Out of Sight, Out of Mind

It can appear odd. I have friends that I’ll run into at gatherings…girls that I really like and have known for years from high school. At the functions…we’ll make sketchy plans (nothing definite with a date and time) to have lunch or go shopping or watch a movie. But it doesn’t always materialize…because we’re so busy (me with my job…them with their kids, etc). We hardly talk on the phone…and I’ve nothing at all against them. Since we know each other well…there’s an understanding that things come up…people get busy,

If it’s someone that you JUST met…it’s odd that they’d be acting like your best friend (considering they don’t know you well). I’ve seen some people who are kinda “over-the-top” when they meet you…lol. Dunno why. Could be that they’re not too active on facebook…or they’re busy as you said…or lazy in making the effort to form a new friendship. You could try calling them as opposed to communicating via facebook…invite them over, etc. Some people are better with communication when they see you in person…or hear your voice. Everyone’s different.

Yeah…it happens… I used to get annoyed and think thats not right or not fair or they’re not sincere friends..but its not that at all… everyone is different.

And I was talking about people you’ve known for yearssss…For me personally, taking the time out to call someone requires just as much effort as it does to visit them face to face… however when you dont have any other means of contacting them except through facebook and they don’t respond well to you, then its most definitely a sign that they dont care to speak to you outside of certain gatherings.
