Send to a Friend

I approached my friend about my frustration with our friendship, but she refused to talk about it, what should I do?

I approached my friend about a problem I have been having…the problem being that she leaves no room for joint decision making. When we hang out we always have to do what she wants, or I have to part ways. This goes for practically everything, including where we eat and where we drink.
Sometimes I feel as though perhaps I am being too needy and I don’t want to cause drama, so I should just go along with the flow, but finally I was fed up with it. I ended up at a place that I had clearly said I didn’t want to go to, and she said that we would only meet there, and when me and other people wanted to leave, she got very upset. It came to fruition that I wasn’t the only person feeling this same way…
Anyway, so I tried to talk to her about it, and she said she didn’t want to talk about it and it was bad timing, which I understood. She told me that we would talk about it the next day, but never put in the effort to even call me and tell me she wasn’t going to actually do that. I knew she was full of it, but wanted to believe that she would come through.
Now, I don’t know what to do? I feel like giving up…perhaps it is premature to give up, but I can’t handle the unbalanced friendship anymore.
