I don't understand this at all. What's wrong in not knowing physically.
I guess if you really care for someone you'll be great in the obvious department.
All it should matter is the proximity and that someone-there-is to talk-to
feeling. In otherwords, how'd you get along and not too different in interest
and more than anything respect and give-in as much as you can. If people would
really forget if they have been physical or not.

If these sounds too outdated, call me the last-living-dinasaur. ;)
