Make new friends, but keep the old...
Have you ever had a friend who wanted a friendship with you but you just weren't interested? I have a friend who emails me or ims me on the computer frequently. It makes me uncomfortable because I don't have much in common with her and she tends to have a negative view on life. So I feel bad because I'm not interested in the friendship with her. This situation is ironic because there was a girl I knew in OK with whom I tried to pursue a friendship--but she wasn't interested in me. I really want for everyone to like me, but logically I know that it isn't possible...have you experienced this before? How do you deal with it? I need your wisdom.

Yeah, I've been on both sides of this too. Of course, I'd like to think I am not often on the unwanted friend side. I didn't want to be friends with a woman because of her negativity as well. Which, considering I was living near DC at the time and didn't know another soul in the state, is saying something. It made me feel guilty avoiding her since she seemed so down, but I did it anyway. I would do it again too. I never talked to her about it, I just started avoiding her. Like "Sorry, I'm busy" if she IMs or something. This seems like cheating to me though and if you come up with another way I would like to hear how it goes.
