When you try talking to a friend who seemingly ignores you for days at a time and gives no attention back, and overall acts like they
don't want to be your friend anymore. Just like giving water to a
dead plant, the plant will never grow again or give anything back. Hence the name, watering a
dead plant.
girl 1: damn, I was talking to Emily last night and it feels
like I'm watering a
dead plant
girl 2:
ditch him, you shouldn't be friends with someone who doesn't match your energy
