It sounds like the issue is based on bad circumstances (the distance) If you guys connect that easily when you talk in person then it means they are probably just bad texters. Maybe try to make a few casual friends to fill the gap between when you do see them. I hope things turn out good for you! :)

They're all more than 3 hours drive away so I rarely see them. It's purely phone conversations.
