 | Sometimes i just feel so uncertain and confused when it comes to the friendship with foreigners------I used to and even now still have many, since i majored in English, so naturally, i prefer to browse the english website and read English magazine and also watch CCTV 9............No special reasons, just want to know the language and culture and also cultural shocks.......... But, how to establish and maintain the friendship? so it depends? I found myself not so confident about this........In spite of the gender, age and nationalities, how? Will there be any general rules? I am all ears. |

| Maintaining the friendship is easy, keep in touch I have around 100 Chinese 'friends' on my msn, every few months I delete some because they have never been online or contacted me. I will speak to them for several months then they seem to disappear off the planet. Just an email or message every now and again is enough. Maybe they just know too many people. better to be friends with a few than a memory to many |

| I you have Skype you can show yourself as online or "SkypeMe" which is an invitation for people to contact you. However, women must expect to get some rather unsavoury (unpleasant) characters contacting them wanting more than a chat. It is also possible to search for male or female, age group, language, country, and check profiles for people to contact. On your own profile you can specify what topic you do or do not wish to chat about and if you have mic or cam. |

| Thanks, Davec. I will bear it in my mind and put it into practice-------"Maintaining the friendship is easy, keep in touch.""Just an email or message every now and again is enough." "better to be friends with a few than a memory to many."yes, but it is the time for me to find out whom belongs to "a few:........not greedy, hehe. |

| I think skype is good and the voice is clearer than msn (my own experience), but like you said some people behave not to our expectations, with unbecoming conduct. Well, you can always filter these messages, either by ignoring or blocking them. Wan |

| GUESTVICKY | I have the same problem with you. Here I want to share with you my experience with foreigners. I had been an English teacher in a school during last summer holiday. There is a black man from Ghana who teaches oral English. We share the teaching for a long time, so I contact with him more than other teachers. I tried my best to talk with him, but I don’t know why he was unapproachable. Maybe he is not the one that what I think a foreigner should to be---talkative and easygoing. Anyway, I lost the “friend”. It is much difficult to make friends with foreigners like him. It works when you meet ones who are “the rights”.  |
