Isolde Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 By close I mean dear friends, who are not related to you and whom you do not work with or share significant hobbies with, but have known for a long time. By contact I mean email, IM, or phone. Am particularly interested in how often you communicate with long distance friends. Link to post Share on other sites
Lyssa Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I keep in touch with my LD friends via IM, email and phone. IM - almost every day. Email - every other day or week - depending on how busy or long the email is! Phone - every week. Link to post Share on other sites
WTRanger Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 It depends. Some close friends I'll go months without contacting them. Other close friends, it's usually weekly. Link to post Share on other sites
RA1 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I think I'm not a very sociable person. I have only three people I would classify as close friends and they all live in other countries. Contact is usually by email and typically only when there is something specific to say. I would say on average I email each of them 2 to 5 times per year. Link to post Share on other sites
burningashes Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I keep in touch with a dear friend who lives across the country via facebook and I see her once a year. She's coming to visit me in a few weeks :bunny: We do it in spurts, I guess- we would go months without talking then email each other like crazy for a few days then stop for another few months. Weird, but I consider her to be one of my closest friends Link to post Share on other sites
Ruby Slippers Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Good friends in the city: anywhere from a few times a week to about once a month, depending on their schedules and reciprocity. Good friends in other cities: anywhere from once a month to once or twice a year by e-mail, letter, IM, or phone. Link to post Share on other sites
Sweetcheripie Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I have one good friend who moved a couple of states away about 7 years ago and we talk on the phone almost every other day - sometimes every day. We usually chat while both of us are in our cars driving from here to there. Most others it is emails about once a week and phone calls once a month. Link to post Share on other sites
shadowplay Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 By close I mean dear friends, who are not related to you and whom you do not work with or share significant hobbies with, but have known for a long time. By contact I mean email, IM, or phone. Am particularly interested in how often you communicate with long distance friends. Since I don't have many friends where I now live, almost every day, usually through IM -- sometimes phone. We also forward each other funny links through email. Link to post Share on other sites
imani Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 My best friend lives in another state and we talk maybe two or three times a week on the phone. Link to post Share on other sites
