Do any of you guys have friends that are horrible about calling you back? I mean there is this guy I know who I've been friends with for something like ... 14 years (roughly 2/3rds of my life) .... pretty much gone to school with him for those 14 years as well. And just recently he's been really horrible about calling back (not just me, a lot of his friends) ... obviously he is a good friend and I can't think of any reason he'd be mad at any of us but I wish there was some way to get it through to him that he has to try to keep in contact with us.
Friend's who never call

i rarely call my friends on the phone, dont be such a women, if you have a problem just tell him and then punch him. the problem will be solved.
I would punch him except he is about 400 miles away from me right now. We grew up and went to the same Elementary, Junior HIgh, High School together. He even lived in the same town as me during my undergrad years (at glorious UC Berkeley). He just went home a few months ago and all of a sudden he's vanished. I've sent him e-mails, called him ... two weeks ago I hired a dwarf to deliver a singing telegram. Last sunday I got the messengers dismembered head sent to my via UPS (he obviously knows how much I hate UPS). And it's not just me ..... two of my other friends have been noticing how he hasn't called them back in weeks (those two friends are both in Southern California like my friend)
Actually yeah, I'm feeling like all bloated and stuff. And like the other day I went to the mall and like they were out of my lip gloss color and I was like 'WTF' and like ... wait a minute I'm a guy. *scratches groin furiously and drinks a beer before realizing that is 10:45 in the morning and I don't like beer*
Edit -- Would you stop calling me a woman if I said he owed me money.

My best friend went to another school right across the river from me in Boston. He was so close I could see his dorm room but in my 4 years of college I probably saw him 4 times including the time I accidentally bumped into him at a club.
Now that we are older, we talk alot more now. I think there are alot of distractions when you are in college. If he's been your friend this long, I'm sure he'll be your friend for life.
BTW: My 4 best and most active friends that I've known for my than 1/2 my life are my HS friends.

Yeah, really. Don't complain about it to the buddy either. Or he'll say that you used to not be a woman.
I rarely (if ever) call my friends (the few that I have), they know that I'm that way and only one (female) has a problem with that. They know me, that's what makes them friends. They understand. I've never made a social call to my brother..ever. I guess we don't like each other or something.
I know exactly what you mean. Although in my case if they don't have the balls to call me back or e-mail I just cut them off (my friends, not their balls). Take for instance my one buddy from a few years back. He was actually one of my best friends and we did tons of stuff together. We'd blow time at the mall and play games online contantly (if it had a co-op mode, we played it). Well one day he decides he wants to join the military and he moves away, so I figure since I'll probably never see him again and I'll just keep in contact through e-mail. That worked alright in the beginning but then he started to "forget" to write back to me or he'd be too "busy". I had to e-mail him countless times before he would finally respond. Then about 7 or 8 months ago he just stopped answering my e-mails completely so I decided that he wasn't worth my time. I haven't heard from him for almost a year now and frankly I don't really care. Oh yeah, he had a woman from before I met him so that had nothing to do with it.
Now for exhibit 2, my other friend. We were pretty tight as well. We shared similar interests and we even travelled similar paths in life (school, work, career goals, etc...). For a while we would see each other just about once or twice a week and we would just hang out, play video games, watch movies, etc... and this went on for a good while. Now for the past couple years he's been nearly impossible to get a hold of. He flat out ignores or doesn't respond to my e-mails, and any time I do manage to get a hold of him and make plans he blows me off at the last minute and wants to reschedule. Of course whenever I do try to reschedule nine times out of ten he'll just ignore the e-mail. It's not just me he does this to either, he does the same thing to my sister (they were real good friends first and then I met him afterwards).
It appears that he doesn't have any urge to communicate with my family so I say screw him. I'll probably try a couple more times to get a hold of him and if he still blows me off then I'll drop him completely. If he doesn't want to hang out with me then that's fine by me, just be a man about it and tell me. Don't act like a woman and give me the silent treatment.
it could be that he's adjusting to life down in southern california and has a lot of concerns on his mind that don't necessarily involve you... he'll probably make contact when he feels secure enough where he is, but i wouldn't expect too much from him yet.
you're all women...only women worry about crap like this...you keep in touch or you don't...no need to grow boobs over it.
