people move away.

for me, it takes a long time and a lot of interactions with a particular person before i call them a close friend. it is harder to get to know people on-line because one does not have the advantage of non-verbal, 'right brain' communications.

i don't think that i can comment on your situation, even indirectly, because i think that a lot of relevant interactions happened before i was active on this site. sometimes people put on a shiny new 'coat' of one type of friendly persona, but beneath it their not pretty true self lurks. then, when situations change, their true self comes out and stings you.

i'm sorry that you were so hurt by this person. please don't assume that everyone else on this site is hurtful and not ever to be trusted. despite being a fan of Charlie Daniels, you have a lot of good qualities and are an asset to this site.

Stan,

In addition to what the others have said, I think that people often have unrealistic expectations of what friendship really is or could be, especially when people are just starting to get to know each other. Sometimes people pull back because they have too much on their own plates at the time to get any more involved. When that happens, it isn't a statement about anything else except expecting too much too soon. I have no idea what happened between you and another member or if anything any of us is saying here relates in anyway. I just wanted to leave some sort of a comment.
