I wanna be friends again!?

Question

Okay, my ex-best friends(lets call her Mary) we don't really talk no more. We talk sometimes but not like we used to. When we see each other we wave. I want to hang out with her again. We were really tight. She was my best friend. We arent REALLY good friends anymore because, there was these people around town liening on me.

I don't want to call her and be like "Marie I want to hang out with you again"...I know she will prolly feel weird.

What should I say to her?

When I see her ride by iinvite the car, should I wave?

Well, what's a good plan so I can be good friends with her again. I can't invite her anywhere because I only have my permit and my Mom won't let me get the car(lol, im not going to go anywhere illegally)..

Start gradually, just like you would with someone you'd just met.  If she has a myspace or facebook, leave her a comment now and then... just a "hey, what's up?"  You can do the same thing with texting.  Don't worry about it seeming weird, or that she'll think "Why is she talking to me?"  You wouldn't feel that way if she started talking to you, would you?  You'd probably be glad to hear from her.

Once you've had a few conversations - even if it's just a couple short ones - go ahead and say, "Hey, we need to hang out sometime!"  And then ask her if she wants to do something... go to the movies, the mall, the pool.  Even if you can't drive yourself, maybe your mom can.  Or maybe she'll offer to drive.
