of them as friends, but I if I don't recognize them from their picture I've started to unfriend them.

Yep - Weddingbee/HB people. I used to be really involved in the Weight Watcher message boards so I have a few friends left from that as well.

A ton! I'm active in a lot of debate groups for military wives, and several other military spouse type groups, so I think have between 20-30 people I haven't met IRL, but who I hope to one day!

Yes! Some of my DH's family friends who I have never met have sent me friend requests. I always accept because I don't want to be rude but I think it's so weird! I see one womans updates about her two kids every day with pictures and I know it's going to be so strange if/when I finally meet her because I know waaay too much about her lol!
