So there's this guy I used to know...his name is Brian...he lives all the way on the other side of the country from me. We had an online friendship for about 4 years and things were great at first then he stopped caring and didn't respond as much then he stopped responding all together. It really hurt because he was my ONLY friend at the time.
Also how we met was really weird too. I was at my computer and at the time I had AIM. The thing with AIM was you couldn't send a message unless it had something written in the text box. AIM was basically an instant messenger, So I was at my computer and this blank IM box comes up. It was ******** (like I'm gonna give out his screen name). Here is what happened:
Me: hi
Him: hi
Me: why did you contact me?
Him: you contacted me.
Me: no I didn't.
Him: all that came up was a chat box that said ******* and "hi"
Me: that's weird
*more back and forth messaging*
Me: are you a Christian?
Him: yes
And that is how our four-year friendship began. We both concluded that God was the one who sent the original IM. A few months ago I got in contact with him and we talked. It was nice because I got some closure. There was one thing I could not stop thinking about though. At the end of our conversation he said that we had an "ordained" friendship. I was kinda sad because I didn't know if he really believed that or if he was just saying that. I'm not so sure I believe it was "ordained." He came with a lot of hurt. Yes God knows how to work a computer but so can satan right? I don't know what to think...
A small part of me still misses him. I don't know why...I just wish I had some answers as to how we met that first night.
What do you think about all this?
