Did you make any friends here on Digital Point?

I got a question for all members.. Did you make any friends here?? Maybe through business or just hanging out.. I'm really interested to hear...

 

I've made three friends on here since I joined up. In one case I had the pleasure of meeting this member when they stayed at my place when passing through. All three I chat with fairly regularly on the phone.
One is someone that I met doing business with, the other two I met socially here.

 

I met few good friends here on DP.. We start with doing business, but now we are really good friends..

 

Not yet, I'm 18, and I recently just became active. I hope I do though.

 

There are lot of people socializing here on DP... It is the best forum, if you want to business...

 

Hmm, that is interesting Spoiltdiva.. I see you as a good person for chating, and someone who easy makes good relationships with people..

Business makes strong relationships...

I'm only 21, really young and I signed up just few months ago and I already have couple of nice conversations with people who are willing to help and socialize..

 

Yes, there are fantastisc people here on digitalforum.
Even the big boss Shawn is one of the most gentil and straight forward guy around here.
People will help you here and we will help others.
It is a great community, what can i say, I love it

 

There was someone on here who I would say was a good friend (TCR) and we kept in contact (SMS, Facebook, email, Google Chat, etc) even after I had stopped using DigitalPoint for a while. Very regularly, even exchanged some Christmas gifts. Sadly, he has passed away (August 2010). Chris was a great guy. He will never be forgotten. Sorry to be gloomy. I do have some living friends, too. Well, at least there are some people I like a lot on here and I stalk ("follow"). ;-)

 

just business for me at the moment

 

I'm afraid not, although I'm not really active. Obviously, I might, but at 15 it's unlikely

 

I have hard time making friends in real life, let alone on any forum. Don't get me wrong, I am friendly and easy going, but I only allow a few trusted people into my life. Growing up I only had 2 good friends. I am still a friend with one of them, even though we see each other once every 2-3 years. The other one killed himself (hanged himself) after finding out that his wife cheated on him with his older brother.

Today, I'd say, only my wife is my true friend and companion.

Does it sound kind of sad and morbid... or no?

 

Maybe you have to open up a little bit. Their are always very good friends but normally you could have a bunch of normal friends on the side.

Sad things will always happen but it's only if we let them change us that we are lost

 

I'm the same, don't worry

 

That is a truly awful, traumatic event in your life. I can see why that might have altered your perceptions on human nature a bit. I can understand why you allow only a few trusted people in your life. The operative word here is *trust*. The event you described would shatter a sense of trust with most anyone who experienced that.

My problem is the opposite of yours. I have way too many people wanting to be my friend and it gets a bit irritating at times. I need to do stuff and it involves being in my office (at home) and I just cannot always get away like they want me to. My phone rings too often and unfortunately its often a social call. My business number rings to and that's the call I'll pick up, while ignoring the social call.

 

Yes I have made few friends here, I have met 2 members in person from Digital Point in London.

 

Did you guys go out on a date? (DatingExpert = Dating)

 

Lucky you

Any lucky everyone else as well, it's a bit of a shame I find making friends anywhere difficult

 

I just joined, but I am sure I will eventually make some good friends

 

Good thread to make friends on. Never really discussed more then business on DP so far.

 

I wish I would, it was like coaching them on few things.
