[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]17:33 You sound like one of those "friends" who only does things expecting an immediate return--like it's a financial transaction. A friendship is an organic things it can grow in fits and starts and then slow to a crawl. Your friend has a new baby--you can post on Facebook without much emotional entanglement--texting sometimes requires that you stop what you are doing and have to respond right away--with a baby--not always possible! Visiting a friend that lives 30 MINUTES AWAY? ok, well I live in DC and I could be very far away in 30 minutes. You sound really high maintenance. Your friend could have a lot going on that she's not willing to share, even with the person who gave her a shower. [/quote]

Nope, not at all. Perhaps I wasn't clear in my initial post. We were friends for several years, even through distance. When I moved to the area, she would only spend time with me if I drove to her. This includes an entire summer when she was not working and did not have a new baby (nor was she pregnant). It was apparent I was the only one making the effort (and people on here agreed when I posted asking for opinions) so I took a step back. Slowly lessened my calls (I always got voicemail anyway), stopped the texts. Didn't hear from her. I'm not going to waste time trying to force a friendship if the other doesn't want it. [/quote]
