Friendships
Ever have one of those friends that acts like a close friend one day, then disappears from your life for weeks at a time, or is "never available" to get together with you, but seems available for everyone else?
Are they really friends? Or just using you? How do you tell? If you ask, they will give you one of those fake standard answers anyway. I always figured the proof is in the pudding. If you try to hang out with them over and over and over again and they always have a perfect excuse, but are available for others, then you are a schmuck and it's time to dump the friend even if you really care for them. Even if it's hard. Don't be a schmuck.

Been there. I was even the best man for this particular friend. He started always being busy. When he'd actually commit to getting together to drink some beers and play some video games, he simply wouldn't show up. Later I'd ask him about it and he'd say \"something came up\". Well couldn't you have at least called?\r

I recognized this feeling as a \"break-up\" -- I'd been through it many times with women. Sometimes friendships, like any relationship, just run their course and end. Then you find new and better friends. :D
