writes: My friend and I have been friends since kindergarten and although we dont hang around the same group of friends, we'd still always talk and hang out together throughout highschool. We've entered our first year and halfway through the first semester I met a guy who eventually became my boyfriend which I remained a secret. Until one day she sees me walking with him and I was kind of nervous/shy to admit that I was going out with the guy. I guess I was being a bit weird and awkward when she came up to say hi to me. Eventually I left with the guy and she stayed back at the school to wait for someone else. Later that night she exploded at me for making her feel awkward and dumb? My internet was disconnected and I never got to talk to her again. It has since been a good 3 months that we havent talked and I feel bad for losing a good friend whom I have known for so long. My question is how I could go about talking to her again. I mean, I dont exactly know WHY exactly she is so mad about something that seems so little to me. Maybe I am being ignorant? I admit I am not the innocent one here but I feel that shes being a bit stubborn in this situation right now too. Another friend of mine and I ran into her today and she completely ignored me. As if I was just some random person listening in on their conversation.I really want to be friends again. Please give me some suggestions! Reply to this Question Share |

well first of all she is probably hurting that she was considered to be your bf and you didnt even tell her about your new bf - that is a bit weird. so you are goin to have to be prepared to admit that you went about certain things in the wrong way. however, her ignoring you was a bit juvenile but maybe thats just her way. why not call her or better yet call over to her if thats possible, and suggest that the 2 of you sit down and try to resolve the situation, explain that you hate the thought of letting something like this ruin a valuable friendship. apologise to her and tell her that you would love to put this behind you and start fresh and that you miss her. i hope this helps, email me if you wanna talk xxx
