My friend says she wants to talk, but when I call or email she takes too long to respond!

Question - (11 October 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 11 October 2009)
A male United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

My friend (who I would love to make my girlfriend) and I have a great relationship. However it is long distance and we can't see each other as often we'd like. Communication has been good. We email each other regularly and when we didn't, we call or text instead.

But I'm a little confused at the moment. When we last saw each other, I thought things could not have been better between us. She was the one who suggested we get together the next time she was in my area (I usually do the suggestions). She was the one who asked me to email her and I made sure to ask her email(she recently changed it).

Well after we parted, I emailed her 3 times. She never responded and I didn't hear from her for 10 days. I decided to call and got her on the line for 30 seconds before she had to go, promising to call me back. We played phone tag, but I never got her on the line again. Anyway I finally got her by email again and we agreed to meet later this week.

I don't want to seem insecure but I think it's only natural if you see someone you like, have a good time and then you don't hear from them for a longer than normal period, to wonder if something is wrong.

My question, when I see her should I be honest and straightforward, ie "I was wondering if you were upset with me? Things seemed so great last time but I haven't heard much from you in the last 2 weeks."

Or should I be more light-hearted and casual, ie "it's good to see you stranger. I know we saw each other just 2 weeks ago but it feels longer and I was beginning to wonder if you were ok."

thanks

A male reader, CaringGuy United Kingdom +, writes (11 October 2009):

Be a little more light hearted. If you go in and confront her, she'll be on the defensive. Gently try to speak to her and see how she's feeling and what's happening. It could be that she knows you fancy her, but she's trying not to lead you on.
