Have you met 'proper' friends on hitched?

Friends you call on in a crisis, who you would do anything for and will be in your life for a long time sort of friends

I have and I really count myself lucky. While I was slicing potatoes before (?) I was trying to think how many hitchers I have met, I lost count but I'm guessing around 30-40 and more to add on a few weeks! Quite of these folks have really become close friends and a small group who I would count as my best friends (well one of them brought me to hitched and the others I met here.) Because of my health and the fact I've never worked, not really able for night school etc, I've not met many friends 'in real life' so I'm very thankful for my weirdie friends!

I have little groups of friends in my head; My really close friends, Edinburgh, North West, London, Flickr, good old 'direct from hitched' friends and people I really want to meet. There is some crossing over, obviously. ? I really dread to think what my life would be like without this place.

So, what about you?

    I have been on holiday with someone I met on hitched ? Met in April 2005, became firm friends. Holidayed in August 2007 with the families!

    There's another whos a very good friend that I met on hitched, pure coincedence that she lived in same town as me AND had a baby the day before me, at the same hospital, same midwife? Yep, we couldn't not meet up ?

    I've also got a few other hitchers whom I consider friends that I've both met and haven't.

    Yay for hitched ?

    I have made about 4 friends who I would consider good drinking (alcohol or otherwise) buddies. I've had a hitcher stay over my house not once but twice,which proves I'm not *that* scary. ? she even came on my hen do, and to the wedding ?

    I don't have that many friends where I live, so I would say the people I talk to most outside of work buddies are the hitchers I have met (it's what happens when you stay in the town where you went to uni - everyone buggers off home after graduation!)

    One person who I have met a few times I now have a lot in common with, and will have even moreso in October. I look forward to getting to know her better over the next year. I'm so glad I've got someone local who I can share this particular experience with. It should be fun!

    Well I talk about you lot to Mr Toosh enough, to call you all friends, but infact I have only ever met one hitcher, who was the sweetest, (non norfolk )person I have ever met, the fact she let me loose on her beautiful hair was amazing.?

    I doubt I will ever meet anymore hitchers as I am the only one in this lonely part of the world.☹️

    Hi to you Mrs Toosh. im also a norfolk hitcher. ?

    I didn't join Hitched to make friends but I seem to have made a handful good ones anyway, especially via the BT DTCers thread.

    I'm not one of those people that has lots of friends - I prefer to have a few really good ones rather than lots of aquaintances and that means I could definately turn to them in a crisis and I hope they feel the same.

    Like JK says, they know who they are.

    I have met a few hitchers and would class at least 2 of them as good friends. Again they know who they are.

    I have met hitchers and have really liked the ones I've met. I'm good friends with 2 of them, 1 has recently moved down here but doesn't much and started over on WP anyway.

    Will meeting another hitcher in a few weeks when I go and stay with them.

    Have chatted to other hitchers through MSN/Facebook and a few in particular (you know who you are) have been fantastic these last few days to me ?

    I've only met one hitcher, but she would have had good potential as a RL friend if she wasn't sodding off oop north in a few weeks I reckon. Other than that no, was hoping I'd make a few more friends on here but most of the people I talk to aren't local - whatcha going to do? Shame because I'm not that good at making friends IRL so I thought the internet weirdies would be right up my street! Hey ho, I still like chatting to people on here though.

    Yes, I've met some bloody brilliant mates through here. There's one or two hitchers I really like and have yet to meet but, apart from them, all the best hitchers are my real life mates. ? what a result.

    ? I'm 20mins from Leeds in York.

    I have never anyone from Hitched but I do chat to one hitcher every day and she has been wonderful throughout everything that has happened with H and me even down to letting me go and stay if I wanted too. I am always wanting to come to meets but I kinda lack transport to get to places when the meets are organised ?

    There are lots of wonderful people on here that show wonderful acts of kindness ?
