maintaining friendship

Well, one of my few friends used to show interest in talking to me all the time... but now, not so much. She'd always be the one coming to me to talk for the most part, rather than the other way around and I always appreciated her company. Now it seems like she just doesn't really care as much anymore, and my gestures to maintain the friendship seem somewhat useless.
Any suggestions?

are you trying to talk to her? is she just not responding to you or skipping your calls?? or overall when you do talk to her she just seems distant??

That is life....seriously.
As you get older, friends change, you change, what you have in common changes....sometimes friendships just disolve...it's perfectly normal.

You need to simply have a talk with your friend to get a better view of how much she values the friendship.. that should give you a better clue as to what shes thinking. Keep in mind that it's very normal for friendships to come and go in life. Good luck.

Maybe she got tired of always having to be the one to initiate things, thought she'd let you do it for once and you just never stepped up (or didn't do it soon enough)

I have a friend that I used to share a pretty equal friendship with, then at some point things seemed to change where I was the one that was always having to put in the effort to make time and adjust my schedule for us to hang out. I finally got fed up with having to be the initiator of everything so I just stopped. It's been about 5 or 6 weeks since I've heard from her. No call, no e-mails, no IMs, no comments on facebook. If she were to call me now I'm not even sure I would pick up... sometimes friendships fade, that's just life!
