Yeah, it's definitely gotten harder to meet people. What has your experience been with friends who have moved for jobs or other reasons? I'm impressed that you talk to your close friends once a week. Are all these friends in the local area, or do you talk to them online? I think only seeing friends a couple of times a year in real life has led to us not talking much anymore.

My experience with friends who moved away really resulted in us attempting to communicate a lot online. For friends that I had very strong bonds with, we would try to stay in touch any way we could and attempt to visit each other. Friends who were just ok, eventually, we just slowly stopped talking as often. You just have to accept it and move on. Yes, most of my friends are in my area. I communicate with them online/text and we try to set up things to do (even if it's just grabbing some lunch).

  Yeah, I was pretty close friends with the people who moved away, but we've mostly stopped talking. I think the hard part is that it takes time to develop close friendships, especially with a full time job.

    For my group of friends, I was the person who moved away after college. The rest are still together, and some of them are still roommates. I keep in touch occasionally. A few of my friends I try to call (no one ever seems to call me). Mostly we IM on Steam, or sometimes I hop on Ventrilo. They're usually gaming, and while I've tried to buy the same games so we could kind of hang out, they keep different schedules, and anything with a leveling component they get really far ahead because they play all the time. When I head back for whatever reason we generally try to meet up, even if it's just grabbing food.

      Interesting. Some of my friends play games, but I don't anymore. That actually seems to be a big disconnect. Among my friends who play games, it seems like all their close friends play games too.
