I pretty much only had a handful of friends before I moved 2000+ miles away, but honestly, the one and only one that I still talk to was the only one that was really my friend. The rest were more close acquaintances, past roommates, etc. Some are still on the 'real' friend list, but have lives that kept us from hanging out, even when there wasn't distance. Business, etc. After moving my wife and I have picked up some couple 'friends,' but they are more playdate type (kids near same age), and party type acquaintances. I don't meet up with either of them individually (and they are socialites, so are always doing stuff with groups of people, I don't know that they have any friends that they just hang out together with, other than in a group). My closest friend still hangs out with us once a year. We chat and email weekly if not daily, and we both fly to each other's cities to visit, or we meet somewhere and hang out, vacation-like.
