I've been friends with this girl since I was 12. I'm 18 now, and we went to different high schools, but still talked online, met up once in a while, and remained good friends. We go to the same college now, and I thought hey great i have my best friend with me!

However, I saw her maybe twice since college began, and since, we haven't really talked or seen each other. She's studying/busy, I get that. but with other free time she has in between class after weekends etc, she's with this other guy who is her new best friend I guess. (she's definitely not into him romantically) Which is fine, you can have more than one best friend, but we're not even friends anymore at this point.

We literally NEVER talk, and I've tired numerous times, texting msn in person etc, trying to talk to her saying hi asking her how she is etc, and she always gives me one word answers and kind of goes back to her own thing, so i have left her alone.

I'm really frustrated and mad and sad that I just kind of lost my "best friend". She's never there for me when i need her anymore, and i feel like i dont know her anymore. And she definitely doesn't know me anymore. She treats me like a stranger basically.

The song "ignorance" by paramore is how i feel/things are right now haha.

HELP! What happened here? have I lost my best friend???

I feel a bit confused here so hopefully you guys can help me out.

I've been friends with this guy for 5 years now, we met in sociology class my junior year of hs and his senior year. From there, we talked all the time,sat together during lunch and eventually hung out on a regular basis every weekend. Other people were around some times but the majority of it was spent just the two of us hanging out,eating, seeing a movie or bowling,etc... He became the one person i told everything to and viceversa,and he knew when something was bothering me.

November '07 we saw Beowulf in 3d and that was the last time we hung out because he got a girlfriend. She's 5 years younger than him, shes 17 now and hes 22.(turns 23 in april) Because shes young i think thats why he tended to stay away and not hang out with me at all, or many of his other friends. I could be wrong about this of course,be he used to like me and i have reasons to suspect he still does thus wanting to distance himself while hes dating her.

Now, every so often when one of us misses the other we'll email,talk on aim,etc..with each other so it really doesn't seem so bad.

In the beginning of their relationship,and a few months ago on aim he accused me of flirting with him when i clearly wasn't. So i don't know if hes still hoping,or if its just one of those things where hes letting me know "hey you're flirting stop it."

Over the past 2 years that they've been dating i've been happy for him because he really deserves it after how all the other girls he liked treated him. But sometimes i tend to get really angry and upset over it because i miss doing stuff with him,but its got to the point where i question if i actually do like him or not.(i have no plans to tell him of such things while hes dating her)

And i doubt it means anything, but a lot of people we know insist we'll get married and constantly used to ask us if we were dating yet. Some even thought we were...

So i guess my question is, how can you tell the difference between liking them as a friend or more than a friend. Or, how do you deal with them ignoring you for the majority of the time while they have a gf/bf?
And has anyone gone through this before?

Any idea if any over the counter weight loss or any supplement pills work?? I'd like to know ASAP.. thankyou!!

Current Mood: blank

I think i mentioned a few entries back how i liked a guy that worked at the grocery store near my house. Anyway,we finally talked it wasn't much but it was something. I think he was just being friendly with me though because most people ask you how you are when you're checking out,though it seemed like he was making small talk because most bag boys there have never said anything to me other than "do you need help out with this?"I only recall seeing him check out one person in the video dept.and i don't remember him making small talk with them or asking how they were,just the usual asking of information to rent a video. I could be wrong though.

Should i continue trying to talk to him next time i see him?
