Mike, I'm really sorry your friend is moving away. I know exactly what you're going through right now, as I've gone through the same thing. I'm also not offended by you being more hurt. I understand what you mean about the whole real friends and net friends being different. Not to say that net friends aren't real, but when you've actually hung out with someone and spent time with them on a personal basis it's going to be different. But remember just because he's moving away doesn't mean that's the end of your friendship. It'll only be the end of your friendship if you allow it to be. Sure things will be different, you won't get to see him. But if you keep in contact and still talk, you can still tell him the things you don't feel secure telling other people. It'll require a little extra work, but it'll be worth it in the end if his friendship really means that much to you.

About the whole moving away thing, Michelle is right. When I didn't have the net for months when I first moved to Jordan, I didn't lose contact with Michelle. I called her whenever I had the chance (and the money! LOL!) and I sent her several cards and stuff, she was scared that we would lose contact and that our friendship would just phase out, but it didn't and it's because we didn't allow it to.

If you really trust this friend SO much then you can tell him the things you don't feel secure telling other people about, but you have to keep in mind that he's gonna be moving and he's gonna meet new people and maybe for him to find out stuff like that about you is not necessary. So my advice: don't go into subjects like that once he's gone and try to just move on yourself. I'm talking thanks to experience, but I hope your friend turns out to be better than any of my friends.

Somehow, someway, you'll get through this and move on like the rest of us. I'm sorry! *hug*
