it depends...but for me yes although not all but i found 2..one from belgium i knew him 11 years ago..we talked about everything even things that are too personal..we talked about each other's lovelife and once in a while he came to philippines to see me and my relatives..now that i am married and has a baby we still connect. he's giving me advice about married life..the ups and downs of marriages..it feels good when you have someone you can share your sentiments with..even if they are just from the net still u can feel their sincerety
