former friend advice


Question Posted Friday May 19 2006, 9:04 pm

About 3 years ago a girl that I thought was a close friend of mine did something quite mean to me. She uninvited me to her sons first birthday party and told me over a nasty email. She claimed that the last time I was over at her appartment I laughed and thought my behavior was "extremely rude". She also told me she didnt' want to be my friend anymore. I was really upset and sent an emailing apologizing (although I wasnt sure what for). She never responded. I was really hurt at first because I had been a good friend to her.
Well that was 3 years ago and I've moved on and have new friends and a new job now.
Yesterday when I was at work in the shoe aisle at the superstore I work in she was walking down the aisle with her son in a cart. I ignored her because I thought she still hated me. I thought she'd ignore me to but she actually said hi to me. I said hi back and she introduced me to her son. Then she asked if I liked my job. I said yes and then she said she'd see me around. But the thing is I don't think she was sincere because she had a scowl on her face when she first started talking to me.
Does anyone have any idea as to what her intentions are? I don't trust her after what she did and am scared to be her friend again. Why would she start being nice to me again after being so mean 3 years ago? If anyone had any advice I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

I think that she was being respectful by greeting you in public and that she has no intention of inviting you over or being friends again.

Besides, if she ever does try to get things back the way they were, you should definetly talk about what happened in the past so that you can really discover what she found offensive. I would say that it's easier to move on, but you wrote this women a letter apologizing even though you didn't really have an idea of what you did which was mature and she didn't even write back explaining specificly what bothered her the last time you were with her.

Well maybe she was just being nice. Like she doesnt want to live with never talking to you ever again, but she doesnt want to be in a fight with you if you know what i mean. Maybe you shoud talk to her again just to straighten it all out and then whatever happens, happens.

If she didn't say lets get together Monday for lunch or if she didn't ask for your phone number or give you hers, chances are she was just being polite.

I doubt she has any intentions of contacting you or trying to be friends again. It was nice of her not to totally ignore you but I don't think she'll be calling or anything.
