I didn't say it wasn't real, I said, that in the traditional sense, friends like to meet? you know, be friends? But nice try.

> then friendship is not what you guys have

That sounds a lot like you are claiming their friendship isn't real to me.

Friendship isn't about meeting someone. Friendship is about having trust and a connection. Who is the friendier friend: Someone whom you like and meet every day, but who will ghost you once you move a city over or someone whom you like and with whom you feel at home even after two years of not seeing each other?

I would take the latter over the former every day. My best friends are in that category, wven some who live in the same town
