Reconnecting with friends

Dana

Hi. I am trying to reconnect with two friends. One woman and one man.

I recently had a fight with my female friend on Wednesday, and I put distance. The thing is I miss our friendship.

With my male friend, the situation is a bit complicated. We texted often, and he used to use emojis. Now, he is more cold in his texts, and looks like he doesn't want to talk to me anymore. I have a feeling that he lost his interest in me. I asked him today, but no response.

What would be the best approach to recover both friendships? Your response will be appreciated. Thank you! Slight smile

    Actually I sorted out things with my female friend. Everything is better.

    I received a couple of messages from my male friend. He was actually busy because he recently returned from a long trip. 

  • As it was only today that you had texted your male friend, there could be all sorts of reasons as to why he hasn't responded yet. For now, try not to obsess about it. Work on the assumption that he will be in touch as and when he is able to, or wants to. If you still haven't heard from him within the next month or so, then it may well be that he has decided to distance himself from the friendship, in which case all you can do is accept it.

    With your female friend, why don't you get in touch with her and say something like, "I'm sorry we fell out. Is it possible that we can still be friends because I miss you and our friendship?"
