How would I be more closer to her? for example…she text me her phone got wet and she had to repair it and is back now but has to go away until Thursday to visit her sister as she’s about to give birth, and that she’s excited to be getting a niece. Also text her if she has got her niece yet and that I was going to give her the rest of my thanks giving dinner since she had to work and was not doing thanksgiving this year due to work, but I also said I figured having a niece was better so I decided against bringing the dinner over as I thought she gave birth already. She said “Thanks for thinking of me on thanks giving!” and that she has ate a lot lately anyway. But I never got a text from her saying she did not give birth, and I never would get a text saying that as she would be getting excited. I would never have known she’s not got a niece yet due to us not being that close and giving me those details. How do you become THAT friend who she thinks of in those types of moments?

I’ve known her for 11 years through work..so 1/3rd of my life, the newest person on her facebook got an invite from her to an event back when I had facebook, so i’d say THEY are closer then the 2 of us. I’m not sure if we will be anything more then we are? we have known eachother for 11 years and she’s apparently always considered me a friend, although we never hung out at all, text, etc. I’ve been reading about how to improve friendships from that friendships.about.com website but I just can’t see it with this girl after knowing her this long. I think we are as close as we are ever going to get, which seems like nothing much.

It’s all about those small details!
