chat 3-4 hours). i used to have two: one competely stop talking to me after i got married, which might be good, because we were a bit of confused about our relationship for a while. the other we manage to be real buddies for decades, maybe just because we are always far apart, and i am quite sure about my feeling for him. even though, my LG got very annoyed when i used to chat with my friend for hours on the phone. once my friend told me for a while he tried to move to my city so that he could ask me to be his gf. i just joked about it, but that 's pretty sure to be the end of our close relationship. now, we only email occasionally, and have a drink together when we pass by each other's city by chance. what i want to say is that it is difficult and tricky for this type of relationship. both sides have to clear about their feelings for the other, and you don't want to send mix or wrong signal. if anyone steps outside the line, the friendship is going to be completely ruined, so you might not want the other person to be your boss, esp. you are not sure what your feeling is. you want to have a boss to be able to work with, not a person you hardly can face him.
