a lost friendship

<p>I have written about this previously at the old forums. To make a long story short, I had a break-out with a girl I liked and haven't talked to her since then. I was really hurt from this experience. She has a boyfriend and seems happy now. This is my senior year and I probably won't see her again. I want to be friends with her again....it will be just a friendship, no girlfriend/boyfriend deal. I don't know how she will react to this and how to confront her. She probably thinks I am a jackass and a loser as I didn't have the courage to talk to her again. What should I do to regain the friendship and her trust? If you guys have any advice, it will be really helpful.</p>

<p>tell her you want to talk, get her somewhere private, and tell her everything. apologize for being an ass, tell her exactly why you want to be friends again (like list her qualities, every girl likes compliments), and wait for her response. if she responds negatively, back off and wait for her to come talk to you. this is just letting her know you are open to and really want to restart your friendship.</p>

<p>go for it! what do you have to lose? if you've already lost her friendship, there is no risk. only gain.</p>

<p>thanks for the advice, do you think I should send white roses to her with a handwritten note? or just confront her?</p>

<p>Just confront her. The roses would be a bit awkward with her having a boyfriend.</p>

<p>I agree, that's imposing. Good luck and let us know how it goes!</p>

<p>Edit: i think the handwritten note is a great idea because, personally, writing helps sort everything out. You might want to get all of your feelings out in a note, then give it to her to read and sit there with her as she reads it. This way all of your words are heard (well, read) and she knows you mean what you say. After she reads it, talk about how she is feeling and what she thinks of everything</p>
