Q: Drifting Away

Me and this guy are great friends, we connect on such a good level and our pasts are so much alike, and are character so different, yet similar in the correct places, that it's so hard to comprehend how much we compliment eachother as friends. But that's all we can be...

He lives two states away, and he's much older than i. I'm not some sort of ditsy girl to usually get hung up in these things, we've known eachother for a year, and have talked every day, if not every other day in that year, each time averaging to maybe 3-4 hours a time. We always knew that one day we'd drift apart, and we'd stop talking, but we just figured it'd be better to keep the friendship and live it how it is now. I was there for him when he was in his lowest times, and he's helped me change so much as a person, and also has got me involved with religion, me being an atheistic and realistic type of person I was back then.



I'm still in school, and i've got so much time to live things out, and he's just about getting done with college, and is getting involved with a girl... I totally understand that we're going our seperate ways, and that it would happen. I totally dig this girl he's dating, I know she's the right choice for him, and i'm so happy that he's getting the happy ending he wants. Thing is, with his new girl, and with another person like that in his life, there's no doubt that we'll talk as much as we did. We both got so attatched together, I know him as if he's my brother, I love him as my brother, because their can't be anything more than that.

Lately, he's been avoiding me sorta, everytime we schedule a time to talk, there are constant brb's and when he says he'll call, it's always a guaraunteed 20-30 minute delay. I'm sick and tired of being hung up on this guy and he's not exchanging the same gratitude back, he always says he doesn't want us to go our independent ways, but he's giving me all these messages and vibes that are giving me the opposite idea. He's not the kind of person to mingle around what he really wants to say, he would be scared of hurting me, yes, but it would get to him to a point where he'd approach me about it. He ripped me apart on one of my old relationships, I felt so uncomfortable talking to him about it, but he insisted and said he was interested... I didn't wanna talk about it. It gave me a really uncomfortable vibe. Is he done and finished with me?

Should I end it, right now? I don't wanna play games with him and find little ways where he could think about me, not anymore. We could still be friends, but would that be good for the both of us? I know I should keep it short if we do even talk in the future, but I just don't know how to end it. It's hurting more and more to see him with her, eventhough i'm happy for him, but it's just not even possible for us to stay friends. What should I do? Are there any ways to work around this? Are these vibes really what I think they are?

I've been hurt so many times in the past, and I just can't live with putting this guy as my first priority if he can't even focus on our friendship in the least. I love this guy to death, I love him so much i'll let him go because it's for his best. Or is it?

First things first you need to get your emotions sorted out in the respect of what you see yourself as. At times, you were sounding like you're his girlfriend. Tell yourself you are just a friend. Now, personally, what i'd do is i'd tell him (or her in my case) outright that i'm really happy for him, and that even though he has this girl just for him to know that you're always there for him as a friend (queue big hug here). Just say what comes from your heart. Tell him that you really care for him. Tell him that he's like a brother. But most importantly show him that you're happy just being friends, because maybe he's awkward around you if he thinks you want more than just friendship. I hope that helps!
