Should i end this friendship now

I've been friends with someone I met through my industry ( but not same workplace) for about a year now and we have good rapport, seem to get on really well when we meet up.( apx once a month for drinks etx)

Recently it's begun to feel a bit one sided. M always the organiser, now I don't mind this per se, sometimes one can fall into that role. But often she doesn't reply for a few days and I'll end up re-texting.

Recently made plans to meet tonight. She has cancelled on me before so I thought I'd just check the plans were going ahead.

Got a 'sorry can we cancel got sooo much to do before my holiday next week and need to watch my spending ' message this morning.

I know her holiday isn't next week it's the week.after, and she's not short of cash and if dad was she could have said this last week when plans were arranged rather than wait for me to check on the day.

She's just not that in to me, is she.

Feel like what's the point staying friends when I see very little effort on her side. Plus I was looking forward to going out tonight and when was she gonna tell me had I not checked??

I've replied along the lines of couldn't you have told me earlier but no reply and not expecting one.

@Metabigot I’ve been in your situation and it’s horrible.
my advice is, keep her as a friend but expect less from her. Look for other friends, join a group etc.

Seems not. There are a lot of these mean people on MN who think it's ok to make people feel even worse than they did when they originally posted

She clearly had made other plans last night and went out - hence why she’s seeing you today instead - she didn’t say this last night . I’m sitting back with some friends - it’s usually me texting them - I now wait -

Yes it gets tiring. One friend is SO busy lol. I gave up getting in touch. Only so much one can do.

Hmm. I think I would find it a bit over the top if a new friend of a year was arranging a night out with me every month.
Maybe she wants to be your friend but she's finding you a bit smothering?
