If you guys are best friends, maybe you should try and talk to her in person about how you feel your friendship has changed, i wouldn't reccomend saying she thinks she's always the sopt light, don't get mad or anything, just tell her that things have changed and you feel that you're not as good of friends anymore, and sometimes she can be agrivating. I wouldn't bring up anything about the present (even though that was very rude of her and she shouldn't have expected anything) because that would just make her upset. If she's a real friend, she'd understand. [ chester918's advice column | Ask chester918 A Question ]

BFF is a title given to a very dear friend who you hold in the highest regard, and vise versa.
It was very rude for her to expect a gift from you, and even worse for her to make an issue out of it. If she is so inconsiderate of you and your feelings to not only behave that way, but to go on about how she never did anything when you talk to her about your feelings, then she is no BFF to you. A BFF is a person who respects you and your feelings. [ Brandi_S's advice column | Ask Brandi_S A Question ]

If she's that immature about you not getting her a valentine's day gift, then she isn't a very good friend. I say talk to her, and tell her to be serious about it. If she continues to deny doing anything, she isn't the type of friend you need. Friends need to be supportive and not mad because you didn't get her a gift for a commercial holiday meant for couples.
