Why do you think steerforth tells David to think well of him ?..do you feel that there might be a break up in their friendship

Steerforth's words foreshadow what will come. He is morally lacking.... and even now, he knows that he will alienate David at some point in the future. Steerforths seduction on Miss Emily will sever their friendship.
