How do you maintain a friendship?
May 25th, 2009 | by Andy |
I have a “friend” for about 5 years or so now and we hardly talk to each other. It’s really weird. We have a “Friendship-online.” So far she is studying at a university and told people at her website that she would be busy for months to come. My problem is maintaining a friendship. I don’t know what else to say to keep the conversation going. We both know and have mentioned we respect each other’s privacy but mainly our conversations are very boring.
Thanks a lot for your responses and heheh the first person who replied about 14k made me laugh.
Okay, now that I think of it more right now, I see my problem is communcation. What kind of questions do I ask her to kick start a conversation? As for her, I do not know but I do know I am honest with her. Her emails usually sound interesting and yeah I remmebered her say she is going through something real bad about pressure at keeping up in school subjects that she is hardly eating. I gave her advice but I haven’t heard anythign since then. Then I sent her a egreeting card and another email yesterday to see how she’s doing but no answer and I understand but I noticed her online status icon is on which means she could have received my email. I don’t blame her at all. I just wish I knew what else to say to show my support and have some things to talk about with her that when she can we can have a good and fun talk.
No, my “friend” is a girl, not a guy. Hehe.
Thanks so much everyone for replying! I am very very grateful!! :=) Some of your answers sound good reasons for my situation but I think cataclysmic_.. ’s answer is the one that hit the nail.
I have thought about it but I needed someone’s advice and thanks to you you confirmed and gave me good advice I need for this situation. Thanks a million! :=)

When someone is your friend, and you haven’t had a falling out, then she is still your friend even if you don’t hear from her in years. You can contact her, but if she’s too busy to respond, don’t take it personally. You or I might think it would take only a few seconds to say, “Hi; too busy right now.” But she may be the type who doesn’t like short responses, and is waiting until she has time to send you a long message, catching up on all the news. It may also be that there is a lot of s**t going down for her right now, and her attention is diverted. She’s still your friend unless you blame her for the long silence and take offense.
