I have a few people that I email back and forth to all the time but rarely see. Our emails are great and so interesting. We can say anything to each other via email but when we do see each other in person we are shy and ill at ease. I wonder sometimes if there is really any chemistry or friendship with this person when we visit face to face. Our in person communication seems to lack chemistry. Maybe we are ill at ease about how open we were to each other in emails. But then we go back to our daily emailing and the magic is back. Can you relate?
I am 31. That silly question about age is always used as a argument if someone does not like a question or comment on a message board. They will try to say that the person must be very young and immature to ask such a question. How absurd! The mature thing to do is if you do not like my question move on to another posting!

I have several "friends" like this. It has its place.

No, it's used when the questions are so incredibly immature that you wonder how the poster managed to get access to the internet.
Should the two of us stop emailing because we do not have the natural chemistry when we see each other in person that we have in our emails?
You ask too many tough questions!
Notice, I said tough questions, not dumb questions. Why analyze this to death? Either you are friends who want to keep a friendship going or you are not interested in keeping this friendship going. How can any of us advise you what to do?
To answer your post, I text my oldest son because sometimes he isn't where he can chat on a phone and texting makes it possible to answer when he has the time. The rest of my friends I email. I'm eager to visit in person with all of the friends I email, and when I see them nothing changes. I greet them with a hug if they are female, and with a handshake if they are male. I always let them know I'm happy to see them. Most of us have things in common, but sometimes the only thing we have in common is that we like each other.

Yes, it is getting to be where I seldom do telephone. We mostly email and text especially the out of area friends and the local we only call to confirm meeting places.
