Are we still considered to be good friends?

When we had schooling,i used to ask and eat with him,and we're close friends.I help him a lot,and we attend many activities together,but now we are going to graduate this semester,having too much free time for ourselves.He's tired of job hunting,and addicted to paly online games with the other classmate.What they're talking is about the game they play,but i focus my energy on hunting for a good job.It seems that we've lost our common topics in conversations.Plus,he prefer to eat with that guy and ignore me these days,i don't think we can still be good friends anymore.I need friends who're excellent and i can learn from them,not just addicted to play online games and let go of anything.

Of course you can still be good friends. Why not? Besides, I don't think friendship doesn't end that way. Good friends doesn't have to be together all the time. I think your guy friend is experiencing a stage in his life where he is not serious with his future yet. Maybe he's just taking his time off first and relaxing from the hardships of being a student. I think this is the time for you to help him more rather than abandon him and let go of the friendship you have. Why not think the other way around? Instead of searching for a friend whom you can learn from, search a friend that can learn from you. I think you have the chance for your guy friend to learn from you. Ciao!

ISKAYZ,thanks for your constructive proposal.I shouldn't abandon him when he's losing his way,and i'm supposed to be help of him other than a fair-weather friend to him.Thinking positive is what i have to do,thanks!

Well I'm glad you have accepted my advices. I'm sure your guy friend will be happy if you will help him even if he's not asking for your help. That's what real friends are. Keep posting!
