Friend from a far

yep. i think u just got frustrated because you expected that she would be as excited as you are. maybe she's just busy doing work or other stuff. try to inviting for a shopping... i know u will share the same excitement. LOL

hmm... oh yeah, i have one... the very same situation as that... i was so happy to see her online and when i actually send her a pm, she went like, "hey" and that's it... i thought maybe she was pretty busy since she's taking up medicine... but when summer came it happened again, she was OL as I was. We had a little conversation. The conversation didn't really seem nice though. I felt like I was being underestimated and belittled (since I was a slacker when i was in HS) she brought it all up and said, "would you believe someone told me you did good in college, it that true?" haha... sometimes, maybe , distance shakes off the bond between you and your dear friend... i don't know...

yea,people just move on sometimes,sad though it is. sometimes they don't even say goodbye when they leave.

I have a lot of online buddies, but they are only until 'buddies', I never create a way to be romantically inclined with these people. I know I'd only be looking for trouble if I do that. It's because of an experience a few years back when I literally fell in love with the person on the other end of the world. I thought the feeling was true, but he didn't reciprocate but instead took advantage of my obvious feelings. Anyhow, I'm over that stage right now, and I have learned that if you try to bridge the gap of emotions to someone online, it's a dangerous thing to give your heart to someone who you're not sure wants to keep your heart safe. Obviously, your 'friend' was only pretending to like you or to reciprocate the friendship, but now you see her true color. One tip though, the best way to really know a person is by being with the person physically. It's only in meeting can you see the 'real' intention of a person - as compared to the online thing. Plus, don't run after someone who's isn't willing to stop running for you. Good luck!

I had a best friend. And She moved to New Mexico. Ive found her on myspace and facebook. I asked her if she had a YAHOO messenger or a phone number if we could chat but she never responded. Shes married now. So I guess she is just at a different time in her life. O well. Time too move on.

I had many situations like this, recently I happened to meet an old friend in a social network, I started chatting, he just said I do not remember you!!!. It was just surprise, but still I did not give up, I gave an intro and started explaining myself, it is a very sad situation where you will ask him/her about their life and they are not interested means you will be discouraged...and also sometimes the people will start slowly like asking how are u?whats up? howz life?, once came to know about each other, then we will come back to normal even to plan a get together...its all happens in life..

It never happened to me. But i did send a friend invite to a person whom i thought was a friend, it turned out that my request was ignored. I never expected that but it taught me a lesson not to invite just about anybody. I make sure that i really know that person before sending a friend invite. But i never refuse any one who wants to be my friend on FB.

yes, i do have something like that. i just know by the way she reply to my messages in facebook chat. not like before, we used to talked hours and not get bored. like for instance, i send 5 messages to her and she replied only one message the following day telling me that she could not log to facebook chat not on chat box but in offline message. well i still consider her as one of my closest friend.

Yes, I just found three friends; two from Maryland and one in California. I found them on LinkedIn, a professional network. I hadn't talked to them in 6 years. But unlike your situation, we had a lot to catch up on.

That happens. I do not know whats the reason and I just imagine that maybe they are just busy with their own life. I have nothing against to those who tends to forgot their closest friend because they are far away or may I say in other country. I am still hoping that my friend will remember and will communicate back so that we can be friends again. God bless

It may really feel that bad when the friend that you missed for such a long time doesn't feel the same way like you do, but it may also be due to a long separation; and communication was not kept,that's why the friend will somehow be like a stranger again. So many things have happened along the way and it seems that you both outgrew the things that you had shared before. So in this case,what matters is you still remain the friend that you have been to him/her irregardless of the circumstances. That will be the true test of time and distance, Isn't it?

yup. It happens most of the times. That too if its a far off friend, there is more possibility of such a thing happening. It just depends on how much time we dedicate to each other. Its not like you contact that person for a whole week continuously and then contact them after 2 months. long distance friendships are very delicate (majority of them). The more time you spend chatting with each other and at regular intervals by keeping some continuity, the better it is to sustain and keep the friendship going healthy. But once u develop space between yourself, its very difficult to get things back on track.
