this sounds something that has happened to me recently so i'll tell you what i think is the best thing to do...in my opinion the guy is scared of hurting you more in the future so he keeps his distance so you don't get too close in the wrong way...one way you can help this, is to just call him up and invite him to your place to play cards with you and some other friends or just to hang out...or invite him out to go to the new movie playing in town or just a casually lunch at McDonalds....well i hope this helps a little if you need anything else let me know

I, too have drifted away from friends I know since childhood. The best thing to do is have a peer mediation. Sounds totally, dorky, right?  Talk to her privately, so no one get embarrassed and tell her your honest feelings. i know it may be hard at first, but trust me, once you get going, it'll be easier. Set up some rules, like no interruptions, and let her talk. Tell her she's been hurting you, and that she's too bossy! don't raise your voice or tell her you hate her though. =P LET HER TALK TOO! Maybe she's been going through something. when my friends and I did this, I let them talk also. WE all ended on the floor bawling, but it was GOOD. I felt...RELIEVED. My friends and I are A LOT happier, and now, we know to talk BEFORE we blow up. Let her say what she needs too, but IF SHE starts getting aggressive, or rude-WALK AWAY. You don't deserve that. Maybe your friendship can be salvaged, most likely no, but at least you won't end the friendship on bad terms. Tell her that this is what's best for both of you, and you know longer desire her he company. Be the better person and walk away if things get ugly.\nGod bless, hun!

Cherish, you have done all that you can do. The best thing you can now is to begin making new friends. I always tell younger people such as yourself to make as many friends in this life as possible, because you never know what around the corner. Hopefully she will wise up and be the friend to you that she was before. But don't  sit around waiting ok. Don't worry your heart will heal.

If it got to the point they had to call hte cops I would say you blew it.  If you aren't really willing to accept that answer and you are willing to do ANYTHING to be friends with her again then patience is the key.  You have to prove to her that you are sorry and will never act that way again.  Let me tell you earning back someones trust is never an easy thing.  Be patient...wait for her... do what you can to show her you are sorry subtly and if a fight starts refuse to engage in it...

I strongly recommend writing him a letter. Make sure that when you apologize, if that's what you want to do, to do it for all the things that you said, and none of the things that he might have said at that time. Do not bring his part of the conversation into it; it's about you and your self-defense mechanism of being hurtful, not about anything he may have said (it's important to keep that in mind). Let him know why you lashed out, and that it's something that you do from time to time, and how it's something you wish you could avoid but can't right now, and that you're working on it (then you can make yourself work on it, right?). Then tell him that you value his friendship and hope that you can be friends once again. But remember that when you apologize you must do it from what went wrong on your side, not his. You can't change him, only yourself. And give it time. Guys have a warped view of time; we can let months pass without realizing it. Be nice, be honest, and be yourself, and he'll be your friend again.

greetings...\n\nif you tell her your feelings she might feel ashamed to talk to you again thus destroying your friendship.  heres what your going to do, treat the way you want to treat her and the way she want to be treated, sooner or later she will get the idea.  always prioritize her happiness.......

i pushed a friend away when i was 17. i lost our close friendship and it was one of the biggest mistakes i've made. we are still friends, but she'll never get close to me again. i'd pay tons of money to get that back.

If you have her number call her.\n\nIf you can't, just go to school tomorrow and talk to the guy and tell him that you wanna be his friend and take back the part about deciding not to be his friend. Ask him to forgive you and if you can be his friend again.\ndon't cry 'bout it.\n\n\nAll the best,\nStacie fan

This stuff happens from time to time - try not to take it too personally.  You'll find that friends and come and go throughout your entire life time.  Be kind and be there for her... she'll be back.

oh dear.. this has happend to me too. The best thing to do is try your hardest (though challeging) to move ahead with your life. Time to look for new friends! Be confident, and calm. In a month or so, call up your old friend again, maybe by then she will have missed you, and ask to be friends again. If not, well, there are plenty more fish in the pond. It is the cold, hard truth!

This can be only only little by little. Start by seeing other people, making new friends and start doing stuff without this particular friend. After some time he or she will understand that you two are getting apart and it won't be that hard though there will be some hurt...

Friendship is just as sacred as any other relationship, and need continous work. Talk it over, forgive eachother forwhatever...and go on.

Be honest with him. If your friendship is ended just by asking, then it really wasn't worth having in the first place.
