<human>: Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?

**The Situation**

We talked 20 times in July.  My past 2 conversations with him, days ago, were painfully awkward and full of silence.  I put my heart and soul into it, and he barely responded.

Two options:

Option A - Call him now.  Diplomatically tell him how I feel.  Break off on good terms and move on.

Option B - Wait a week.  Let things cool off for both of us.  See if we can work it out.  See where it goes.

I lean toward option A.  Since I feel like passion and striking while the iron is hot is the best response for change.

Your thoughts?

**Key Points**

* He's 28/m and I'm 23/m.  We've been friends for 10 years and we've had over a thousand hour-long phone conversations about stupid video game stuff.  I regret that wasted time.

* He was a basement dwelling nerd with no college or job.  No ambitions.  I wasn't a beacon of productivity either but I at least went to college and had goals.

* I knew he was a bad influence for me, but my OCD kept making me choose to call him everyday.

* He woke up suddenly.  Made major life changes.  New friends.  Finally got a job, license and car.

* Now that he has new friends, I'm not as important.  They're a better influence for him anyway.

* He's always been shy but our conversations are becoming even more one-sided and he's even less responsive.  It's painful to talk to him.  We're drifting apart.

* I realize I need to make big changes too.  And the direction I want to go to in my life is different than his.
<bot>: We settled on being friends due to lack of better options in life, but now, after 10 years, I feel its time.
