this caregiver male emails me but he states my mom wants to know how your mom is doing. the holidays, the weather, things of this nature. i said i wanted to remain friends he replied keep in touch. i sent a lovely poem for new years about friendship but it wasn't acknowledged. is this a friendship or what

..hi.. well, I would say that you wait further for his reply.. don't come into conclusion immediately.. maybe he has his own reasons of not acknowledging your poem until now.. Remember, there are always two sides of the coin and you have to know both of the sides.. you just don't know, maybe he is still on vacation or just busy doing important things.. I believe that that is not the only way to measure friendship.. friends will always be in the heart no matter if you are away from each other and no matter how long you won't be able to communicate.. In time, you will be able to reunite and patch up with all those days or months that you were not able to hear from each other.. just keep cool.. and don't be negative..

i know i am negative. i'm glad you put me in perspective. no one likes negative people. i want this friendship but can't make it happen. i am sensitive and insecure and lonely. i wish i didn't allow myself to get like this. i am on disability and i am a caregiver. this is why i react and am acting this way. thank you for responding. i will be here for him and his mom, but it may never come to anything so i have to accept that. thank you again.

update-- i haven't heard from them. oh well that's how it goes i guess. friends will always be there but not these two. it hurts me when i reach out and it dosen't happen and i don't know why

i have had this same thing happen to me. especially since ive gotten older. it makes me wonder if the internet is not keeping us from really being close with people. i never had this problem before i had to start spending most of my time at home and dont know any neighbors cause i dont get out to meet them, etc. so what few friends i have are on here and yet its like we dont communicate every day because theres so much more we do on here. perhaps your emails are going in their spam by accident. have you tried calling and just talking about things. you know nothing personal just listen
