I was really upset when I read his email because I really care for him and hate to see him like this.I now really want to cheer him up. I'm not going to see him for a few weeks so need to communicate by email. I'm pleased that he feels he can confide in me, but don't know what I can say to improve the situation. He is normally such a happy laid back person and I'm worried about him and want him to know that I care. Does anyone have any ideas on what I should say? Reply to this Question

 no offence, cards are nice and all but if this friend of yours is laid back then hell probably take the card say o thanks put it on his china for u weeks and forget all about it, then throw it away next time he cleans.
if u really want to cheer him up take him out. dont spend too much, but enough to have fun. pool is every guys sport. if u are over 21 go out to a bar get some drinks and play some pool and meet some other people from the area and share some laughs.
give him a night that he'll want to talk about and want to repeat (not trying to sound sexual).
do you kinda get my drift?

Maybe you guys could chat on the phone or by IM... maybe like yahoo! Messenger ...or get on facebook or myspace! Talk a bit, and just make him happier by talkin and chilling with him :)

And if both of you have an instant messenger, spend some time on there chatting at night or whenever you have free time. =D
Also encourage him to continue seeking a great job, not in an remind-every-day sense, but ask "How's it going on jobs? Need any help?"
Being open with him about his worries will go a long way, best of luck!!
