Although it's great to have a very close friend, it may not be a bad idea to make a few new friends as well. We all like to be around people who make us feel good and that we think are fun to be around.

I wouldn't take it too personally if your friend doesn't get back to you right away. There are literally thousands of things that could be going on in a person's life. Some of those things could be very serious and important. It's possible that responding to a text or phone call is not at the top of their list of what they absolutely need to do in their life at that moment.
