How long would you hold cookies for a friend?

I'll be honest, I think she is getting your texts but ignoring you and for whatever reason using you for cookie storage. Is she a good friend or just a friend?

Plans often fall through because she claims to have not heard from me or she says she's tired. When we met, we really hit it off, she called me "bestie" from the start, which I found odd but didn't say anything about, although I remained reserved. Things are often about her, likely why she doesn't have many friends. Initially, she was my only friend here, but since then, I've met others who sincerely care about me and I spend time with them. She's introduced me to people she knows, I like them a lot, but it'd be weird to go hang with them and have her there since there's this drift between us.

WTF? Seriously, I don't get her. She's upset that you ate a box... yet still can't find 10 minutes to pick up the others? And what stops HER from sending you texts about it? You bet if I had a friend picking up something for me, I'd be there in less than a week!

That would be the last time I'd do anything for her. Text her and give her a time frame, after which just eat them, seriously.

To answer your question though - I'd text the person when I got back, then I'd probably hold them a couple months, with a reminder every week or something that the cookies are still there...

I honestly don't get some texts she's claimed to have sent - I can't reply to a question she hasn't asked. That's when I get something along the lines of, "I haven't heard from you, so I assume you don't want to hang." I've seen our thread on her phone, sometimes mine come in weird and split up or are delivered late.

You could go the annoying route and text her each day when you get home for the evening "I'll be home for the rest of the evening if you want to come over and get the cookies". Every.single.day.

I love how she threw a guilt trip on you about it, too. Apparently since she won't have *her* cookies she's lost the will to drive even 5 minutes. Tell her to pick her least favorite relative and cut them out this time, or make 2 of them share.

This whole thing cracks me up.

I know, right?! I asked my husband what he thought, said she just sounds disappointed she won't get her cookies, but not mad. If "it's okay" as she said, I would've seen her already. She claims to not play games, I can't help but feel this is one she's playing. I felt guilty for eating them before I got the guilt trip, when I got it, I didn't feel bad anymore because she seemed immature about it. She never said they were for others until that moment, every message up until that point was "four will hit the spot" and "my cookies".

She sounds some people I know that constantly crave attention. As weird as it sounds, she may be keeping them over there so you pay her more attention. There are some red flags from what you have said, for sure.

Yeah, and that's not something I'm into. Wanna hang? Let's do it. Want me to coddle you? Not gonna happen. There are more flags, but it's just gonna turn into a *kitten* session if I air them here.
