preservation of distance

(originally published May 7, 2011.)



No; if anything, you have to find more reasons to retain the friendship aspects, because intimacy seems built into the net. Intimacy, flirting, and falling in love--those things are easy. Staying in love, that can be tricky. Once that first flush is gone, then it's time for the interchange of ideas, for digging deeper, for really getting to know this person you may never even meet in person.

Of course, the rewards for that are innumerable, and well worth the risk. (Though I don’t see a lot of difference between long-distance relationshipping and in-person relationshipping. I know others aren’t like that.)
