My mate is being really wierd

hi people,

thought i'd share this with you lot. for some strange reason one of my best mate's is acting really weird. all of a sudden, whenever i phone him he never picks up his phone and whenever i text him, he never replies this has been going on for about 2 months now. the last time i spoke to him in april he was fine and i jsut can't understand why he's decideing to ignore me all of a sudden? What do you guys think i should do?

maybe he realised he's gay and has a crush on you and is too embarrassed to talk to you

Call his house phone or send him an email or something. If he continues to ignore you, he's being a p**** and he doesn't deserve your friendship. But to be honest, you must have done something to him to upset him whatever for him to ignore you like that. Then again as a best friend he should tell you directly rather than acting like a 2yr old and just ignoring you :smile:. Anyway hope this helps x
Maybe someone stole his phone and your texting that someone who stole the phone, therefore they wouldnt really want to pick up. Errm if not, go up to your mate face to face and ask them what the problem is.

Very odd but there's no way we can figure out what's wrong. Can you think of anything you might have done to annoy him? Maybe you should go round and see him. It may be that he has had some kind of personal crisis that he finds hard to talk about.

but surely if someone has stolen his phone he would have blocked it by now?:confused:

Could be depression, maybe he doesn't feel like speaking to anybody? Send him an email/text asking if he is ok I guess.

Face to face is the only way. There can be no avoidance.
id say try and arrange a face to face chat

if thats possible (i have no idea how far away etc you live from each other)

there does seem to be a big issue though...not talking for that length of time is odd.

have any other freinds/associates spoken to him?

i live in london and he lives in a remote village on teh ssusex coast and neither of us drive so meeting face to face will be a problem. he doesn't know my other friends i don't know his.

the whole situation is really stressing me out, what have i done to deserve this?:confused:

how long have you been freinds?

as i feel that would be a major factor in whats happening

ie if you havent been long..it could just be that he doesnt see you as as good a freind as you see him, so has just abandoned you

but alternatively...if youve been freinds for years, it could be something like a reason only the freind knows (ie something a bit more serious than just getting bored of the freindship etc)

i've known him for about 3 years. we first got to know each other cos we shard a house in our final year at uni that was in 2003/2004 and since then we've kept in touch until now when he's acting all weird.

hmm...not sure what advice i can give then, as you seem quite close freinds (and not just 'freinds' who met on myspace or msn etc and loose contact easily)

your going to have to get in touch with him somehow, maybe just keep bombarding him with emails, calls, texts etc until he at least gives you an answer.

so, all i think i can say is good luck really..as this issue he seems to have can only be said by himself, as it could be anything IMO

when i say we shared a house in opur final year, i must note it was with 6 other lads (so 8 of as well so it wasn't just me and him sharing a flat).

mate, i've tried texting and phoing like crazy but he just doesn't respond. its driving me mad.

i can understand it must be annoying you really badly

its just that aside from a personal visit (which as youve said cant happen) theres not a lot else you can do.

i dont beleive that this freind has 'lost his mobile' or whatever other people have suggested..as he would have found a way of telling you by now.

so im out of ideas im afraid

If I were you I'd just give him some time. Perhaps something's happened and he simply doesn't feel like talking to anyone at the moment. Just leave him to make the next move - ie call you back.

It's also possible that you've pissed him off or that he just really doesn't like you any more. In any case, don't harass him with any more calls. :smile:

If I was in that situation I would just giveup trying to call. If he is ignoring you for no reason and is not telling you why, he is being an idiot.
Forget it, and let him come to you if he wants to speak to you. Don't slave away for people who don't seem to give a crap.
