so a recently had a chat with one of my best friends


this was the discussion


friend: we aren't super close anymore...

friend: actually, we are still pretty close.

friend: but maybe about 15% less...

me: um what? well, i guess that isn't bad, 15% isn't like a huge dent or anything

friend: well, maybe 30%

me: um, i hope you don't mean that :( :confused:

friend: it depends, its like 15-30% depending on the situation and how i feel at the time.

me: .....k


what do you guys make of that...

is that friend pushing me away or something, i mean, i don't know what to think.

i must've been the only one to think this would be a maths thread...

but lol the friend is simply making a statement/measure of the closeness of your friendship - they probably want that to change for the better.

Bizarre measure of friendship.

But it just sounds like you guys, like pretty much everyone I know, are probably growing apart somewhat. Ask him what he means by the percentages anyways. Is 100% close the two of you being around each other 24/7?

Is your friend female? Cause its something a girl would say.

She obviously needs more commitment. Stop playing around and give her the dam ring already.

she shouldn't be your friend if she calculated your friendship as a percentage. dump the bitch nerd and move on.

Maybe they think ur a dick for posting private conversations for the whole world to read and discuss. U have no loyalty and, depending on the length of the alliance, that will almost certainly end the frail peace with catholic france and spain, send the broody russians hostile and in a mind to cancel trade agreements and compel you to spend thousands of pounds pacifying the dutch, prussians, austrians and maratha confederacy from quitting the alliance

It's weird to put numbers on a friendship..
imho they are trying to say that you're not best mates anymore..slowly drifting apart. Bit of a cowardish way to say it.

EDIT:

(("friend: it depends, its like 15-30% depending on the situation and how i feel at the time."

dunno wtf that means.))

Bizzare...
My guess : You've somehow hurt her feelings and she doesn't want to tell you that outright, but is hoping that you will work it out by realising that you are 70% less close than what you once were.
She sounds very young Hiphop =D
