Several months ago (probably back in Nov), my friend and I had been exchanging emails back and forth. Then she just stopped emailing me. The emails had been very pleasant, just general things about career, family, etc. I called and emailed her once or twice in the following months just to say hi but no response. (Her phone and email are active). I considered her one of my friends (not like a best/close friend nor just an acquaintance).
I haven't really given much thought about her for a long time but the other day, I ran into a mutual acquaintance of ours (they keep in touch via email) and found out that my friend is moving across the country in a couple months. That mutual friend was surprised that I didn't know about her move and that we didn't really keep in touch. The mutual friend thought we were good friends...which made me think about our friendship. Why did we drift apart? There was no reason on my side. So, should I email her? I guess, I feel kind of awkward.

yeah you got nothing to lose if you email her you got more to lose if you dont! just email her to say hi! and just say u heard she was moving away and that u wished her the best of luck and just check that you hadnt said anything in an email that had upset her of anything as there could have been a variety of reasons she didnt email back.

I wouldn't take it too personally. I love my friends dearly, but I don't email them or call them even once a week sometimes. Between kids, job, home business, volunteer work, church, laundry etc etc I just don't have the time to catch up all the time. I am always glad to hear from them though and try to reciprocate. It probably isn't about you at all- but if it concerns you I think you should ask if you've done something to upset them. Some people are just not as "close" as you are. Hope it all works out.

Ask her. Maybe she has just been really busy. I would think that to be the case if she is moving across the country. Don't feel awkward. Ask her why the drift in the relationship and let her know that you would like the relationship to continue. If there is a problem, that would give her an opportunity to speak up.

My suggestion to you in this matter is that, I think you should email her, and also ask her to kindly reply back.
It's better that you give it a go, then to have it on your conscience, and thinking about it.
If she replies back to you, do ask her in your next email, as to why she had not replied your earlier email.
could be she was busy at the time, and thought she would get back to you later, but sometimes things just slip out of a person's mind, and could be she forgot about it.
In these kind of situations, it's better that you just go for it. At least you are doing the right thing on your part. the rest is up to the other person.

Yeah, e-mail her back! I have a friend in Cali, and Im in Texas, and we e-mail each other back and forth a lot. But sometimes, it will be a month or two when one or the other can't e-mail the other one back. The other one still sends the other one e-mails, and just understands that it is sometimes hard for people to remember to e-mail the other one back and it might take a while. Id rather e-mail them and see that it was just them being to busy to e-mail me back right away, than to not e-mail them, and then them think that I dont really want to stay in contact either.
I say go for it! :)

It seems like a no-brainer to me. Send her an email.
People let their egos clash too much. Unless she told you not to ever communicate with her, you should keep up the communication forever. She probably likes your emails, but is just busy or not into email.
Even better--call her.

Sure why not. If you care, send the email. Something may have been upsetting her (nothing on your part) that kept her from keeping in touch. But don't do it if you feel like you'd be disrespecting yourself if you do. Good luck....

Yeah, sure, why not. Maybe she read your email last time and didn't get a chance to reply and then completely forgot about it because she's been really busy and stuff.

I think you should email her back but really be kind of vague if you want to talk about anything but more importantly be honest

If you want to try one more time, fine. Just say, I heard you were moving, good luck. Keep it short and to the point. If she doesn't answer this one, I'd call it quits.
