In our life there are many relations who are closed to us but for some reason they have to go far away from us like they change their location which is quite far away from us. My question is
Does this distance make hearts/ relations closer or far away?
It depends on the person who has the distance between u. If its a loved one,then distance makes the heart grow fonder but if its someone you dont really care about,then its outta sight outta mind.

Re: Distance in Relationships
I think distances make the hearts grow fonder.
When I used to live with parents, I didn't used to talk to them as much but now that I've moved to another town, we talk quite often.
Re: Distance in Relationships
ok but what about friends then?
My exposur says something else that when the distance grows, relations start having misunderstandings about each other because to live closer can solve/ clear many problems but when you are far away from someone then you are out of his/her sight, he/she cannot understand your situations and needs from far away. It creates misunderstandings. on the other hand I think it depends on the sort of your relationship and how much you trust that relation.
Re: Distance in Relationships
It depends on what kind of relationship you had with that friend.
My best friend used to live in the same town and we didn't used to call each other, but used to meet each other either at gatherings or at each other's house. Then he moved out of town to another State and now we talk every week for long times and pick up where we left off last time. There are no misunderstandings etc. So it really depends on how strong that relationship was to begin with. It's up to us to control whether we let doubts and misunderstandings come between our friendship or not.
Re: Distance in Relationships
Two of my best friends and my fiance live in different provinces. So, when they call, it's the distance, that makes it even more special. Also, the very fact that even though you are so far away in distance but so close in each other's heart makes you want to cherish that relationship even more. Misunderstandings are not solved based on how close or far a person is, they are solved by how sincerely you communicate your problems/concerns with each other.
Re: Distance in Relationships
Depends on what the relationship is like and with whom…i agree with shikra…distance makes the heart grow fonder. The further away and the less you see them the more you miss em. 
Re: Distance in Relationships
For me it is the opposite. If a person is far away for me, i forget about them.. So in order for me to love and miss someone they have to be close to me.. :)...
Re: Distance in Relationships
i believe that distances( whether it's a diffrent city -or- country) does create a dent in a relationship gradually over time, be it yr family/ parents, friends or relatives and it's something u can't just replace or mend.......... sad but true

Why would you miss someone when he/she is close to you? You miss those that are not close (physically) to you.

ppl move away but the affection stays the same no matter hoe far they go

like i said earlier....i think it really depends on how close you were/are to them to begin with. If you have a secure/close relationship with them then you could nvr forget them.
Re: Distance in Relationships
it is based on the kind of distances one has with the other person.
woh kehtai hain pahaarh(mountains) door sai hi khoobsurat lagtai hain…nazdeek jao to pathar hi hotai hain … when u see sum1 everyday ..hangout/talk with them ..its just normal routine ..u know they are always there ..so theres less appreciation i guess:konfused:..

AE i won't totally disagree with u ..........but the thing is people usually move away / out of the town for good + with time or over years they make new relations like say get married have kids etc , get to know new people who live nearby and hence get too occupied with that ,that they hardly get time to go back and forth and visit old fellows or call them too often ............so even if they try their best ,still possibility is that they could hardly save few close relations/ bondings like say may be parents , sibs or an old friendship or fews relatives but not everyone , plus the people back home also tend to move on with their lives gradually over time.

When i said tat i meant people who are no longer with me or people whom i know tat will no longer be with me :) eg dead people
