    A friend moved a to another state a long way away. We have e-mailed each week or so. However, it has been two weeks since she last replied to my e-mail.
    She came back to town for Thanksgiving, but she said her time would be taken up entirely with her parents, kids, extended family etc. to spend time with friends. She said she would have more time, nearly a week, at Christmas when she comes.
    I e-mailed her twice (birthday e-cards) before Thanksgiving and once on Sunday night. But no reply.
    Should I confront her on whether she even likes me anymore, or has ever liked me.
    Or should I be "patient." :nopity:

    most likely scenario would be an incorrect email address. happens all the time.

    It doesn't sound like she likes you all that much. I would just blay low and send her another piece of mail in about a week. I'd just say 'hit me up if you feel like hanging out while your back for Xmas'. If she didn't hit me up during xmas I'd never talk to her again.

    It's rare that guys and girls are friends. 1 of them always wants the other. In the case your the one doing the wanting. If you want a friend...get a guy friend. If you want a gfriend...you need to look elsewhere. Sorry, but that's my take on it.

    well if your truly 41,, you should know,with kids and a family this is a hellu busy time..

    have you ever even considered that perhaps while you may be dear to her that time constraints put you down on the priority list for her?

    i say act like a adult and be patient...

    I agree with this, actually. I mean, I have a family to take care of and my own issues. My guy friend used to call me two or three times a day, and sometimes, I just didn't have time to talk or even bother with answering. (I screen calls anyway, and ALWAYS talked to him at least once a day.) I loved him to pieces. He meant the world to me, but sometimes there are more pressing things at hand.

    Why don't you offer to get together at Christmas, if she has no time, just brush it off. If you wait until after the holidays, maybe things will change a bit. If not, then you know she doesn't have as much interest as you thought.

    things do happen as all have said above. I have alot to do in my life, work, 6 boys. But one of my boys is in Ghana, an adopted son at the age of 20. ThankGod for the internet, that is how we keep in touch. it is hard when you have someone you love so far away.and child support. But to know that you are her friend. friendship means alot. Just say "Hi, hoping the best for you,,,you know where I am." If they answer back, fine, if they don`t well, there are alot more people in the world.

    Sometimes you have to care about people from afar,,,(kentucky) at a distance. But you don`t have to "write them off" either. People come and go out of each others lives. We are here to care about one another, at the time that we can. That is why time is precious. Live every moment to the best. Love to the fullest. and remember there is a whole world of people. Thankgod.
