My interactions with this guy gave me the feeling of being pursued without the reality of pursuit.

In the linked article, Rachel Cohen addresses the issue of virtual relationships and the need for real, face-to-face relationship. While she speaks to youth, specifically, I share her concern for the Church at all ages. The proliferation of social media gives us the appearance of relationship with out real relationship. However, God clearly designed us for interpersonal relationships. In fact, authentic discipleship, in my view, cannot be done over the internet. It requires investment in face-t0-face, life-on-life relationships.
