Question Posted Thursday December 30 2004, 3:08 pm
Im 15 and have been best friends with a girl in my school, we wnt on holiday together, played netball together, got drunk together for about 3 yrs. Now she starts hangin round with this girl i kinda like but not particularly, somedays she cool and hangs wit me but otha days she goes off with this other girl and just leaves me. I told her i thought she was being unreasonable and things worked out for a while. Now though its all starting again and as its school holidays i never hear from my friend cos shes always with this new freind. It was her birthday (my friend) 3 days ago, i txt her and asked if she was doing anythin for it and she sed she was havin a party, not invitin me, just telling me. So i txt her and sed thanx 4 the invite, she sed wel u r invited. Jus 2 anoy her i said well i cant go anyway and she starts goin on about how i would have made all these xcuses anyway bcos her new freind will b there and i cant handle them two being friends, she ended her text with see you around. I have done so much for her in the past and now she just throws it back in my face. Do you think i should just leave her completely and never tlk again or jus try and b freinds with her, even though she likes her new freind better?

You have let her know that you are still there if she needs you as a friend. I think that you have done enough. Let things ride for a while and see what happens. If she wants to continue the friendship she will, if not she will drift away. Either way, you have done enough. Move on. The ball is in her court now. It may hurt but thats all that you can do. Stay strong. You will make many more friends in your life. Best Wishes! [ MakalahLea's advice column | Ask MakalahLea A Question ]

Aw, don't feel bad about anything. You absolutely did nothing wrong. If she thinks she needs her new freind more than you, let her have it that way. She'll come around and text you or call you. Just play along with it. Say "yeah, I've been pretty busy lately", Just still be nice to her. When you see her in the halls when break is over, smile or say hi. Just don't be over friendly. Soon she will realize what a great guy you were and how you were always there for her and how she just threw it away and will want to hang out with you again, and how she made such a stupid mistake...She'll come back for you...I promise :)
Hope I helped and don't sit around and wait for her to call you or text you, you go do your own thing, boy! :)
