I been avoiding my friend since its his Birthday. Right now I really dont have a lot of money and me as well as all my family has been having financial difficulties. My friend knows this. They recently helped me out and did me a favor and gave me a ride home since I got stuck some where.

I know I ow them but I clearly dont have enough money to buy them a gift. Which they already know. They texted me telling me "Hey you never told me happy birthday" but I am avoiding them for this reason. They said they want a Key-blade which is anywhere from 15-45$ depending.

Is it messed up I am avoiding him I seriously dont have no money. As well as that this friend is generally trying to get into my pants even though I asked them nicely to stop touching me and I am totally not interested in helping them cheat on their partner with me. So I generally dont see them all that often anymore.

    At first I would say it wasnt normal to avoid your friend for the reason you gave. It is polite to aknowledge someone birthday even if you cannot give a gift.

    However it is reasonable to avoid them if they keep making sexual advances after you tell them no. Its normal to not want to be around someone who makes unwanted sexual suggestions.

    Oh. Dang. Meant to vote normal because of that last paragraph.
    If you still consider him as a friend then a simple greeting will do. Buying presents isn't an obligation in my opinion.

    If he's just someone you don't care much for then you don't have to do a thing.

    Since they keep trying to touch you even though you told them to stop, I suggest just cutting off contact with them.
