Monet Friend

A friend who is great and fun at a distance, like in another state or on an online networking site like facebook. But not quite as much great fun when up close and personal, like in your every day life, or over for diner with your family.

I have an old friend online whose jokes keep me laughing, and has good advice. But she lives so far away, it seems she'll never get to meet my family! She'll have to be a Monet Friend.

I was so excited to run into an old neighbor until I saw her social networking page. She seems to be hookin these days. She got demoted to Monet Friend and won't be invited for diner anytime soon!!
