Why do you leave a friend? I made a lot of friends here on italki. We all had a great time at the beginning. I remember that everything was so good and I was so happy to talk with my friends. Then it always ends after a week or even a few days, a few times of talking! We were still happy and laugh a lot at the last time. And then they are just in silence! I had waited for a while, then I sent them messages but they only answered in an unwillingly way :"yes", "no","ok"... After 3 or 4 times like that, I gave up. I know that they don't want to talk with me more... I also know that you can easily make new friends on social network, and then when you don't feel interested in them, you can easily leave them! But I still feel an empty place in my heart after a friend left me... I remember all the good memory...and really miss the time we were together. Have you ever just left an online friend without any trouble with him/her? Then why?

I just started here, I'll see if something similar happens to what you've described. Don't get it too personal tho, there are things that are much worse than losing an italki language partner.

Well that's how everything works, isn't it? Imagine the opposite is true, that you never lose your friends and acquaintances. Soon you'll accumulate so many friends you won't be able to manage or remember them. That's not what you want. It is a blessing that they come and go. And a few of them will probably to stick around for a long time. That's all you need.

The same thing happens to me , it is so exiting at the beginning but later it goes down . i think may be because we feel exited to learn from the others and we feel like we want to know about them . Then later find that we have taled about things that intertest us but we got nothing more to talk about . but with language partner i thing it might go so longer .

because actually there is no =friends= in social network you can call them "friends" if you want but they're not anyway how it is possible think you are friends with someone after a few days talking online?? sometimes after a week it's getting boring to speak with someone and no one should make himself do it further without a wish to do it you wrote there is an empty space in your heart - so this is the reason it has nothing to do with these people who you don't even know

Yeah. It happens, sucks but if they don't have time for you, what can you do other than move on? Luckily there are always people who will keep talking with you, month after month, you just have to go through a lot of these short term ones to find them.
