Posted By: Surfer Dude Category: Friend Issue FIGHT DETAIL I have a great in-ground pool in my back yard. Cover it in the winter and open it in the summer. I have this buddy, not a friend, that never wants to get together or party with me during the winter but starts calling me when summer arrives. We live in the same community, are in two classes together and run into each other frequently. My brother and girlfriend think that the pool is the only level oif friendship he wants. Maybe so, but I am tired of making excuses as to why he and his girlfriend are not welcome. I want to tell him that I put the first hand out there for friendship and he did not return the favor. Now that summer is here, I do not want the friend that can't give me the time of day in the winter. What do you think? My issue is that Tracer does no want to be a friend until the pool opens. Then there are calls about coming over and partying with me and my other friends. This has been occuring over the last three years.

He's neither a buddy or a "friend". He's just a neighborhood leech who found an easy mark to hit up. Tell him you've started a new pool maintenance regimen which requires different chemicals and the amount depends on how much the pool is used. Therefore, you now have to start charging people for using your pool or will have to close it down for most of the summer. Then charge this jerk to use the pool. You never know. He just might be stupid enough to pay!

He could have a valid reason but you'll never know until you ask. As others have said, if he doesn't have a good reason, I definitely wouldn't continue to be friends with him.

Then drown him. Then leave his body in the pool as a flotation device thus eliminating the need to explain yourself or drain the pool from freezing over when winter rolls back around. P.S.(The Bigger Picture) Is that he'll still be there for you to party with this winter!

That way it will make him think twice befor "inviting" himself to your home. Tell him everyone else is bringing something. I did that with my father in law, requested he bring food or drinks to help out, and it really made a difference. He sounds like a fair weather friend...good luck!

Certainly don't talk to him during the winter.

Let him know what you what a terrible friend he is only wanting to hang out in the summer. Cuz he's just using you for the pool parties.

You are 100% right. If he does not make any attempt in the winter you need to lose him.
