Cancelled my Facebook account today. After getting a few "confirm that you know so and so" messages from supposedly "sweet young things" (prolly fat old men like me) that stated their interest was "men" and a slew from people I've never heard of before and never will again, I cancelled.
A friend is someone I do/have done things with IN PERSON more than once.
An acquaintance is someone I've only done something with once.
What is so hard to figure out about that? You need face to face time to make a friend. If you are a recumbent rider like me, a friend is someone I ride or hike with, someone I can help fix a flat for, kibbitz with over coffee and a cherry Danish, or help align the wheels of their trike.
Someone sending me an e-mail saying "be my internet friend" just ain't in the same league.
