[quote=LoneSilverWolf] I saw a quote online somewhere,. When you care about someone you make time for them, not excuses. Even if you can only pop in to say 'hi, how are you' it matters to the person, friendship or otherwise. [/quote] That sounds really pretentious [quote=ImANargleHunter] I'm not sure how that's relevant at all. I am never in a situation where I can verbally communicate with someone for seven hours. I think my longest phone conversation was two hours with a friend, in the middle of the night, and that was extremely unusual for me. [/quote] Just keep them on call when you do other things.
