So,I was thinking that I just found out that my aqua bff who is also my bf is moving out of town and we won't really meet each other for another year or so. And I gotta say that I'll miss that bastard and that I shall look for someone who understands my stupidity,lol. :p

So my question is that...I got a lot of long distance friendships(I keep contact with friends I met on vacations) , but I find it kinda stressing to always talk to someone who ain't there , sometimes I just wanna get back to real life,real people,not online/phone people...so is it just me or you too?How do you handle long distance relationships/friendships?

It's kind of hard for me to handle anything long distance. It's mainly b/c as an Aqua, it takes me so long to finally open up to someone. And when I FINALLY do open up, I like to tell them all the details & trimmings to every story. I like for my close circle of friends to see & hear EXACTLY what I'm talking about. And when I get used to being able to tell someone everything, while knowing that they know EXACTLY who/what I'm talking about, it kind of sucks when that person moves away.

And it sucks b/c that person no longer being close (location-wise) means that it'll be harder for me to keep my friends caught up on everything that is going on with me. Almost like, if I can't tell you ALL of the story, OR if I have to start from the beginning, I'd rather just not tell you at all.

And since most people become very busy once they move, there's almost ALWAYS a time when I miss out on opportunities to share something with them that they would've understand more had they been face to face with me. It's important to us Aquas that we can see your face, observe you, learn/analyze your body language & be able to express our emotions as face to face as possible. Sure there's always a wonderful telephone that can still keep us connected, BUT there's nothing like being able to touch & see the person we care for dearly, especially in bad situations when we really need others.

I usually end up eventually losing touch with any friends/partners that end up moving or vice versa. It's not even that I stop trusting them and/or that the friendship is no longer considered "worth it." No, it's moreso that it takes the thrill out of getting so close to someone if I know that if I needed them to come over right at this second, that they wouldn't be able to.
