What is the use of asking people out when you are not going to appear eventually? So that you will feel better that you actually did make an effort to ask people out?? So, does it make you feel better even when you are actually not meeting the person face-to-face? I believe I am not the only one who have such experience but I really want to give up on such friendships. I am trying to, but it just keeps coming back. What does it take to really harden myself to such people? So now, whenever the person says to meet up, I will not really take it to heart because I no longer have any expectations to really meet up one day. It is just a facade.
