One of my friends and I used to text each other heaps, like several times each day, even though we went to school together. She'd mainly be the one to text me first, and sometimes it would be at weird hours like 2am, on any day. We'd just talk about anything really, mostly just random stuff, but sometimes personal and "deep" things.
She's now left my school, though, and throughout the school holidays we only saw each other twice, and had to talk via Facebook or iMessage, since she lost her phone and had to use an iPod I lent her. We didn't even really talk though, at all. She's a very popular and well known girl with heaps of friends all over, so I'm not surprised we don't talk a lot, but even still we used to text each other a lot more.
A week ago she came over to my house because she needed my help to set up her new iPhone, and we managed to get it working. I texted her a bit later to ask something, and we exchanged a few messages. The next morning she texted me at 7am, but I tend to sleep in a lot, so I didn't see the text until 11am. I asked her what was up and we just told each other about what we were gonna do that day, since she was going to the beach and I had to work.
School started back up for me yesterday, and one of my other friends told me that my other friend (the one I'm talking about) was moving to another state permanently, and I was shocked because she hadn't told me herself. I texted her when I finished school if it was true, and she said it was, but she isn't anymore since she is doing a different kind of school course still in our state instead. I told her I was glad and would have missed her if she left, and she said "aww thank you."
That was the last we spoke/texted, and that was yesterday. Sorry for that little detour of the main point, but what I meant to say was that I'm not sure what the normal amount to text your friends are. She is pretty much the only person I text, since I just talk to my other friends at school. I know she is very popular and always does stuff, like parties, but I'm worried we are kind of drifting apart. Since she doesn't go to my school anymore, it makes it harder for us to see each other, and I'm beginning to worry we'll slowly stop being friends since we rarely text anymore, only when I start it, and even then they are short conversations. She used to text me heaps and very often, and most times it would be her texting me first. I'm worried that if I text her it will just annoy her, even though I know we're still friends, since we saw each other a week ago for a few hours and she came back to my house and acted fine around me.
So basically I'm not sure if I should still stay as her friend and text her and see if she still wants to catch up, or if I should just not try anymore, and we'll eventually stop being friends. I'm mainly worried that we aren't texting each other as much as we used to. What is the "normal" amount/how often do you text your friends?
