I have a friend to whom we email eachother every so often. We were friends when we were little, but he movied away when we were 6 or 7. We stayed in touch (writing letters) and now we email so its been many many years that weve been corresponding. I was wondering if that's rare for guys? He writes a good amount (we both do). Do you think since weve been able to stay in touch this long our friendship can still be strong in years to come? He's starting college next year and this is my first year in college. I'm afraid he may grow apart since were getting older and he's a guy.

Unlike intamate relationships, friendships can last a long time, even over long distances. My wife, Vivian, and I have both retained long distance friendships that are decades old. Since we now have the "Voice" option and cameras on our computers, we have been able to improve our ability to stay in touch. It seems that friendly relations (without the stress and anxiety connected with physical relationships) can not only be manitained, but, often thrive for life. Your friendship will consist of what you put into it. Just like every other relationship. Such friendships are often a refuge and safe haven, which allows us to share our feelings, without the fear of rejection and unwnated attachments.
Good luck and God Bless!

For a friend to keep in touch like this is more difficult than actually seeing each other from time to time. It is easy not to respond to emails - that is why I think you should def value this relationship and try to maintain it. It is actually quite fun to then meet up one day and see how much the other person has changed in all this time. I have moved countries various times and I can tell you that out of many, only very few friends remain. But I can call these people real friends, not acquaintances. After all this time they are still there for me. That you are a boy (man) does not matter at all, why should it? Keep it going!
