Got back in touch with a female friend

[Mike413]

Not too long ago I saw an old female friend at the gym. Her and I had a falling out almost a year ago but we made up(I hate that term but don't know what else to call it. Lol) and picked up where we left off.

It's funny how sometimes people come and go but then sometimes there's the boomer rang thing too where after a certain point your paths cross again and you pick up where you left off(or not). I'd rather have friends than enemies though.

Yes, it sometime's feels strange when someone you used to know suddenly becomes a part of your life again, this has also happened to me.

The term small world pops up more than you think.

 

[Mike413]

Yeah, I guess you could say "small world." She lives in my area though so it's not like I ran into her in Japan or something.

But you are right it did feel strange. I wasn't sure how to react at first since we both sort of stopped talking to each other but she motioned for me to get on the treadmill next to her(I was going to leave a blank one between us.Lol). She gave me a hug and then later she gave me her business card and we have been buddies again ever since. She's really the only person(other than family)who I stay in close contact with. My one other friend I rarely hear from or see.

It happens. I had a major falling out with someone about 8 years ago, 6 years ago we started talking, 3 years ago I was her best man.

I was friends with this woman for about 8 or 9 years. We went to cinema together, I went around to her house for coffee. And then it stopped. I've not talked to her for 3 years. She lives less than half a mile from where I work. She was always coming in to shop and then she stopped. I see her Mother every day almost and every now and again I ask about her daughter. I sent a xmas card a few years ago that didn't get returned. I've seen her in her car driving past me a few times and she did this smile and wave. But we've not talked. I find it amazing she isn't bothered enough to wonder how I am. I could be dead for all she knows. I do miss her, she was a lovely woman.

You were her best man? At her wedding? I didn't think women had "best men" at weddings. I thought that was just men who did that and women had the "maid of honor." Maybe you are referring to something else though.

Hmmmm. My guess is that she now has a boyfriend or husband who is maybe jealous and doesn't want you around. Or maybe she just doesn't need your companionship because she has him now.

I was friends with this woman a long time ago. I didn't call her because she was long distance but she called me. We were just friends. Then she met a guy who she started seeing and she stopped calling me.

I had a male friend who I lost touch with in part because he had a girlfriend. I'm not sure if she got jealous or what but sometimes people don't have time for others and then like I said sometimes people get jealous.

she was married when I met her. Her husband was nice enough. I don't think he would get jealous after 8 years. Her kids were little then so she had nobody to goto cinema with. Her husband didn't want to go. I guess her kids grew up and she started going with them and had no use for me. So she dropped me just like that.

One of the last times I saw she was walking past my shop. When she walked past the doorway, she quicken her walk up to avoid me. I saw her and stopped her and started chatting. It only occurred to me what she did after. She showed all this fake concern about me because I had these spots on my face. The last time I spoke to her, I saw her from a distance and I kept waving at her and she never responded once. The writing was on the wall that she wanted nothing to do with me. I used to worry myself sick but there was nothing I could do. It hurts that she maybe avoids coming into my shop (it's her nearest shop) because she doesn't want to see me. Her mother comes in and chats with me and thinks we still talk. When I told her we don't, she says her daughter is too busy. Sounds like ********.

If I told you she married another woman, would that clarify it any?

Not really. I never heard of that either. I guess that helps a little bit though.

Same here - a female "friend" of mine got in touch with me over the weekend after disappearing several years ago - the last time, i only found my wallet empty - the empty wallet syndrome probably occurred because she was 20+ years younger than me and higher than average maintenance - so, i brushed things off after exchanging pleasantries.
