"As Andrew's World Turns!" Such drama over nothing! You're getting in touch with this girl because you remember how much you liked her when you were six years old and, because you remember her so vividly you expect she should remember you too? You say it seems from her profile that she likes drinking and partying and you don't, she's already knocked you down once because she doesn't have a clue who you are. And now you want some constructive criticism on creative writing?
Do try and get a life, Andrew, and get out of the cramped box you've created.
thanks for ur advice, i appreciate it. I will try to once i have got this out of my system.
ok people. Well it was going well.....until she brought my family up. At first she just asked if i still talked to them, i gave her a simple answer. Then she asked me when was the last time i saw them, i gave her a simple answer. Then she said ''well your cousins are on here, why dont you friend request them.'' I dont know what to say, i dont want to speak to them but she keeps on pushing things it seems. At the back of my mind i am thinking that she is losing interest in me so she is looking to pass me onto her cousins. So i havent sent her a message back yet....and i dont know if i am going to.
This is where you tell her your family had a falling out with your uncle's family and leave it at that. She'll decide if she wants to continue talking to you. Either way, you haven't lost anything.

''Ok here is the thing, it is difficult to talk about my dads side of the family.
My family had a falling out with my dads side of the family- but all i can say is that my loyalty is with my dad. Always. I only signed up for this website to talk to you again, i didnt think that anyone else would factor into it. At the same time I dont want to put you in a difficult situation by talking to me, and if you think that this is crossing the line and that it will cause you to fall out with someone and that you cant talk to me because of this- then i will understand.''
thank you.

Right idea but too much information in my opinion. Here's what I would have wrote:
''Ok here is the thing, it is difficult to talk about my dads side of the family, because my family had a falling out with them. I remember enjoying our conversations in the past, so I signed up on this website to talk to you again. If this puts you in a difficult situation, I'll understand if you wish to unfriend me.''
Personally, I'd unfriend you just for the way you wrote that reply. It was too long and repeated information.
I think he did the right thing, because if she is to befriend him, he can't be giving her one-liners. Obviously she needs information to make an assesment of him.
ok- i sent what i wrote and she gave me this reply:
''Don't worry bout crossing the line,its cool.whatever the issue is or was it has nothin to do with me....yes they are my family,and yours! But at the end of the day like I said it's not my issue! X it's a shame tho...(no offence) I actually don't even know what happened there!
It amazes me how yu remember me and my family as yu were a baby...good memory...Where do you live now? Do you have a girlfriend?''
ughh, now she asks me if i want her to tell my aunt and cousins that she is in contact with me? rolls eyes.noooo. If i told her that i have fallen out with my family, why would i want her to go back and tell them that we are in contact with eachother??
How can i tell her that i dont think that is a good idea in a polite way? How do i know if she has not already told them anyways, and she wants to see how i react to this question so that she can go back and tell them?
