I don't think any of us know your situation... Just try to figure out what your goals are here and act accordingly.

Exactly - I would only add, though, that I would think long and hard about any confrontation. Most people in your friend's situation would probably call and text less as the distance grew more apparent.
It's a tough situation; I had a similar situation with my childhood best friend. Unfortunately, things ended up coming to a head when I made him best man for my wedding (he flaked out and ended up begging out of the position a month before the wedding). It's hard, though, when there's no one confrontation, but just a slow realization that you're not really friends anymore.
