Let’s see, my supposed “best” friend hasn’t seen me in person in over three years despite living fifteen-minutes away (he’s busy with work, two children, always stressed).
We have a group of “old friends” who are great, but we see each other maybe once a year.
We have about three couples who are “current friends” but we’re all so busy, about four times a year is all we can manage.
So, real life friends I get to see about every three months at best.
However, Fluther friends I can “see” every day right here on my handy-dandy iPhone.
Internet friends FTW
