my "best friend"

[Camazot]

alex and i became friends in 7th grade he was awesome and we did everything in school together. we didnt hang outside of school that often but that was fine i was just glad to have a really good friend
then the end of eighth grade came...he told me he wasnt going to go to the same highschool as me said he was going to SOUTHWEST i was going to WEST i was so upset but i didnt show it...
we had promised eachother to hang outside of school more so we could still be friends... 8-9 grade summer i saw him once...9th grade it was great but i missed alex and we werent in the same sports because my mom was making me play tennis instead of track i saw him a couple times throughout the year'.., 9-10 grade summer we hung out once in awhile still rarely...this year 10th grade
we hung out quite a bit and texted a lot i thought our friendship was coming back together...but then he just stopped talking to me and i dont know why i try to text him but he doesnt respond...i guess i should tell u i've had a crush on him since 8th grade but he doesnt know im bi or that i have a crush on him...we always would fool around grabbing eachothers chests and rubbing legs just jokingly
anyways he just stopped talking to me and i dont know wat to do any advice ..oh and i just want him to be my friend...i dont think he likes guys at all and thats fine

advice please

well.. considering your signature.... i think that this is kinda.. ya know.. bias. so, how long has he not been responding.

[Camazot]

oh my signature..haha.. i wrote my sig like that because i pretty much "forgot" about alex but then last night i met this guy jordan and he reminded me so much of alex...they have the same smile so all the feelings came back and i couldnt get alex out of my head so i kept repeating I HATE ALEX JOSEPH HEALY and i ended up writing that as my sig

he's been ignoring me for 3 weeks and he's never done that he would always text me back

[Jupiter]

well.. you really have -no- idea?

[Camazot]

well right before he stopped talking to me my friend(jon) was messing with him. he might of thought it was me because my friend(Jon) was using another friends (rose) fone and wen jon left. alex asked rose who is this and rose said its rose...well i was texting him too from my fone just seeing wat was up and i told him i was with a girl named rose clark so i guess he assumed i was the one that was messing with. :(

[Jupiter]

why did you say you were a girl?

[Camazot]

i didnt rose was with me and jon and jon was using roses fone messing with alex. jon left. alex asked who is this. rose said "it was rose but her friend was using her fone" from her fone. i was texting alex from my fone and said "i was hanging with my friend rose"
i think alex thought i was the one who was messing with him but it was really jon. i cant tell alex that because i was laughing about it and letting it happen

i'm so confused. can you please elaborate a little more...

[LittleMiss]

I think naturally people drift apart over time, especially when you move away to different schools, etc- even close friendships sometimes alter. I had a close friend in middle school but we went seperate ways in upper school.. We contacted maybe once or twice a year and its now been two years since ive last talked to her- but we were so close-knit in middle school.

The only thing I can suggest really- is if you want to consider trying to talk to Alex, etc is to just confront him about the situation. Ask; "Have I done something to upset you? Are you angry with me?" or something to that extent. You can endlessly elaborate and wonder about scenarios and sometimes it will be an over-reaction. Sometimes people are just busy, or there are family or other problems to deal with.

Anyway, best of luck with the friendship hun.

nevermind eric thank you little miss i appreciate it and yeh ive been think about calling him but not now too soon maybe in a month

[Hajara22]

just sounds like your drifting apart. try to liven up your friendship. hang out more maybe call instead of text. tell him that you dont want to lose him as a friend

[Spreadingwings]

I'd say call him in a few days

[KarkatLuv]

you know your friendship is drifting apart, and that always happens, so try to get him back as a friend. But if you can't get him back as a friend and you know it will never be fixed, tell him how you really feel about him, i don't know why but in my life i seem to like to make bad situations worse, but you never know if it will work till you try. I have a guy friend that I like that i know would never work so I have never been able to do anything like that, but whats the harm in trying as long as you know he wont spread that you like him.

I wish you the best!
