Dear Queenie,
I used to have lunch every day with a friend at work, but recently he has been ignoring me and talking to someone else who is known for having lots of “friends”. He says he wants us to still be friends, but he is destroying our friendship.
Queenie, how can I keep on being friends with him?—Worried friend
Dear Friend,
Is your friend aware of his new friend’s reputation? You can mention your concern for him, but then let it go. Apparently he is willing to take a chance on being hurt and if you press the matter you may be the one he ends things with. Maybe it is time you also looked for other friendships.
