Dear Paige Sprayberry:

If this guy is your “best friend”- then I hope in the future, you have a way better friend. If you do, then you will know that this one is not a good friend. He is only the best you have, but you can have a better friend than him.

In other words, a friend who criticizes you, telling you, repeatedly, in a disapproving way, that you are “a dude”, is not a good friend. A friend who gives you signals but will not tell you honestly and directly what he feels and intends to do, is not a good friend, or a close friend.

If he was a good, close friend, he wouldn’t just disappear for three days and you wouldn’t be “miserable and tired” in the relationship with him.
