Background:
- I am male, 20 years old
- Online friend is male, 18 years old
Let's call my friend Dean, we've known each other for nearly 8 years now and have played together on PlayStation pretty much every week since then. We laugh a lot, have the same taste in music, like games and memes. We write each other daily, both problems and funny stuff/memes. I could easily visit him, he only lives like 40 minutes away from me.
Problem:
You could say we're best friends, except for the part that we haven't met each other in real life - although we use Snapchat regularly I simply don't know how to approach him if I see him. We talked about a ton of embarassing things I don't want to mention here and still can talk to each other like brothers - but via voicechat.
He seemed to get quite social over the last few years. I also got a lot more social and talkative but I still have problems talking to people because I simply don't know what to talk about. Simply talking about games all the time isn't that great of a topic. The weather is also not an option.
Disclaimer:
I don't have problems talking with other friends whose background I know well (what their hobbies are, what they do for a living, etc.)
Question:
Would talking about other hobbies and happenings in our lives be weird considering the circumstances in which we're friends?
