A Big Squeeze
Part of the problem I have with long distance dating is that in those hours of need – the ones that really matter – you can’t be close with the one that means the most. Sometimes all you really needs is a hug or a shoulder to cry on. Knowing that all you need is something so small can make the distance even worse to deal with. I know there are lots of ways that people can make the connection without being there in person.
There’s email, instant messaging, audio and video chat and the old-fashioned phone but they are all sad replacements for the real thing. I wonder if there will ever come a time when virtual reality will pick up the slack. If it does come, it’s an awful long way off. In the meantime, stay close to those you care about. You just never know when someone will need a big squeeze.
