Farren answered Thursday December 9 2004, 9:21 am: If it were me I probably wouldn't get in touch with him again. You haven't talked to him in 4 years. I think my logic is that people don't have to be friends or enemies, they can just be neutral. I probably think this because there are some people who I used to be friends with and it's not like I dislike them now, but I've changed and we don't really fit anymore and I don't see why they act like they're obligated to hang out with me and me with them still. I don't know why people can't just leave each other alone.
But I'm getting into a much more complicated little theory of mine, and don't want to get too off-topic, so yeah. Hope I helped.

Courtney answered Thursday December 9 2004, 8:22 am: Yes you all need real closure because you at least want to be mature about this relationship (meaning you only want to be his friend). So talk to him and try your all to tell him that you only want to be friends and that it isn't a way to get back into his life . If he doesn't except it then you'll have to move on .You can't make him be your friend ,and atleast you'll know that you did make an attempt to be his friends . I think you can live with that and I think that you'll do fine . So, I hope I was some help and have a nice day . Good luck . [ Courtney's advice column | Ask Courtney A Question ]

let him have some closure before you try to rekindle the friendship. then when things start to get back to normal, you can initiate the small talk. [ kooman's advice column | Ask kooman A Question ]
