Friend advice

    I'd be very grateful if someone could give me some advice on this.

    I started to become friends with someone about two years ago. We hung out quite a bit for two or three months and we got along fairly well during this time. However as I got to know them, I noticed that I didn't have as much in common with them as I thought. I also found that they were quite needy so I didn't want to pursue the friendship any further. As we'd only known each other for a short time, I thought it would just fizzle out. We stopped meeting up as much and I now haven't met them in a year and a bit.

    Since then, I've been deliberately vague any time they've been in contact suggesting to meet up. A few months might go by and just when I think that I won't hear from them again, they get in contact. They normally text but they've just emailed me asking why I'm never in touch and whether they've done something wrong. Although they haven't done anything per se, I just don't have any interest in hanging out with them. Naturally this isn't something I can say them so I don't know what to do. I feel I should respond to their email out of courtesy but I'm not really sure what to say, or whether I should just ignore it. I've never tried to cut contact with or phase someone out before so I'm at a loss as to what to do next. I would have thought that all things considered, the whole thing would have just been forgotten about by now :-(

    Your help is very much appreciated.
