Do you keep in contact with those you met on maple?

I have no idea where I'm going with this thread tbh, I just want some other peoples thoughts.

So I met this girl on maple 3-4 years ago, I like her and we had a lot of great times of maple. But now we don't really talk, she's 18 hours behind me and is back at uni now doing her 4.5 year course. I miss talking to her but it's just awkward silences or conversations that die quick when I talk to her first on Face book/Maple and she never talks to me.

What would you do in you were in the same situation?

half the people I know on maple I know in real life. We kept together but that was like 10 years ago.(or however long when pirates came out ago...)

Since then a lot of people as well as myself moved to different places, not just neighborhoods, but entire states and even countries(I myself am in the military). So, half of those half people I know in real life I'm still keeping up with.

I have a couple on Facebook but I only talk to one on a daily basis. We had an online relationship and then broke up because of real life then stopped talking for like 4 years and we reconnected 2 years ago and now we're like best friends.

Sadly no. It's sad because we had so many good times that my irl friends pale in comparison, even after i havent contacted my maple friend in so long

What's the point?
Most of the people I've added and guilds I've joined were gone in a few weeks.

Lost contact with all of my Maple friends many years ago. I used to have friends who wouldn't talk to me as much (I would always have to be the one to start the conversation) and the conversations usually die quickly, similar to your situation. I cut those people out of my life and stopped talking to them. In your case, she probably doesn't have the time to talk to you or she doesn't prefer to keep in contact with strangers from a video game. I had a real life friend in Middle School and we used to be tight once upon a time. After a few years, he moved to a different part of the country and we started talking less and less. Now, the only time I speak to him is if I start the conversation. So I stopped messaging him. So screw that and just move on with life.

I keep in contact with some friends out of maple, some have my number or my Skype. As for the ones who quit, we just play Steam games when we can (^:

hm, thank you all for your intriguing feedback, I guess if that's the way I should let it be but it's a shame there's not that many people like her on maple anymore.

But by all means feel free to continue posting your comment/thoughts.

no i keep it strictly maple related. i dont go off topic. it is quite annoying when someone starts talking about their personally life mid Ursus run

I think you guys have probably lost interest...and just drifted; due to everyday life and it happens tbh i'd leave it be sometimes you just cant force things....but i stay in contact with a few guild buddies via skype chat as we have a group others i talk to here and there but when we get the chance we can go on for hours lol

nope, i don't talk to anyone. she's over you man. or maybe she's just really busy and doesn't have time for you anymore.

I cut off my ties with most of them because I just couldn't keep up. IRL is more important than Maple life. There's a few that I have on Snapchat, Instagram, and Facebook, but we don't talk.

stop longing for someone who doesn't see you and move onto someone who will

A handful of guildies and those I have on FB
Edit: Regarding your current circumstance, I'd say let her go. She's going through an exciting chapter of her life and, to be very honest, she doesn't have time to talk to someone she doesn't know irl (unless she has feelings for you, but doesn't seem so if it's awkward now).

she is not interested in you as a person anymore i think

if conversations die quick then it is because she is putting in no effort

if you always speak first that's even worse
