It happens. Sometimes you make lasting friends out of strangers and casual acquaintances. Sometimes, though, who you thought were your long-time buddies start doing other things and growing apart from you. That's normal and you have to expect it to happen from time to time...because you are also doing it.
Friendships are completely voluntary and spontaneous. Some come and some go.

I'm having the same problem.
I think as long as you are still getting along, and are on talking terms, just keep in touch as much as you can, but don't call about 5 times a day or anything.
My friend and I talk about 3 times a week, we are living 3 hours apart now also. both in college and just have found different paths. I got married, she's still dating,... We talk when we can and don't take the lack of convo to heart. Growing apart is natural. Don't let it get you down. My friend and I used to me together 24/7/365 and after we graduated HS last year things changed fast!

i also have friends that i have grown apart from,but you know what i do, i just try and remember that this is the way life is and i try to keep fresh in my mind the wonderful times that we had together; because you know what i am better becaues i had them as friends and if our journey in life has taken us apart then that is just the way it is. I am comforted because nothing can take the memories of 'us' and our bond back then away from me.
Just remember that this is a part of life and growing up and a part is a part of our journey.

People change as the get older and friendships grow apart. That's how life works.

Invite her out to a movie or do something special. You also have the option of meeting up with her to just talk. Perhaps if you spend more time together, you will grow closer.

Call them if you want to maintain contact. Send a letter or email saying what's up. Sometimes, people just go separate ways. Nothing personal, just things change, people go their separate ways, people change. It happens. Make some new friends.

If you want to revive this friendship then search for a new common bond or interest and build on that. If you don't care to revive the relationship then just let time fade what's left.

Call and tell your friend you want to hang out more. Figure out a date to hang out, something you both like, and when your hanging talk and get to know each other better. Then you guys will become closer and be better friends.

It happens - and maybe you'll work things out and maybe you won't - my best friend and I were on the outs for almost 3 years before we were able to discuss it and forget it!!
