My buddy and I met and lived together for a few years in college - we hung out all the time, shared a lot of inside jokes, etc. We were what I would call best friends. I recently moved out after graduation for financial reasons, but we're still in the same town. He's busy with school and stuff, but is it unreasonable for me to try and hang out with him every week or so? We used to be so close, but now when I ask if he wants to get together I usually just get "I'm too busy" or "maybe, idk." He goes out to parties with his new friends from extracurricular stuff on weekends fairly often though. It probably doesn't help that I usually work weekends, so I try to hang out on weeknights when he's busy with schoolwork and stuff...but still, it makes me sad that our friendship is seemingly dying. I understand that he's meeting new people and growing in that way, but can't you keep old relationships alive too? Has anybody else had this happen? I feel like the best friend I knew and loved is just gone and doesn't care. I don't understand...my other friends and I still make time for each other nearly every week, and our lifestyles are all different. Any advice? Am I just being paranoid? I just want my best buddy back :(
