QuestionMy friend is a guy and I have, over the past few months, texted him enough to make him annoyed. What should I do?Community AnswerJust say, "I'm sorry I've been texting you so much, I realize you're annoyed and I'll do my best not to text you anymore unless it's important."

QuestionSo my guy friend is annoyed because I supposedly always look at him and it kinda hurt because he called me annoying. I haven't talked to him yet because i dont know how. Please help.Community AnswerUnderstand that the problem is relatively minor, and understand that the problem can't go unsolved forever. The interaction was simply a miscommunication, and it's obvious that neither one of you intended to hurt the other. Simply go up to your friend at a time in which he is calm and has a few minutes, and apologize. Tell him that you didn't intend to come across as the way you did and that if need be, you will try and change those behaviors in the future. If he's a true friend, he'll accept your apology and move on, and if he doesn't, then that means he may not be worth getting anxious over.

QuestionMy guy friend and I have been arguing for the longest time, and it’s just about me dating someone! What should I do to say sorry and how should I say it?Community AnswerYou should tell your friend, politely, that it's not really any of his business who you choose to date. But if you said something you regret during the argument, just apologize for that. Say something like, "I'm really sorry I said [whatever you said]. I was upset, but I still shouldn't have said it. I do respect your opinion and I value our friendship, but my relationships are my own private business."

QuestionI insulted a guy's mother, how do you recommend apologizing to him?Community AnswerThat definitely calls for an apology! Just say something like, "Sorry I said that about your mom. There's no excuse, and I feel horrible." Then tell him it will never happen again, and stick to that promise!

QuestionMy friend said that he can't cope up with me, because I am hitting him with questions and he said I complain a lot. Please what do I do on this issue?Devils_AdvocateCommunity AnswerDo what he asks. The more you poke and prod someone, the more they'll push you away. Just be there, be supportive and let him know that you're there if and when he needs you. Everyone complains, it's part of being human but perhaps try and keep your thoughts to yourself around him.

QuestionI have a guy friend, and I texted him that I "think" I like him as more than a friend. He has a girlfriend. He blocked me, and now I can only talk to him on my friend's account. What should I do?Community AnswerTalk to him in person, and tell him that it was just a thought, and you're sorry if you offended him or upset him. If he doesn't want to talk to you, just give him some space for now. You'll only make him more upset or annoyed if you keep pushing the issue.

QuestionI feel so bad and emotionally down. My friend stopped talking to me and declines my calls each time I put a call to him. He said I have a complaining nature; what do I do?Tom De BackerTop AnswererJust because he says you're a complainer doesn't mean you are. It only means he feels that way, and whatever feeling anyone else has is their business, not yours. As to what to do, if you haven't already, first leave him alone for a good long while; I'd say two weeks. Then let him know you'd like to talk about what happened, apologize if you did something, but only apologize once. But if he doesn't want to talk, it's over, sad as that may be.

QuestionWhat do I do if my friend doesn't want to be my friend anymore?Community AnswerIf you've already apologized and he's still upset, give him some time and space. He might change his mind and decide to be your friend again after all. If he doesn't, there's not much you can do about it. It's ultimately his choice who he does and doesn't want to be friends with.

QuestionWhat do I do if I'm too shy to apologize to my guy friend?Community AnswerIf you're too shy to apologize in person, send him a note or give him a phone call. It's okay if you are too shy, but try to make it obvious that you're sorry. Make eye contact with him, send him little notes saying nice things. It may take him some time to understand your message. If you want to do it quickly, say it to him.
