Oddly enough, I had this revelation yesterday when I saw a friend who I was VERY close with.. we hung out all the time, we drove 10 hours to meet her parents, etc.. etc.. and she hasn't called me in 10 years.
After a little bit of thought, the two things I realized were:
1) Most people are less intelligent and/or considerate than me, and likely don't realize they haven't called me.
2) If I really want them as my friend I have to call them, because they're obviously
not going to do it themselves.
I'll probably revisit this thread just to remind myself of these things, but thats the policy I will be following from now on..
