Right, I asked this same question a couple years ago to a long standing service buddy who I've known since the early eighties. When we were separated by half the globe, we were in CONSTANT communication with long winded cassette tape letters, photos, phone calls and cards.
He moved to my home city of Denver in 2001 and we fell into a once every 6 or 8 months visiting pattern. This year we established a set appointment. Every Wednesday that I'm in Denver (2 of 4) we meet after he gets off work at a local coffee house to ogle women and catch up. You've ask the question. Now find out how many of your "near by" friends are thinking the same thing, and what you can do about it. You just might be pleasantly surprised!

I think this subject, or something similar was posted before. I think I remember posting to it..but at the risk of repeating myself..
It seems we have different friends for different reasons in our lives..
There are casual friends.. you chat with casually. The friends you confide your deepest feelings to and/or go to for advice. The ones you know will always step up and be there when in need and you for them. The party friends.. The ones that relate to different parts of your life..like..shopping friends or young mothers, etc. We are multifaceted so, for me anyway, that is how it seems to work with my friends. Etc.etc.
I think there are different roles in our lives for people and vice versa.
At work, I have only one friend that is into bikes...a man..but he is French and I can't understand a word he says, lol! I have other friends that I go to listen to bands with. We are music lovers. Including my principal (boss) who is a big blues fan as I am. Another girl confides in me, as a mom, since she never had a mom and despite the fact I never had a child.
But my dearest, closest friends, with the exception of one, live out of state.
So maybe the ones you know out of state fill that role for you too??
Maybe the ones close by are still friends but of a different type.
One of those 3 taught me this many, many years ago..while trying to explain to another friend that she cannot have all these great and common expectations of everyone in her life. We all fill different needs and roles.
It really helped me to learn it too.
Take care! T

It means you ask no questions and pass no criticisms; you multiply joys and divide griefs; you never shake off a friend in need; and to have a friend, you need to be one.

I know what you mean. I have a lot of acquaintances but all the people I called friends are now dead.The last died last month after being a quadriplegic for 3 years. I always stopped by to see him on Saturday for breakfast. It was the least I could do cause he always came by when I was in the hospital for 4 months after a altercation with a car that I had. The acquaintances I have now are all good people and a lot of fun if we run into one another but I don't call them friends. Maybe I am jaded?
