....... is it proper to wait until they approach you to rekindle the friendship? Or after four months of complete distance..... would it be ok to contact them and explain changes you've tried to make in your life in hopes of finding a way back to friendship?

Depends on ones definition of friendship.
Over lo these many years I've accumulated legions of associates, scores of acquaintances and rotting piles of lovers. But of true friends I've had, and retain, but few. And a few, Hell even one, is all a soul really needs.
The mere fact that you approach renewed contact with trepidation is telling: if these "friends" are indeed Friends, no battlefield strategy for re-connecting is required. A phone call, a note, a smoke-signal that states "I'm out of my sh*t now, and I'd really like to talk" should be all that's necessary.
Good luck.

Absolutely, if you have been close friends with someone time and distance don't matter. I have had good old friends haven't spoken to in years and hooked up again and it was just like we saw each other yesterday. It is never too late to rekindle a friendship and it's also a good way of finding out who your true friends really are :) or in this case were.

This is so femalish to wait for the other one to make a move!LOL Listen precious, if you want something out of someone whether it's love, friendship, or maybe even just sex, all you had to do is ask!LMAO...Seriously, sometimes it's better to be the making the move yourself cause maybe the other person is waiting for you, and you are waiting for them...! Communicate your feelings & intentions and the person will appreciate it and tell you what time it is...As easy as that! Good lunch! I mean luck!LOL

After 4 months I would probably drop a line and ask how they were doing. It would be up to them to connect if that is what they truly desire.
And sometimes it's better to just leave things as they are, especially if after 4 months no effort has been made on their part to connect again.
I guess that didn't really answer your question. I think only you know the answer to that one as you know the person better than any of us.

I think if you really consider this person a dear friend, go ahead and contact them. What have you got to lose? Would you regret it if you didn't do it later on in your life? Just make it short and sweet. Then know you did your part to open the door to communicate and see what happens. Godloveya.

You will punish me for doodling? Oh, punish me mistress, punish me. Take the proverbial bull by the horns (much better than by that other part of its anatomy) and contact them. How else will you know if things have changed? Four months is a long enough cooling off period. It reminds me of the lyrics to the song, "In the Living Years." Who knows how many tomorrows we have left.

If they said that they needed space then they placed themselves in the position of having to make to effort to reconnect; as tempting as it is for you to want to make contact, I would say leave it to them
