I’m unsure and confused…
My closest male friend and I basically stopped talking at the end of April, with the end of the semester and our geographical separation…I tried calling him a couple of times and sent him e-mails to chat and see if he wanted to hang out, sent him a postcard from my vacation, but never heard a word from him. It was like I didn’t exist–out of sight, out of mind.
Strangely, he called me twice tonight while my phone was off and left a message each time, expressing his wish to hang out one more time before he goes to Paris for a year of abroad studies. I’m kinda confused: why the sudden calls? And what irks me about the messages is that he’s clearly drunk, and he was speaking in broken, unclear French…was it just a drunk dialing?
I’m still a little hurt by his behavior toward me in the past two moths, and I was totally surprised he called me. Though I’d really like to see him and wish him luck with the move to Europe, I have practically no means to get to his apartment (no car, no cash, nowhere to stay in his town). These things combined…I’ve sort of already checked out of any possibility of seeing him. I dunno, should I figure out a way to see him before he leaves for a year? Or should I find some (polite and non-friendship-ending) way of telling him I’m unable to? I just really don’t understand him sometimes…
(I should mention that this is a completely platonic friendship)
