I have known this girl, Melanie, for almost my whole life. We have been best friends since we were three. A few years ago, I moved and I had to switch schools because of it. So, we didn't talk to each other for four years! I do not have any classes with her this year, but her locker is only about two lockers away from mine. We also live in the same neighborhood, we ride the same bus, and we have each other's phone number. Every now and then, we sit together on the bus and talk for a minute or so, but that's about it. I honestly think she is the kindest person I know, even though her father died when she was four years old. Is there a way that I can become best friends with her again or even just friends?
The next time you're sitting next to her on the bus, engage in more conversation than you usually do, about classes, whatever. And just be like," You know, it's been so long since we've really gotten to hang out and talk and I miss that. Do you think you'd wanna hang out sometime this weekend and catch up?" And just go somewhere the mall, the movies, somewhere where you guys can be comfortable and having fun and also able to talk.
I think the mall might be best cause you guys can check out clothes, and show eachother what you like on eachother and plus, shopping puts a girl in a chatty comfortable mood so it might not be as awkward.
And just takl to her and find out what's been up with her the past 4 years, any boyfriends anything going on at all? And just find out what her current interests are and everything so you guys can find some commmon ground and start anew and then maybe the next hang out place can be her choice, or somewhere where she likes to go! Also, maybe even bring up some old memories you guys had together, share some laughs and make her realize again why it was you guys were friends in the first place, and why you guys should become friends again.
And then hopefully after the hangout, just suggest to her you'll talk to her tommorrow and you hope you guys can hang out again really soon, and I'm sure that'll make her happy you're making such an effort to become her friend again, and then maybe she'll start to do so.
