[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 290323, member: 1991"] She could be the yo-yo herself, or she could be turning into a yo-yo after a previous bad experience has made her gun-shy of email friendships. As for the friend who (allegedly) quit correspondi ng once she got into a relationship with a bloke - some women are like that, I find it really annoying too. I had a friend I worked with, we would arrange to meet for lunch every day and just tlak, or go shopping. Northing nailed down, but I did feel she owed me a little honesty and respect. She began seeing a bloke in her office and it was pathetic, when he crooked his finger at her she would drop any plans she had with me because of course for a MAN, a plan with a female friend had to take second place. She would arrange to meet me for lunch and a bit of shopping at the nearby mall, then I would either be left standing or, if I was lucky, I would get a phone call just as I was heading out the door to say she had a better offer. But when he was unavailable, I had to be waiting and ready. She got quite huffy with me if I had made other plans. Why had I not told her? she would whine. Unfortunately, that is not uncommon. A lot of women are like this, it gives the rest of us a bad name. Klmno, I would take things slowly and quietly. Respond if she emails you, don't suggest anything, be friendly but non-committal. That way if and when it fizzles, nobody is to blame except circumstances. And if she picks up and gets friendlier and more genuine, you both will benefit also. But especially these days some people are more capable of friendship at arm's distance. Up close is too personal. Marg [/QUOTE]
