I can’t believe that I’m the only person on the planet to write about friends who have been friends for a very long time and still haven’t gotten together for a dinner.
It seems that this is a common issue for people who have been friends for longer than a few years. You can be friends for no longer than two years, but then the friendship stops, and then it only lasts for two or three years. It’s common for people to stop friends at their mid-point, and then they can’t keep the friendship going for a decade or more.
