Americans like to be independent, but still social. Americans just want to figure out if they like someone or not. They are too busy to become extremely close to everyone. In Europe, people are definitely more relaxed than Americans. Europeans will, frequently, go and sit in a café and drink coffee with friends; a rarity in the American culture.
Technology create both distance and closeness. A phone could allow one to talk to a friend in another state whenever they want, bringing them closer. However, phones also create distance. Someone may not hang out with a friend often because they can simply text, or call, them instead.
