It's been a while since I've been on here, but I could use some advice...

Hello everybody. It has been about a couple years since I last posted on this board. But I remember when I used to come here that everybody often gave good advice. So I'll explain my situation, and if anybody has any advice it would be really appreciated.

I have this friend who I consider to be my only true friend. I'm a guy and she's a girl. We're both 18. Just to be clear, we are just friends, and both of us want to keep it that way. But anyway, she's my only friend that I keep in close contact with. She knows more about me than anybody else in the world. But the thing is, I don't think she cares about being my friend as much as I care about being hers. Whenever I get an email from her, I always write back within a day. But with her, it often takes her way longer, sometimes 2-3 weeks. It makes me feel awful and unwanted. I don't want to call her if she doesn't want to talk to me at that time, which I'm guessing is the case. Whenever she does write back, it is always the highlight of my day. I've tried everything to try to become closer friends. I send her postcards when I go on vacation. I spend hours designing her cards in MS Publisher whenever she has an important event. I always tell her how much her friendship means to me. I'm even going to mail her a box of gifts from WDW next month.

I just wish there was a way that I could get to talk to her more often. She means the world to me. We're both in college, but we go to different colleges; meaning I can't hang out with her. And recently I've been really depressed, which makes a bad situation seem even worse. I often feel like crying over the whole situation.

Any advice? I could give more info if needed. Thanks.
