20 male
A couple years ago I had a friend (male, mid 20s) who lied through his teeth to gain my trust and sympathy, etc. I was extremely hurt when I started to pull apart his lies and realize how much of his perfectly nice personality was an act. Our friendship slowly faded as I lost interest in having one and I departed for college and so forth. Now... coming on three years later or so... he's trying to get in touch and bring back what we had. I have nothing against conversing with him online from time to time... but I'm not interested in calling him up or seeing him when I'm in my home area. I really don't want to bring up old garbage and have never actually confronted him about all the things I discovered were lies. I don't want to be mean to him... I just don't want to be his friend either. What do I do now that he's obviously trying to become friends again?
