Relationships are all about giving and getting. If one party makes accommodations for you. They go out of their way to make sure that you are happy, have experiences as a Friend they expect you to at least attempt to do the same. Nobody likes to give and not get in return. It's unfair, especially when the relationship is supposed to be an equal one.

It gets really tired when someone attempts to go out of their way to do things, and the other person just knocks them down. Failed attempts are not just disappointing but disrespectful of the relationship. The same way you expect your friend/boyfriend/girlfriend/mother/father to be good to you, you have to be good to them. That's what relationships are all about. Good ones. Healthy ones.

It's about the sacrifices made. And people appreciating that you made that sacrifice and wanting to return the favour because they know you will sacrifice for them as a friend. So if you realize one day that nobody wants to do anything for you just because, cause they would be people who want to do because they want something, it's probably because you had no respect for the relationship they were in with you!!
