How can I hang out with my bff more often without losing her to her other friends?

Question

My best friend and I have known each other since the 3rd grade. Ever since we got into middle school last fall,we've made new friends-but we didn't stop hanging out or anything.It's just that we don't hang out as much as we used to because we both go to different schools and i don't see her everyday anymore. I'm afraid that i'll lose her. She does live only a few blocks away, but sometimes when i walk there she probably wouldn't be home. I would call her off-the-hook, but she barely picks up her phone-she'd probably pick up only 2 or 3 times, and sometimes she would pick up then hang up on me. Whenever she does that it makes me worried that something is going wrong, but nothing is. i've talked to her before but it's hard because we both go to different schools, and she has other friends too. I really don't want to lose her after all that we've been through together in our friendship.

Answer 1

Hun, if she is hanging up on you.. that's not right. I know it hurts when best friends become less close but it isn't nice or ok for her to ignore your phone calls or hang up on you when you call. You shouldn't be the one putting all the effort into the friendship. I think  you should just let it go for now and focus on school and your new friends. You will find someone who treats you better then the other girl. If she comes to you and wants to be friends and hang out again then great.. but you need to back off and make her realize it's not ok for her to treat you that way.

Answer 2

listen mama just keep trying. even if its just talking on the phone. or you can talk to her and make one day a week that you two go out together and catch up or even every two weeks. i was best friends with a girl for a few years in elem/middle school. then my mom moved me away. we didnt speak for like 6 years. just because neither of us had a car to see eachother and the phone calls started to hault... on both of our sides. then we saw eachother in the mall and since then we speak every day... for the past 6 years. so if yall are truly best friends then you will get through it.

Whenever you get ahold of her by phone, don't just chat, remember to ask at the end if she wants to hang out [insert date] at [insert place & time].  At the end of your time there, ask her if she wants to do the same next week, etc.  She may not be your best friend if you don't get to talk to her much, but at least she can still be your friend, neh?  Plus, have you tried E-mail? I'm more inclined to answer my email than my phone sometimes because I can answer it whenever I feel like it.  Good luck!
