Have you ever made a lifelong friendship with a stranger that you met online? Feel free to share your story!

Met a guy from another country while playing an online game. We started chatting and noticed we had similar senses of humor. Kept meeting him online to play, eventually traded emails . Learned that even tho he was from another country, he'd moved to the states and lived only an hour or so from my house.

We started doing stuff together on weekends (like once or twice a month). I'd go see him or vice versa. He was married and I had a g/f and everyone got along. We would email and IM each other all the time, too. This lasted approximately 3 years or so.

Then out of the blue he gets a divorce and moves several states away. Fell out of contact with him. He turned into a different person. He was pretty young when we first met. People sometimes change on you.
