I have recently gotten in a fight with a good friend, what is the best way to make up with him?

say your sorry and give him something. (note: If needed.)

Yes, make the first approach.   If it's something that really is no big deal, then just apologize for it and get on with the friendship.

Jen,\n\nThere is no easy way of doing this. You have to be straight and honest with him and you may even need to be painfully blunt. Teenage boys are notorious for hearing what they want to hear so you saying friend may sound to him like not now but maybe later.\n\nIn the long term the quick band aid approach always works best.

Simple. Walk up to him and say 'Look, I know we are not together anymore. I just want say that you are my friend and I care about you still. Please understand that you are important in my life and I value your friendship.'\n\nKeep it basic and be kind with your words and he will understand. I promise :)

This doesn't sound like a healthy relationship. You need to, sooner or later, bring up the problem to this other person, but if there's the risk for physical damage bring someone capable of dealing it out... who's on your side. A bodyguard of sorts, ne?\n\nIf physical damage isn't apparent, the best thing to do is face the music. I'm sorry I couldn't answer the way you probably would've like me to answer, but I've been in a slightly similar situation. Sure, the other party/person/whatever will probably be angry, but there's nothing you can do about that.\n\nI'll sum up:\n*Doesn't take out anger on you: Talk to them. Explain your problem as objectively as you can, with clear benevolent (good) intent.\n*Takes out anger on you: Bring a bodyguard.

well give him time and tell him how the friend told you alot of lies. Just let it be and if its meant to happen then it will.  When he sees how cool you are about the whole situation he will come for you

Two years before we had a hot spot and fought but as both were stubborn we remained the same for a week. Later while playing a game before tests(whole class played yaar) we were in oppostie teams and then in same teams that time we could not avoid speaking to each other.Our anger melted and once again buddies forever. \nNow for some advice,listen to me. If you can rate your friend please see if he/she is worth of your friendship. If they are then apologise and don't fight again. If not then shut your mouth and go find some worthy and truthful friend. Ok good luck.

Smile, say that it was good of him to enlighten you with his/her/it's point of view, and that you'd get back once you'd figured the depth of the person's insights which that person was so good to share with you.\n\nThe next time the person tries to corner you, smile and rush off saying that you'd a broken garter or broken a heel or something like that.\n\nGuys will have to think of some reason or the other to fob off the person without bopping him, cause violence will feed to his frenzy and make him a martyr, at least in his own eyes.

After realizing your mistakes and apologizing sincerely to him, then give him space, don't drool on it as it will not give him the chance to reflect on what you've said that has hurt him or your words of being sorry. Time doesn't really heal whatever pain we've experienced, but it gives us the chance to take it, to carry it and to understand why things have happened. Its more difficult for a man just to forget, forgive and pretend nothing has been said that has hurt his ego or his total self. Just continue being you, the person he used to be a friend with, smile when you see him, though stop nagging or pushing yourself into him to put back everything that was. That's done and gone, start from scratch, that's the cause and effect of what you've done. Accept and WAIT, wait when he's ready to be friends again. Remember, wait and have patience.

Go to his home. Knock on his door, and tell him how you feel.\n\nIf that's too bold, then send him a light note... an invitation to coffee.  Maybe send him a note in the mail and inside a starbucks card... inside a note say "Let's meet for coffee... my treat"\n\nTell him that you have a confession.  You never knew that the answer was in front of your face, and hope that its not too late for a 2nd chance.  You don't want to lose a dear friend, and want him to forgive you.\n\nI would say that its now in his court. If hes willing to forgive,then you will meet him more than halfway.... and wililng to mend the hurt.

Tell him exactly what you are feeling.\nTell him you would like to still be friends but have concerns.\nTell him why you are concerned & explain quite simply that this can not continue to happen.\nTell him how it makes you feel and how you would NEVER do that to him...\nAfter saying this, listen to his reaction & proceed however you think is best.\nMy guess is things will change for the better, but this is up to you to decide. (If he really was a good friend, give him a chance to redeem himself and make things good again.)

The best thing you can do is keep out of it: they'll sort it out eventually. You don't have to put up with their nonsense, though, especially if it makes you unhappy, and you should let them know. Don't make a big drama out of it, or you'll be pandering to their feelings that this fight is a huge big thing and probably help spin it out even longer. Just say to them firmly "none of that crap around me, please. You two can take your arguments elsewhere or be quiet." If one of them is with you and tries to make you avoid the other one, just say "don't be stupid, just act like an adult, can't you?!" As they no doubt care about you, after a while they'll settle down. If one of your friends decides not to be friends with you any more because you won't take sides, then they're not really a true friend, and you're better off spending your time doing other things.

Aw. Well, just sit him down and explain to him your feelings. Tell him you just want to go back to being friends. There really is no easy or "nice" way to do it because he probably will get hurt. But whatever you do, let him know you still think he's a great guy and that you value your friendship.. =). Hope that helped a little, haha. And thanks for answering mine.. our ages are 16.

Hey my dear, we've all been there.  I respect you and I'm sure your friend will for your honesty.\n\nSay it something like this, " Hello Mary, I know I acted like an idiot the other day.  I said some crap that I really did'nt mean.  Sometimes I can be an ass.  Can I make it up to you?  \n\nGood luck

First things first, you have to find out the truth about what happened. Then you make them feel guilty by saying something like "Why would you lie to me about that?" or "How could you not trust me with the real truth?" (That one might work better... lol). Then you don't talk to them for a while and let him/her sweat it out a little bit, and when they ask you why you aren't talking to them simply say "I'm sorry, but I cannot be friends with someone who is going to lie to me." Then when they apologize, say to them "It's ok, but it's going to take me a while to trust you again". That will make them feel really guilty and they won't want to lie to you again... but that's only if they care about you a lot. Good luck... I hope you and your friend make up soon. :)

Look, if both you and his girlfriend have tried to talk him out of fighting and have explained that you have no desire to fight, then all you can do is just drop it.  There is no need in trying to fight him to prove to him that he is stupid, because he will just try to fight again.  He may call you a coward, but is it really cowardice to try be the better man?  Integrity is the most important thing to have in this world, if you give that up for a stupid reason then you will have a hard time getting it back.  So the best advice I can give is, if he won't try to be reasonable, then just don't deal with him anymore, don't worry about it.\n\n"If we give up who we are to prove something is stupid, then all we have become is stupid".  Just think about that.

Hi\n\n   If he is your friend like you stated please do not ignore him because that is not what suppose it friends do. I would simply say just talk to him have a serious one on one chat and let him know you do not view him in a way which can lead to anything but pure friendship. Hopeful he will be mature enough to understand that friendship is all you desire out of this relationship. \n  \nNow on the other hand if he ends up being a DICK about it you can just simply cut him off and then ignore him. I hope I helped
