all you need to do is to talk to him/her about the best times you and him/her had done in your lives. they will get emotional and possibly forgive you. if that does not happen then ask me for more advise if him/her just walks off thanks.

Arguements are difficult in relationships, the best thing to do is send a txt message saying that 'you don't want your friendshsip to end' and also 'apologise for wat you have done wrong'. Sometimes things do take time, but don't wait to long without contacting your friend because they might think you don't care about your friendship. Bec x x

Hi,

Defenetely the only thing right now for you is to wait, make sure you have apologized for everything and didnt leave anything out, once that's done, then it's up to your friend to forgive and hopefully forget, it's a very unwanted process but unfortunately all the time consequences are unwated, give it time, it can take a long time. know that.

Wish you luck,

Matt,20.

Give them time to cool off, then write a letter allowing them to make the next move when they are ready. you don't say what the argument was about, so i can't be any more specific. Respect their feelings and give them the time to forgive you.

If your friendship is sincere, genuine and caring, your friend will come around, in time. You may just have to wait it out but it is a good idea to write this person a letter, apologizing. Remember, it's not always easy for some people to forgive. But without forgiving, they will not be able to move past the anger the other person's 'wrong' has produced in them. He needs to understand that his lack of forgiveness and his anger may put your friendship in jeopardy, for good. He needs to understand, that with enough anger and rage inside themselves, they could cause damage to other relationships in their life. I wouldn't tell him this...he has to realize it on his own and grow from it. Write a nice short note to him, accepting your responsibility for offending him and apologize. Make sure he gets the note then it's his choice whether he reads it or not. All you can do after that, is wait it out. But I wouldn't keep pursuing it and calling him. Accept that you gave it your best shot. Lay low and see what happens. Give it time and allow him some space to think.

Rebecca Batchelor agony auntI think the best thing to do is to write him a letter (or email him). Then you can explain everything and express how you feel. Explain how much you value the friendship and what you think of him as well as apologising.

All you can really do then is wait.

Hopefully, as time passes, he will come round once he has time to calm down.

The ball will be in his court then and you would have done all you can do.

Good luck.

Wait a while then try to call her again and explain.

Maybe write her a letter explaining, at least this way you will know you have done what you can to salvage your friendship.
