my one friend myra we met in 5th grade we were good buds for 2 years intill one day it wasnt even my fault at all… :S ok so my mom dropped me off at her house
she told me to tell her that her dad said hi… i was ok ill tell her i told her when we were in her bed room i was like oh hey my mom told me to tell u your dad said hi
she was about to open her door and yell hi dad and i was like wait no not him your other dad she was like what do u mean my other dad?!! u knew i had a other dad?!! i didnt know my mom did she was upset all that night i had to leave early and when i tried to call her again she ran away i finally got to see her again by chance when i was 17 at a church play she didnt act like she was my friend then i felt like crying i never stoped thinking about her and here i got to see her again and she is acting weird idk we only got to talk that one night and she left again disapeared no one knew anything i would call her mom like once every other month to see if she heard from her again and nothing i hate to give up…but i did give up for awhile a few years i tried to forget about her but her mother’s number was a curse to me because when we were little we made up a poem about the number so we would never forget it( me and my sis) i was about 23
one day i tried out of the blue her mom was like hey!! i heard from her again this is her cell phone number we only talked for a few days here n there on the phone never even got a chance to met her again she was always so “busy” i kept telling my self maybe were not meant to be friends… were not meant to be friends just give up just give up but the stuborn part of me wont give up and one day i tried to find her online i couldnt find her so i found her sister instead i got her number again when i was 26 but i couldnt call her all the time because i dont have a phone or alot of money to use the pay phone by this time were hundreds of miles apart but stupid me hates to give up still holding on…
why do i keep thinking about her for just give up were never going to met again im 29 now almost 30…and then she found me on myspace
i was like a lil kid on crack talking to her on yahoo messanger it felt so good to chat with her its weird she has 3 kids now and is going through a divorce we only got to chat for a hour because she said she had to go omg it felt like my heart got ripped out of my chest im so stupid all i ever wanted was a best friend
i dont know she say’s…she’ll be on tommorow at 2pm but i get this feeling like she wont be on and this time im giving up
a part of me says us 2 need to be friends and the other part of me screams im just a dork :smack:
Vicky Pollard? Is that you?
Alright, I read that whole thing twice, but am confused about the question.
With discrete accuracy would you like to ask us about the advice you’re looking for?
(You’ve already given us the scenario)
Da’hell?
if i should still believe we are friends
:eek: Damn I can’t imagine the pain you must have in your head and eyes.
I think by what I was able to read was as children they got into some dumb argument and it broke off their friendship and now years later they met through myspace and had a chat via IM for an hour but then her friend had to go and she thinks perhaps she was just blowing her off.
Her friend told her she would be on the next day at a certain time but she thinks she won’t be on.
They are now 29 and 30 and so they are not kids anymore but if her friend does not contact her again through IM should she even worry about it since it is close to 20 years later. One parts says attempt to build a new friendship and another part thinks it is no big deal as it was so long ago.
Again I think that is what she said and the advice she wants is to let it go or try and force a new friendship.
I would say that if she is on IM and you speak again then great if not then let it go.
Laura41378 - remember that you only have control over your thoughts and feelings, you may have a stronger feeling toward this person than she has for you but that’s ok. It sounds like your “friend” has been through some difficulties of her own and may need a friend but you don’t want to get hurt again when she flitters away like a little bird. My advice would be to stay open to this person - due to compassion for another person who may need you as a friend more than your own desire for friendship. But don’t let yourself get too caught up in the relationship, keep it nice and cool. Be there when she needs you, don’t sweat it when she backs off and always keep an open mind.
Thanks for the summary; I couldn’t get past the first “sentence.”
First wait until tomorrow and see if she’s on or not. But if not, that doesn’t mean you have to give up. She still likes you or she wouldn’t have said that, but with three children she’s probably really busy. It’s like **nd-n8 ** said - stay open to the relationship. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing and you don’t have to be very best friends from the beginning. Just take it as it comes.
i have really bad grammer
i give up just someone delete my stupid post
and my account :smack:
I am very sorry to be so blunt, but you are 30 years old or older and still haven’t learned how to write a normal sentence.
Ever heard of punctuation?
I was going to say something to this effect as well but I wondered if english was not her first language which could maybe explain the “strange” consistancy of the post.
laura41378: The one thing I can say is that people change quite a bit and you might not even want to be friends with the person your old friend changed into. Get to know the new person and go from there.
And if you expect to stay here, stop posting for a while and read. You really need to brush up on things we consider the fundamentals of written communication: spelling, capitalization, and sentence and paragraph structure. Reading the other posts here will help.
Wait, did she have two gay dads or was one a step-dad or something?
I think I get the gist of the OP. Stupid fight, friendship ended, find each other on MySpace (soon this is going to be the oldest story in the world. Except maybe sub Facebook for MySpace). I recommend Laura just apologize, if she hasn’t already (or if she did something wrong. can’t quite tell. But either way I think she feels the fight was her fault). Then she can go on her way. Closure’s nice.
That’s because you posted the same thing in two forums. We only post something once around here. That was just housekeeping by a moderator, and it happens if you post something twice no matter how clear and brilliant it is.
I’m sorry, but my jaw just hit the floor when I read this part. The entire time I was trying to read the first part of your post, my brain was screaming, “Someone needs to tell this girl that there is a minimum age of 13 to sign up for this board.”
Wow. I don’t want to pile on, so I’ll just say that if you really are almost 30 (or even a teenager), it would behoove you to not let something this small affect you as much as it has. I’d expect this kind of meltdown for a close relative dying or something, but this?
Go out and see a movie, and on the way home stop and get some ice cream or something else that makes you happy. You need to loosen up and let go of this, whatever happens tomorrow. If any of your current obsessive attitude shone through during your chat with your friend, then yeah, it may be no surprise she bailed on your conversation.
I think that was an instruction, not an observation. Difficult to tell with no punctuation.
Don’t worry about it. It’s not stupid. I can see you were just getting a lot of stuff off your chest; I know how it feels to have old history stay in the back of your mind and be excited about maybe healing old wounds and making a new friendship with the person.
I’m glad you got to catch up with her and talk for an hour. Maybe neither of you is the same person anymore, but clearly she is open to at least chatting. See if she is still someone you want to know and not just a piece of history you want to set right. If she is caught up in her family and other things, it doesn’t mean she is rejecting a friendship with you, just that she has other things to take care of.
I still remember friends who I got along with great one day who stopped talking to me the next. It’s still puzzling and can hurt.
Laura has two daddies? I still can’t wrap my mind around that. One was a stepdad? The milkman? Wha?
