20/F I have a friend that I met at a place we both used to work. Now that we don't work there anymore, we never see each other because we live like 3 towns over. When we do see each other, it's always a let down. I never have as much fun as I anticipate I will. We're just so different. He's extremely social and likes to hang out as a group, but I like to hang out with people exclusively. The sad thing is, even when it's just him and I, which I usually prefer in a friendship, I'm so bored...I feel like I'm getting nothing out of our friendship, he's a really nice person, but I feel like I'm wasting time and effort. Should I just avoid his phone calls? Just because he's nice doesn't mean I'm obligated to be his friend...Am I right? Opinions, please?
Girl, I know exactly how you feel. I've had plenty of friends like this. You are not obligated to be anyones friend. Here's my advice to you, find out some things he may like, see if maybe you do have something in common. Talk on the phone with him a couple of times, express your likes and dislikes. find some common ground. when you hang out, find something you both like to do. Don't just go for lunch or anything simple. Maybe you like the same movies, or the same sports. There's always something. If there really isn't anything, then maybe you just aren't meant to be friends, and there is nothing wrong with that. Don't feel bad, it happens to almost everyone. Hope i Helped :-)
