I went out with a friend tonight but was bored. We basically have nothing in common. We have nothing much to talk about and for a lot of the time we just sat in silence and I thought gosh what do I say now. We did not have fun, we did not laugh and my friend spent a lot of the time looking on her phone texting. She said lets meet againn soon. I said oh I will let you know as I do get quite busy.

I just cannot do this anymore. I came home thinking I did not really enjoy the evening. Conversation was forced and it was like I had to keep asking questions and did not really get much back

I mean, of all the strange things to say. I am deffo calling it a day. After we had been out she said oh lets meet again in 4 weeks time. I thought for what so all I said was oh I dont know it depends if I am busy or not.

So, do the decent thing, not meet up again and let this person spend time with people who actually value their company.

You sound a bit superior to be honest. Don't meet up with her again if you don't enjoy her company. You don't have to dissect everything she does. It might be odd to watch you eat but maybe she was too broke or otherwise hung up about something (diet?) to eat out with you. Just leave her be and you can both pursue other friendships.

I am not superior. If she did not want to eat because she was dieting or hard up then she should have said something. The other thing was I asked about her trip abroad and all she said was it was fine. Did not go into any detail . Friends share things. She shares nothing. I have had it and am not seeing her again

You often seem to have problems with your friends, Flute.

Sorry. I was just thinking about all your other threads.

BunnyBettChetwynnd · 10/06/2023 21:28

Did you ask her how she was? Perhaps she has a problem.

i did ask and she said she was ok. There seems little point discussing this anymore
