Me and this person have been friends for about five years but have gotten closer over the past year. I am usually the friend they come to when they are having a crisis or need advice such as with relationship troubles or problems at work and home and I am always at the other end of the phone and support them no matter what and they do the same for me. We get along well and they tell me that they can trust me, that I am their loyal friend out of everyone. We text a couple of times a week and work together occasionally.

Whenever I ask to meet outside of a work environment I usually get blown off or ghosted by text. I do not really get it. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong, but they will meet with other friends. It is giving a bit of mixed signals to say I am a loyal friend one minute and then not want to hang out the next. I do not think it is them not trusting or caring because they do check in on me regularly and have been there for me too in tough times. It is just confusing, and I am not sure if it is me.
