    Don't hold your breath

    You're not going to get a check. It's time to let it go. Not everyone can be the type of friend you'd like them to be. He's fun at a party - if he chooses to show up. Enjoy what he is but stop expecting him to be more. And never count on him for anything, not even bringing you a beer back from the bar!

    —Dnace
