How do you deal with long distance friends, after you've moved?

keep doing what you are doing

send cards in mail gifts

that kinda thing

birthday gifts and go back to visit if you can that always helps

I have a lot of friends that are far away as well so I understand this. One of my best friends lives in TX and I live in NY and in march I'll see her for the first time in about two years.. We had falling outs b/c of the distance but everytime we talk via phone or email we forget about it and it feels like we are best friends again! I would say just try your best to keep in contact with them or make an effort to see them again. I know it's not always simple because of money for traveling and etc.

I agree with the others, make sure you don't forget any of their birthdays or any other type of special occasions.

I randomly will send my friends little funny gifts (a couple times a year) that remind me of them or past memories we have.

Even calling them randomly to ask them how their day went. Being there for them when times get tough.

Try to make a time within a couple years, as i know times get get busy, to make plans together. Even to plan a weekend vacation somewhere would be a blast

Just stay in contact as much as you can- text messaging, phone calls, whatever it takes. You need to visit them whenever you can and always make sure they know they are welcome in your home. Also, always remember to share things with them like you would normally do if you still lived right around the corner. Just because there is distance between you doesn't mean its all over.

I have always found that a friend in need is a friend indeed,otherwise friendship wanes with time

From experience I find they just fase with time as you move on with your life, and they with theirs.
