Deciding the best approach was direct and honest communication, I invited my friend out for coffee at a quiet caf\u00e9 where we could talk openly.<\/p>\n<p>Sitting across from each other, with our coffee steaming gently between us, I gathered my thoughts and expressed how I felt. \u201cI really appreciate our friendship and all the fun we have together,\u201d I began, \u201cbut I\u2019ve been feeling a bit overwhelmed by how much time we\u2019ve been spending together.
