I feel like a friend is pulling away but too afraid to admit it. I even told her to be honest and that it is okay if she is but she says she is not. She said she just kept on forgetting to check her phone but no one forgets to check their phone for almost two weeks. And she is doing this to other people as well, not just me. But she is a bad liar because then she told me that she has been talking to someone else the whole time. I feel like she only asks me what's up and I will respond and she will not reply back even if I ask her what's up. All texts are one or two word answers now and the time between each text gets longer and longer. At least a week or two will pass before she lands a one or two word text. She actually started becoming distant in the beginning of the spring semester when she knew that would probably be her last but it was gradual. But now that we are a littke more than halfway through the summer, she has pulled away a lot more and a lot quicker. I think she is pulling away but just wanted to make sure. Do you guys think she is? I am thinking of telling her one more time to be honest and that if she is pulling away, than it is okay. But not sure if I should. What do you think I should do? If she is pulling away then I respect that, especially since she is going to a new college which would definitely be the reason she is pulling away if that is the case. I think she is texting out of obligation or boredom.

Sometimes these things aren't verbalized. If she is acting like she is pulling away, she probably is. It's okay to let that happen without asking her again, especially if you have asked before and felt that she did not give you an honest answer.

I would let her go and focus on developing other relationships. Keep replying to her as you see fit, but don't waste your mental energy trying to keep up a relationship that is no longer as close.

Sounds like you let her know that you feel she is pulling away. Let the friend know you sense that and if that is what she needs to do for herself you respect that...but if she needs your friendship let her know that the door is open and you care.

Friends often come and go not every relationship is ended with resolution and tied up with a bow ... You already asked her and shes not responding often to your texts. .. Just let it go and focus on meeting new people

Take care
