My buddy is ignoring me

I wanted to ask you guys for some advice.

I've known this friend of mine for some time (like 6-7 years). Anyway, we've never been super close, but we've always kept up with one another, etc. Lately this group of friends that we hung out with kind of drifted apart due to kids, etc. I sent out a message that we should get back together and hang out and he was all for it. So all of us got together again and hung out a few times.

But then this week he started acting really weird. As guys will do, we bust chops a lot. Now, I don't know if he was ragging out this week or what, but he got his panties in a bunch and told myself and another one of our friends to stop contacting him. Since we are guys, we started busting his chops harder. And then today, he blocked my phone number.

He claims he blocked me and my other buddy because he's too busy with life and has to focus on those other things (now, mind you - the other guys in the group have the same shit going on yet are able to work out some life balance, so he's not facing anything anyone else hasn't before).

He says life is too busy for him to hang out with us. But here's the thing - I know for a fact he's wasting time with some other "friends" of his, so I call bullshit on his being too busy and having too much stuff going on with his life.

What do you guys think, should I email him or reach out to him on Facebook?

Les fuuuuuck

facebook?

I thought you were a dude all this time?

Can I still be your friend?

Something else that is worth mentioning - this dude used to say some of the most fucked up shit to us in the group. At the end of the day we're all fucking around so it's no big deal, but it was really shocking to see the dude that threw some of the biggest heat at others refuse to take any himself. Can you guys give me any advice on how to bring that up in a way that won't necessitate him having to go to CVS to get some pads or tampons?

Here's some advice...

Get over it. Go out with somebody else.

He sounds like a bitch

Anybody have $20 they can lend me?

Aren't you moving to Alabama anyway? You planning on taking all your friends with you?

Unless he's moving to Alabama I don't know what the big deal is.

Edit for damn I type to slow with my thumbs

I don't think me moving is really the point. As this juncture, the dude doesn't even want to talk to me. I find that mind boggling. We've had some great times together. Hell, we even hung out at the Rose Bowl. I just want to know how a dude can do a 180 so quickly. Do you think his wife or someone else is influencing him?

Sounds like he's trying to be a better man and that involves cutting loose some dead wood.

Use facebook to figure it out. Keep us updated!

Maybe its a defense mechanism on his part, so you won't have to see him shed tears when you move.

I dunno, you have thousands of posts on a message board that is just months old. Maybe posting a bunch can help me solve this problem - what do you think?

He's not happy w the wood Forbins providing.

Don't know his situation but I cut a few friends out of my life when we had our first child. They were single and going out a lot, I couldn't really do that anymore. Now they all have kids and we've kinda reconnected, but it will never be the same as it was back in our 20's. Life happens bro.

The problem of you acting like a woman?

Are these friends male?

Any problem, really. I just figured since you seem to dedicate such a massive portion of your life to posting on a message board, you might know if problems can be solved here.

He caught you making eyes at his daughter, didn't he. Yeah.  We know. She's only 5.

Is Malibu Man back and I'm just in the 10% to this cross-referenced thread??

He's just not that into you.

Well, I haven't reached the lofty status of being a mod on a message board like yourself, so I've still got some work to do.

As far as this particular problem that you seem to having, I have addressed it a few times. Maybe, in your role as mod, you've learned not to actually read posts and just pretend you're a bad ass.

So, again...stop acting like a woman. That is how your problem will be solved.

You're welcome.

Interesting, because you seem to enjoy your secretary status on this board.

I'd unfriend you, too, if you were moving to Alabama.

1.  Learn how to use the quote button.
B.  Not really.  It's a pain in the ass.  It's not like I can ban people whenever the hell and for whatever the hell I want to...you know, like your "friends" do.
4. Spend some more time working on your analogies too.

Send him a silly card and stuff a couple handmade "Good For One Free Backrub" coupons in there or some shit like that.

If he doesn't get back to you, demand his friendship bracelet back.

Do you want me to talk to him? I'm his best friend. We talk everyday.

I understand people not wanting to chill or even talk. But to block a number? That seems quite petty and high school girl-ish. Maybe you did something wrong on your end?

Sup, Forbin! You guys need to f*ck it out. You know you love each other.

BTW, you should spend more time here on tSwill.

You can't just cut people out of your life like that.

This situation sets up the scene of a tent and campfire and the words "I can't quit you."

Trevor...?

Can't be Trevor. Forbin wouldn't be that much of a pussy that he would call him out in an elaborate analogy on a different message board.

So this is a parody thread, right? Love those things. Where's the original, so I can get in on the joke and enjoy the fun?

This isn't a tRCMB/tSwill thing is it? Please don't be, that shit's annoying.

You wouldn't understand.
