Nope! My friends are AWESOME!!!

On a serious note, like I said it sounds like she is a liar and very attention needy!
I've had friends like that in the past and wish I hadn't wasted my time.
Get rid!!!

Too extreme Maria?

LOL ohhh dear spidey you are naughty! Made me burst out laughing though

On another note, cheers for the replies all I've decided to get rid and phase her out. If she contacts me i'll ignore her or if im feeling really kind, I'll come up with the silliest, most un-realistic excuse i can think of not to meet i.e. "i need to stay at home cos if i move the earth will collapse into itself" If I see her...well...I'll figure it out at the time

*looks at feet*

I have been that so-called friend.

I found myself making excuses to cancel arrangements: "Sorry, I can't make it tonight, I have to work overtime" (that I'd volunteered for). "Sorry, I was up ridiculously early this morning and I just fell asleep when I got home". And so on.

Each time, I told myself that I just didn't fancy going out that night, but eventually I realised I was deliberately avoiding this person because they were dull and needy.

I knew I had to man up, and deal with the situation.

So I engineered an argument about an unrelated matter, and haven't spoken to them since. There's only so much manning up I can do in one day.

Now, I'm not saying you're dull or needy, but it seems that your so-called friend has no respect for you and will drop you in a heartbeat if she gets a better offer.

My advice would be to respect yourself and lose the leech.

I've got a friend like this, he loves socializing but unfortunately this does mean that he's got lots of people to meet up with during the day so sometimes I go and meet him and he's still with the last bunch and then we're on our way to meet the next bunch!

Annoying, but on the other hand I do sometimes get to meet cool people so maybe I should just shut up.

That reminds me of this sketch taken from Channel 4's Jam: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTGtb...eature=related
