I know the usual phase is star crossed lovers, but I want to talk about relationships. Have you ever met someone and felt and instant attraction to them as a friend. You just know that this person could be your very best friend. But no matter how hard you try the timing just isn't right. You set up lunch dates or fun things to do and something always goes wrong, try to talk on the phone or e-mail and it never works out, time is just to short. How long does this go on before you just write it off and figure you must have known each other in another life or maybe it will work out later in this one?

This is similar to something that happened with a girl that I know. She and I get along very well, but when it comes to our friendship, she is never the one that wants to go any kind of distance. She recently moved to the next county over from where we live and she will not come back into our town to get together. She always insists that I would come to her house. I won't do this because I can't travel all of the time (gas is just too expensive). With that said, I think that our friendship is over because she won't put anything into it.

hi friend, yes I know what you mean, I had experienced that " star crossed " feeling, but when I experience some obstacles, I don't really push that hard and just take it easy and wait, guess that something or someone written in the stars for us would just naturally fall in place in our life, career, relationship etc... just like a missing part of a jigsaw puzzle.

Are you both too busy? If that is the case, maybe it is better to just keep in touch until you have more time for each other. You can invest some time into the relationship still - send emails, notes, etc. Do what you can to show that you want things to work out.
In the end, it is your effort that counts. If things don't work out, it is because one of you or both of you just don't care enough.
