Me & my guy friend had a fight like 2 weeks ago, then last week I called him to apologize (it was nothing big i swear...just stupid) and i don't think he was happy to hear from me. He went to out of town for a few days and just got back today and now he's leaving again tomorrow for a week and a 1/2. I havent talked to him since I've called him. He told my friend that he's not mad but he just doesn't wanna talk to me bc he's afraid then I might start to like him. I sent him a text asking him if he was still mad and he never texted me back. I need to know if I should try calling him again TONIGHT before he leaves again bc I really miss him sooo much and I don't want our friendship to be over because of this bc we've been friends for 6 yrs & have been thru soooo frikin much together! HELP PLEASE!!! WHAT SHOULD I DO???? And if I call him, what should I say to get him to listen to me? Thanks!

and if you still want to be friend, leave him a message saying that you dont want to end the friendship but if his going to keep avoiding you and stuff, then there is no choice.
Courtney answered Thursday June 23 2005, 7:33 pm: Well, hun, have you ever just considered the fact that he just may need space on his on terms and time. I know that with any friendship that may just come very hard for the person who's supposed to be providing that space ,but you really have and need to respect that because it could very later on show him how much you care for the friendship and him... and it may show something to yourself later on that may well suprise you.I would not suggest you calling him over the phone because he could make up all sorts of reasons to avoid you. Oh and have you thought that maybe the "nothing big" fight may have been something big to him. Yeah, I know, some things aren't as they appear right. Well, if you can talk to him face to face. Maybe run or drive(have someone else drive you to his home before he takes his leave) to his house for a brief comment. In this comment, focus upon the fact that you are sorry about the fight and that you will be provide all the space and support he needs ,and that it was a bit reckless by not noticing that the fight was a big deal because if it's a big deal to him it's a big deal to you. Tell him that you respect all the time he needs to become comfortable with your friendship again and that you're there for him. Then let it be that. But you may, or at least you should be prepared for the fact that this friendship maybe just wasn't meant to be . I know , that's wrong right. But you only can try so hard . Just be there for him in whatever and try to support his decision whatever it may be. I have this feeling that you will benefit in some way or form . I don't know why, but I think... no I know... that you two will be alright. It'll take time...but somehow I just know it. Hope I was some help and lovely day.

shake answered Thursday June 23 2005, 7:16 pm: Don't call him. Make him call you.
If he doesn't call stalk him. Then when he's just out and about and standing still not doing anything; sneak up behind him and stick his finger in your mouth and walk away.
HeLpFuLhUnNiE916 answered Thursday June 23 2005, 6:43 pm: You should definitely call him tonight! Tell him first not to hang up though. Then explain to him how you really feel about him, like you've missed him so much and you want to be friends again, and you don't want that stupid fight to wreck you 6 year friendship! I hope I helped and good luck! =)
esoccer1717 answered Thursday June 23 2005, 6:33 pm: i say call. Leave a message if he dosen't pick up. ask whats with the cold sholder and you want to be his friend. Personally I would give this guy the finger than the cold sholder but if you like him and you think he is worth it, Go call him. [ esoccer1717's advice column | Ask esoccer1717 A Question ]
SQuiRToFLeMoN answered Thursday June 23 2005, 6:11 pm: I think you should try to call him. If he picks up then you can talk to him. If he doesn't pick up than you should leave him a message explaining what is going on. You don't want to lose him but if you don't confront him nothing will change and you might (not definitely) lose him forever. Make sure you explain you are only looking to be his friend and nothing more. GOOD LUCK and I hope I help. [ SQuiRToFLeMoN's advice column | Ask SQuiRToFLeMoN A Question ]
mushoku answered Thursday June 23 2005, 6:05 pm: Whaaaat? He's not talking to you because he's afraid you'll end up liking him? Pardon me, but that's weird.
If that's his reason, I really can't say. It sounds like it really depends on what the argument was about (like it has something to do with him thinking you're going to end up liking him).
Anyway, call him, and just tell him you're sorry, and that you don't want to lose your friendship. If you do like him (and he knows, or he figures), say that you value your friendship more (if that's true). If he won't talk to you, at least just tell him he's free to get in touch with you if/when he decides he wants to talk to you again. [ mushoku's advice column | Ask mushoku A Question ]
