I have this friend. She has been my friend all of my life literally but lately we've been drawing apart. :( what do i do to get this relationship back togeter?

Spend more time with her!
It'd be great to start a new hobby with her - besides the new thing youøre doing, you'll also meet new people to talk with your friend about.

OK, One of my friends that I go out clubbing with is starting to annoy me. He is brilliant in every way, but everytime we go into the city, we take a taxi there and back and he always finds sneaky ways of getting out of paying for them.

For example, he'll say he'll just buy me a drink (and never does) or say he'll pay for it later, or just doesnt get out money to pay. Its starting to annoy me and it angers me.

We're going out again on Saturday but I need a way to make him realise that he has to pay and I'm not willing to, without seeming too petty.

Please give me advice!!

Jeez, that would annoy me too. Taxis are expencive, dammit!

Try mentioning it to him before Saturday. Say "it's your turn to pay for the cap, alright?" or "remember to bring money for the taxi" or something along those lines.

If he tries saying he'll just buy you a drink agian, tell him that you will actually hold him to his promise this time. And do so.

If he tries to make you feel like you're being petty, remember that you're NOT. He's the one who's being cheap. Tell him it's not fair for him to use your money or for him to guilt-trip you into paying for him. You've been a good friend so far, he hasn't (reguarding this topic, I'm sure he's nice in other aspects). Do stand up for yourself.
