Alright. So im new to this forum, and i have a much more complex situation but i dont have the time to put it in this forum right now. This one is simpler than the other, but they are connected.

So me and friend x have been friends for at least 7years now. Our families have been close knit since their high school days, but i was extremely shy as a child so i never talked to him at the birthday parties and events.

We were great friends for 3 or so years, then slowly we faded away. Now. Whenever we hang out, it seems as though everything is prefect, were enjoying each other's company, laughing, making jokes etc. Friend x and i have even been to florida together before. When we hang out he says hell help me buy my first car and that this summer well be going to florida. But whenever i text him, he either doesnt answer or keeps the convo very short most of the time. Im not annoying him either, i only text him once in a while sincd i know hes very busy. But if i dont text him, he basically never reaches out to me. Now, he talks to my other best friends (were all one group) a lot more than he does to me, but whenever we hang out everything seems perfect.

I just don't know how to interpret him anymore.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Nick.

For me, I find it weird texting guys. I can't. I could hang out with another dude or talk on the comments of a Facebook/Instagram post or in the forums. For me, I find it weird to text a guy just one on one. So maybe he feels that same way.

True. Never saw it that way. Still though hes always texting other people but never seems to care much when i text him

Ah, texting. It gets confusing and kinda annoying when people don't text you back, but you and your friend are close and have known each other for a long time. I think there must be an underlying reason for his not paying much attention to your texts, although when talking doesn't happen face to face and in person; things do get tricky. I'm sorry I don't really know how to help because I don't know what kinda personality your friend has. Maybe your friend just doesn't like texting you and likes spending time with you in person instead? Maybe that could be something you could ask him, in person of course haha. Ask him the next time you guys hang out, I'm pretty sure he'd be okay to talk about it with you if it's something that makes you uncomfortable in the friendship. If he just shrugs it off, maybe you could suggest calling each other since texting hasn't really been working? Hope you can work this out with him~~~
