Too right there is - It is different but the psycology is the same. You have a more limited arsenal of weapons at your disposal but you can definitely pick up girls for a F close just by starting off online or by phone! Of course you have to at some point travel the 400 miles to get the close
Biggest point to remember and a HUGE mistake people make is that once attraction is built and you move to the shameless flirting, daily or even multiple daily emails/calls etc you then procrastinate and kill of all the excitment. There is now nothing left, no room for esculation and progression apart from actually meeting face to face! So dont make the AFC mistake (Its hard because your so desperate to hear them admit they want you, why they want you and what they will do to you once they get their hands on you). Leave room for growth, its simple - If something is not growing then its dying!
