If you have Facebook and play some games on that, you may have "Game friends" to help clear the quests or give energy each other.
About 2years ago, my sister became friends with a very nice and friendly American lady. My sister introduced her to me as the game friends. We sometimes have chat on the game and sometimes we have chat on the messanger as well. And we finally became friends with her mother, husband and two lovely sons on the Facebook. Which was so interesting for us.
One day, one of her son sent me a message. I was soo surprised to get it. Because I didn't expect to get it from him. He's American teenager boy so I had no idea how I could talk with him.
Anyway, I just asked him basic questions like school, friends etc I just thought he would get bored to chat with me sooner or later. But he kept texting me almost everyday. I asked him what made him to text me suddenly. He said he just wanted to chat with Japanese people and I was the only Japanese he knows who speak English. That's makes sense. But he didn't think my age was close to his mother. That was so funny though.
We still enjoy chatting. I like to learn anything I've never known. So to talk with him, I can understand what teenager think every day life and learn 'Young American English"
If I have chance to meet him in person in the future I am sure I will be happy.
Of course there's no romance between him and me. I am giving him some advice to meet a nice girl.
It seem not work though lol Trust me, I never tell his mother about that lol
If you have such a friend who accidently became friends, I hope you keep in touch with him/her.
