Dear Steemian friends,
The subject I want to write to you today is about making friends on Steemit and whether it is a good idea to meet them in 'real' life.
I am sure and can see that that lots of good friendships have been forged and formed. I have made a few myself that are very dear to me.
But, I think that if the person that they portray on Steemit is the same person that they are in 'real' life, then it is possible to become good freinds with that person. If either person is not the person they portray themselves as online, then it is all just fake.
After all, that's the premise of online dating sites (I presume as I have never signed up to one).inviting a trusted Steemian friend into my home that I'd never met in real life, but I had talked to them a great deal on Steemit.
In the future, for the most part I will ensure that if I get the opportunity to meet other Steemians, I will go to group events, or places away from home, unless both my heart and head tell me otherwise. And there is still a handful of people that would apply to, if circumstances should dictate the possibility of a meeting.
I'd protect my kids with my life, but sometimes calculated risks need to be taken, its called living. And having no “what ifs” or regrets. I trust my intuition about people.
What do you think on this subject, my fellow Steemians?
