I think its easier said than done to "find a new friend" when youve been friends for so long. I think what you need to do is give him some time off. Kinda like heat said, go out with your other friends spend some time away from him. dont call him let him call you, and when he does make sure you really want to go out with him. Do this a couple times and in the end you really will know if he is going to stay your friend or not. BUT DONT wait around for him at all, if he blows you off a few times blow him off. Seems to me he wants to be friends but he wants to be friends when its right for HIM, it needs to be right for the both of you. Take care hun and let us know how it goes ok
