So I guess I'm just one of those people who believes in trying to fix a friendship or relationship instead of just dropping it as soon as something goes bad or the other person starts blowing me off. I know most people hate confrontation and will avoid it at all costs, but if it's obvious the person isn't trying to completely cut you out of their life (i.e. still responds to texts as long as you're not asking them to hang out, knows they'll still see you in group functions because you have mutual friends), but just doesn't want to see you right now, wouldn't the best approach be to ask them what's going on and try and talk about it rather than wait months later and think time not talking will fix it? And maybe it's different between men and women. If I'm having a problem with a female friend I really care about, I'll ask what's wrong. Why isn't it ok to do the same when the friend is the opposite sex? Is it because guys just don't want to communicate? I would rather have the hard conversation and work it out if it's possible, but I guess I'm in the minority.
