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!

i have a friend doing the exact same thing. dump her. but only if she's a bit(h. if she's nice, don't. but if you deside to (and you totally can) don't put the blame on anyone. Just say you don't like how the friendship has gone, and your really not comftordable with the situation. so you think it best if you don't hang out anymore. tell her that, and tell her your leaving the friendship with overall good feelings, and that you like her, but that you really just need to end it, and leave it at that. she doesn't need any other reasons, Don't put the blame on her, or you, otherwise she will be mean about it.

I stopped talking to my best friend for the first 18 years of my life becaue her emotional problems were getting so bad I coulnd't deal with it anymore. She wasn't fun anymore. Yet I miss her sometimes terribly.\nI moved out of town and we stopped talking. When I went back to my hometown 20 years later and drove past her house there she was going inside and I just kept driving. We considered ourselves sisters.\nSometimes you just have to make the break.\nYou need to tell her you need some time to yourself.\nAnd not feel guilty.\nTell her you can't keep driving her around and if she won't get her license you can't help her anymore. You will be doing her a big favor. \nTell her she needs to be independent from you. Tell her your tired and worn out and can't help her any more. It won't stop until you tell her.\nEither that or just move to another town.

Just tell her what you think and that you don't like what she's doing.  Tell her that you like her as a friend but thats it and you would appreciate it if she would keep her butt and other body parts out of you/your friend's faces.

Just take her aside privately and say "Look, I want to apologize for what I said... I really do like you alot, I don't know why I said what I said before, but it wasn't true."\n\nKeep it simple! She'll be happy.

Tell your friend that you can see why he likes HER, but it's too late because you already know that she likes YOU.  \nThen tell him ' I hope you don't get mad about it because we're buddies."

i would try and give her hints but try and keep it real too. and if it comes down to it act like your not really into her anymore (but you really are) and she'll come crawling to you!

Tell her to her face, be direct, don't be evasive.  Tell her your feelings have changed and that you don't want to go out with her anymore.  Let her talk or cry or whatever else she needs to do, and let her feel like she has been heard.  Don't make any lame promises like "we can still be friends".  If there is another girl this isn't the time to tell her that, either.  Be direct, be kind, be firm.  Then change your cell phone number.  Good Luck to both of you.

If you are really her friend and not just someone trying to hurt her feelings , then I would tell her how people view her and that in the long run she is going to be the one hurt by this behavior. I knew someone like that once, and when she decided to change and get her life back on track ,she actually had to move out of state before she could find someone that wanted to have a relationship with her because everyone knew her reputation.

Yes.... and she never will change no matter what you would like to believe... I walked away from my manipulative "friend" and haven't talked in a year...  We had known each other 15 years.... I miss her sometimes... but I know it is the only the friend I thought she was... best of luck!

Well You Say You Have Been Friends For A Long Time And It Is Difficult To Tell Her, Mabe It Can Come Up In A Casual Convo. And Make It Clear That You Are Not Interested In Females, In Your ChildHood You Were Curious And Now You Know You Are Not Curious Any More, And Are Very Satisfied With Dating Men Only, Females Dont Interest You/Turn You On, etc.  Shes A Good Friend And Nothing Else,  I believe That If You Two Are As Close As You Say, Then You Should Know What To Say From Your Heart And She Should Be Understanding. I Wish You The Best Of Luck With Your Friendship ;-)

I think you should stop talking to her,because she might only want to be friends and that will hurt

Make sure you tell her you deserve an explanation for her distance. This is important. You have the right to know why she no longer wishes to be a part of your life. Just pull her to the side nicely or if you can catch her alone even better and just be like, "Hey, I've noticed you've been distant lately, is there anything wrong...did I do something to upset you?" Then if she doesn't wanna talk or explain herself, tell her "I deserve an explanation and I'll only try this once if your gonna give me the cold shoulder. I care about you enough to address the situation, but if you don't wanna be my friend anymore, at least have the decency to inform me like a woman". After this. just do what's in your heart. Go your separate ways and look into other options in friends. Someone is out there in the same boat as you and you'll find a new BFF soon. Good Luck!

Make it mutual, if you and u have been friends for a long time she'll probably want to be friends back, just go back up to her and say you know if you want to be friends again it's okay with me if you don't wan to be friends whatever that's cool. If she truely is your friend she'll want to be friends again.

You obviously hurt her badly and it is taking her some time to get over that. Don't push her, try writing her a letter explaining the tough time you were having (I am sure she knows but tell her anyway) and apologise for what you did.  Tell her what your friendship meant to you, explain how you have changed and grown as a person and see what she says.  She may be too deeply hurt in which case you must let her go but at least you have told her why you behaved the way you did and she may come to understand that in time.

Be honest.  Tell her you don't feel anything for her anymore and that you would rather not waste her time.
