Have I lost this friend forever?

You said you were not lovers? Then your post is simply for professional reasons? You shouldn't worry about it. Maybe his sister is really ill, as he said. If you have a written contract regarding your project together, then there is no worry is there? He is bound to honor that contract. If you do not have a written contract, then he has the right to choose another partner for the project and you have no choice but to honor that.

I guess you have something with him. You are part of his traveling. Forget him. He will never response to you anymore.

its just two weeks.... it is not the end of your friendship. may be the person is in some troubleor he is too buzy to catch up with you. i coould not interact with a very close friend of mine for about 5 months. i thought it's all over but we came back to terms things are normal now.

keep up your hope and have faith in the relationship... your friend would get in touch with you...why don't you mail him and see if he responds.

Silver, don't dismay yet, as this may simply be a case of life getting in the way. If his sister is indeed ill, then he could be busy caring for her still and unable to touch base with you. Especially depend on how sick she is and the particular illness, it can be trying, tiresome, and time-consuming to care for an ailing relative. However, it is also possible that he lied and is avoiding you. For this, I have no reason and agree that he should have been honest and told you he didn't want to work together anymore. I attempt to keep faith in people though and give them the benefit of the doubt, so don't fret at this point. It's only just now been two weeks...give him a little more time. Best of luck!:)

Hi!

Don't worry too much about this. he could be having some problems himself and has to deal with them. Also,people come and go. If it happens that somebody came to your life and you're having so much fun together at that time, then make it worthwhile. Afterwards, when he's gone, then you will have some good memories to live with. Give him space. I think you had no serious commitments whatsoever, so practically you have nothing to hold against him. if he writes to you later then great! If not, then accept it. Anyway, I think you value the friendship and that's really good. Don't lose hope. You'll be surprise one day. Good luck and happy mylotting!

Give it a bit of time. It may be that his sister is not doing well, and needs his support and care. You don't say if he's originally from NY, but if he is, you can bet that his time is also taken up by other family members, and old friends too.
If, heaven forbid, she passed away, he would probably be involved with her funeral and taking care of her affairs. Sometimes during stressful times, people don't think much about work or projects.

Why don't you take a pro-active approach and send him an email expressing care and concern for him and his family? Sometimes an indirect approach pays the best dividends. Good luck!

I believe there's a saying that Family or "blood" is thicker than water. so, if her sister is still Ill, i think you should assume that he didn't or not interested in continuing what you two started. My advice is that don't expect too much because friendship now a days doesn't really last that long, they can always change.

Hello honey,
no you have not losed him, may be her sister havent recovered yet, when she will be fine he will come back. he have job here and friend like you too, how can he leave you like that, just dont worry some times illness takes some time to leave you,i wish you very best of luck, so that you can get him as soon as possible,
or you should right him an email regarding to this matter asking him that when will he be coming back home?
are he going to stay there or will be coming back soon???
if you have his number call him and ask him and ask about her sister?? in this way he will feel good so that there is some one out there counting on him to come back
take care of your self
bye bye

Friendships come and go...while it is hard to understand how one is thinking, I wouldn't loose heart over someone who doesn't respect you enough to state the truth in why he is still there, or why he hasn't responded. However, it is also possible that he doesn't want to hurt you by being honest and upfront with you. If he told you that he didn't want to be friends with you again, how would you take it?

Let it go...friends come into our lives for a reason at that time, they leave when there is no longer a reason for them to be there.

I think that maybe you've jumped the gun, so to speak. You're very impatient, maybe his sister really is ill. Maybe his family is taking the front seat in his life right now. Why don't you find other ways to keep busy and maybe in time he'll contact you again.
