Complicated relationship

Why would a close friend stop talking to you for a long period of time, act abrasive, then give a heartfelt apology (or at least what seems like one) and tell you that you’re a good friend and that they love you only so they can start ignoring you once again?  Does it make the friendship more complicated if one of the friends is a guy and the other is a girl?

If this person is acting this way, I’m wondering if you’re really as close as you think you are. Your question about gender-related complications makes me think there’s more to this story. Roller coasters always make me dizzy, so I avoid them.
