I think you may have heard of them from viral Tiktok videos, basically the boyfriend or girlfriend enlisting an attractive friend to seduce their significant others to test their loyalties. Also, mafias have rituals for new recruits to do something they don't want to do in order to prove their loyalties. How do you tell whether someone is testing your loyalty? And how do you usually deal with it, minimizing the repercussions?

Quantity does matter to prepare for friendships to die. I mean, everything has its own expiration date, right?

But if I hustled to fill more potential friendships in the pipeline, just cutting losses wouldn't be as big of an issue, right?

or block them and toss them into the trash pile and act like strangers if meeting in person by accident?

I know, this depends on how long I have known the friend/acquaintance to the context with which I know him/her, and how much effort each party has put in to keep the relationship going. Also depends on the stuff going on with significant others, children, family, work, etc. That being said, with either the fade outs, fall outs, and just life getting in the way, I would like to rid of some deadweights on my rolodex. I may sound oversimplistic or presumptuous, but if the friend/acquaintance doesn't respond to a request to talk or hang out (even if it's a declinal), is it fair to conclude that the relationship has sailed past its expiration either with them having blocked me already, or leaving me left on read to send such a message to me? Would love to hear from you so that I can sift sort and screen faster in the future.
