Ending a friendship
I had a friend in high school, we weren't besties or anything, but fairly close. After high school I moved away for college and he stayed in my hometown for college. Coming back home on break, I found I didn't really enjoy his company any more. We just didn't gel as much, we'd outgrown each other.
I'm finishing up College this year, and He contacts me every couple of months or so asking when I'll be home and wanting to hang out and such. I've hinted about as hard as I can. I can't string him along like this, and I don't want to hurt his feelings, but I'd like this friendship to end.
I should also say that he isn't friendless or anything, He's always been competent socially. I'm not, like, his only friend in the world or anything.
Obviously I'm being an ** here. I'm aware of that. But I feel like I've gotta say something, right? Should I humor him? Should I have, like, a man to man talk with him?
Daddy you are gone and its realy sore. i ate some brekfast and my sister said. if i eat all my lunch later she will give me a treat. i love you so much daddy xxxx
Hello hun and see you in my dreams **
I wouldn't get rid of him entirely. It'll bother you later in life.
Nothing says you have to be friends with him. Should you move back you may end up seeing him around town. And you never know if knowing him can help get you that job. My suggestion would be when he calls say you are busy and you will reach out when you have time. And then it is in your court. Hopefully, the friendship just sort of fades without burning bridges or hurting his feelings.
