I have this guy friend, and before I moved he promised to stay in touch, but he has not. Is it b/c he is a guy

We have been friends for a really long time, and I was really hoping that he would keep in touch with me. Does he really like me for a friend, or does he just feel sorry for me? Serious answers only please. Please don't tell me that I need to get a life. I have one, I just miss my best friend.

Chances are likely he does like you as a friend, but a lot of people have difficulty keeping in touch over long distances. That's something that happens when people move, or leave high school, or college. Get in touch with him, let him know you miss having your best friend around, but if he doesn't keep in touch, there's not much you can do to force him. I hope you get to know some new friends in your new locale!
Reply:It sounds like he's a typical person of this day and age who doesn't place a value on keeping his word. You might want to confront him about it one time since you like him so well, but it doesn't sound good.
Reply:Well with my friends, I really never kept in touch, because things change and people change and life goes on
Reply:No; he is probably living life too fast, too busy.





Women get that way too. Not just guys.





You be more careful to whom you choose to give your phone, email, or address.
Reply:It is harder sometimes for guys to express how they feel, even to girls that are just friends. I have had male friends and we did stay in touch for a couple years after i moved away. Unfourtuantly though life does go on and we each met new people. I would have to be the one though that made the calls and arrangments to met up someplace. He is now married and so am I and after 15 years we have lost contact, but I still feel he is a very good friend.
Reply:People often start out with the best of good intentions; and then wham, life happens. I have to say though, that it may be possible that he is "just not that into you" if he's let his promise go.... sad, but true.


Write him, and tell it like it is. See what his reaction is. Then you can make some new decisions. Good luck!
Reply:ppl often get lazy to contact ppl they dont see reguarlly,,it might be too he has feelings for you and is hurt,...maybe you should text him or somethin jus to test the water
Reply:lol Now that's labelling the male gender... that's bad. Someone might get offended.





No, it's not because he's a guy (I almost wrote 'girl'... SORRY!). You could call him or send him an e-mail or letter... remind him you want to keep in contact and well, he's your best friend, you can tell him you miss him :P


But just send a friendly reminder and tell him what's going on with you and how your house is/etc. Just make a conversation and ask him to reply in an e-mail or letter or something.
Reply:NO!!!!!!!!!!! you should either tell him or start you should start staying in touch w/ him
Reply:Possibly, most guys aren't very good at staying in touch. I've moved around a lot, and I hardly keep in touch with anyone once I've moved. But as soon as I run into someone again, we laugh and joke like we've neer been apart.
Reply:People come and People go. Noone ever stays in touch like they say they will. They get busy with their lives and forget the people in the past.
Reply:dude i feel the same way talk to me on IM
Reply:Are you contacting him or waiting for him? It's possible he lost your contact info. But if he has itl, there are any number of reasons why he's not contacting you. He could be moving on, involved with someone, busy, or maybe he only made that promise to be kind and wasn't really interested. Kind of the classic "Yeah, I'll call you sometime" line. It doesn't mean he's a bad guy, just that he didn't want to hurt your feelings by being blunt or brutally honest.
Reply:He got tied of the same spread ---- went looking for new -- old story -- move on
Reply:no
Reply:How long has it been since you've heard from him? maybe you should get in touch with him and tell him you miss him. Guys need to be told also.





Don't sweat it. Just call or write to him and do it soon. He may be wanting to hear from you or something may be keeping him from contacting you.
Reply:When people promise to keep in touch they don't always I am sorry you are sad from missing your friend and you can try to keep in touch but if he will not respond then there is nothing you can do.
Reply:he's got a life too, how long has it been? just becuase you don't talk every second day dosen't mean your not friends. i've got friends i talk to once a year but when we hook up we still have a good time. don't make a problem out of no problem.... unless you expect more from the realationship?
Reply:No - he's probably just a bad keep in toucher.





I am a bad keep in toucher. I have two really close girlfriends - both live far away. They both know that I stink so they keep me on their joke email list so they send me an 'email' at least once a week. I don't return emails but the emails do spurn me give a call once/twice a month - plus I return their phone calls.





I try not to be bad - but it's something I've always been...my mom always had to ride me about thank you notes - even now when I am 36 I still stink.





Have a heart and keep calling and emailing.
