Maybe he is trying to break away from you. When people move, it's pretty difficult to keep the original close relationship you guys used to have. My friend, best friend, moved ta Arizona and hardly, if ever, talks to me, and I miss the realtionship, but sometimes freinds come and go.
I mean, you could keep trying to hang out with him and still talk to him, but one of these days your just gonna get fed up with him and stop trying, because a freidnship that ends never really started in the first place.
Just give him some space and time, maybe talking to you makes him miss you and makes him really sad because of all the people and things he left behind and he is probably trying to still adapt to this lifestyle, even after a ciuple years, and trying to keep his past his past. If that made any sense at all...
I know it sucks and it hurts and you don't understand why they want to do this, but put yourself in his shoes.
It's not you, it's him. Good luckk [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
countriebabe08 answered Tuesday January 15 2008, 3:21 pm: Y'all have just simply grown up. As you get older, guys sometimes think they can't hang out with girls. If you really want to hang out with him, tell him. Just say, I really miss the relationship we used to have as best friends...or maybe he just doesn't want to hang out with you. Since yall are older, he probably gets better along with his guy friends and wouldn't know what to do with a one-on-one friendship with a girl. I really don't know, because I don't know how your relationship previously was, but that is the most reasonable explanation i have.
Hope I helped.
