friend issues

I have a friend who I have known for ages, although he doesn't live around here anymore, he moved away about 2 years ago, but comes back here every so often. Anywho, I get on great with him. He so much fun to be around, and we're so similar in music tastes and interests, where as I tend to differ in these areas with my other friends so it's refreshing to spend time with him. However, although he can be absolutly great, he can also be so annoying! He has no depth of feeling, and is so selfish and arrogant sometimes. Nothing gets to him, I feel like i could turn around and never speak to him again and he wouldn't give a shit. And he's one of those lads who treats girls like objects, and is dying for attention off them all the time.

Do you have friends like that? Who are great for having a good time with, but you ask for any kind of depth out of them and they can't provide it?

I know it's insecure of me, but it's been getting to me recently, and I find myself having a go at him over little things simply because I want him to be someone different to who he is. Which I know is unfair. I suppose I want to feel like he cares about me as much as a care about him. So we have arguements, which I always cause, and then I feel awful afterwards because I'm pushing someone away who's so much fun to be with. But I can't help it! :banghead: I don't want to lose him, but I just wish he had more depth sometimes. I don't know how to stop it getting to me. I feel so needy, it's ridiculous!
