What I meant was that if the circumstances were taken away in such a scenario, the relationship would most likely not last. For instance, I had a lot of friends in college with whom I spent a lot of time, but that time was spent because we just happened to be in the same place. Once we parted ways, we never really kept in touch much. It was only with the close friends with whom I had developed friendships based on much more that I was able to maintain a relationship and "pick up where we left off" when we saw each other after graduation.
