[Belial]

So I have this friend, I use the term lightly.
He only says hello to me once in a while, like once a year or longer. We've only spoken online but should I be thinking it strange that we lose touch and don't talk for a long time, then he contacts me out of the blue again just to say hello. He contacted me again a few days ago, we spoke about video games. I asked him a question and now he's too busy to reply to something that would take not even a minute to answer.

This isn't something I am angry about, just very puzzled.

Shouldn't "friends" speak a little more than this?

But we only speak online, can you be just an acquaintance online? only saying hello literally once a year?
