A friendship slowly slipping away

I've just finished my first year of uni, and have had the odd text contact with one of my best friends from school. We were really good friends at school. But throughout the year he hardly ever contacted me. I was the one who texted him, would write on his wall or begin the msn conversation.

There are several things that make me feel that he no longer wants to be friend. Firstly he has recently blocked me from seeing his wall on facebook and a few other things on there. Secondly he has moved houses and I found this out through another friend of ours - he would definitely have told me about this if we were friends like at school.

I think I'm going to find out for sure whether he wants to remain friends or not but asking to meet up. If he declines I'll take that as the end of it all.

Ok so my question: given what I've mentioned above is it correct to go about they way I intend? Also bear in mind that I would certainly prefer to stay friends.

Thanks guys
absolutly!
Its a shame however, that close friendships do slowly deteriorate after time :frown:
The way he is behaving is appalling, not worth it
Well all I can say is I know how it feels, it's not nice but at the end of the day if he wants to be pathetic like that then you deserve better friends.

I think you know deep down he isn't interested anymore, ashame as you sound like a good friend. I wouldn't even bother contacting him as it probably boosts his ego having you 'after' him, if he's interested he will contact you. I had this with some school 'friends' they moved away and made new friends. Concentrate on the friends who are there for you :smile:

Most people at school and college are only friendly because they are stuck with each other for years. I only left College a couple of months ago and my number of regular friends has gone from about 40 or 50 to probably less than 10. I knew that was going to happen, though, it always does. You're better off making new friends, who are more likely to share the same interests as you.

well I guess many people think that uni is a time to move on, and they forget about their old friends in no time.
One of my (supposed) best friends in school started hanging out with the 'cool' crowd and just started ignoring me for no reason. She even (indirectly) told me that she did not want me around anymore! So I can sort of understand how it feels.
