Q&A for How to Apologize to a Girl

If you screwed up, it's probably a good idea to apologize! Come from a place of open vulnerability and apologize when the both of you are calm. This is the best shot you have at getting her to accept your apology.

It can be anything, from being mean, embarrassing her, anything that truly upsets her. It's better to apologize than not to apologize at all.

Still send goodnight texts, good morning text, and show her you still care about her well-being. Even if it's just "Night," through a message, it still shows you care even if you don't want to talk.

You should go to her and pull her aside just to get the two of you alone and just apologize for ignoring her. Admit that you were being an idiot and that you will never do it again.

Don't wear colors that the person receiving the apology doesn't like. Wear an outfit that shows who you are and flatters your body.

You don't have to touch her to say you're sorry. You can -- and probably should -- maintain your distance, keep eye contact and apologize like you mean it. If she's really mad at you, touching can make her more angry at you.

Get her some roses and tell her you really want to make things straight again. Give her time to think it over and ask her to give you a second chance to earn her trust.

Apologize and say it was inappropriate.

Apologize immediately when you do something wrong and then give her space. Let her call the shots for awhile. If you make her feel uncomfortable, then continuing to pressure her into talking to you is only going to make the issue worse.

First, I would apologize for crossing a line and making her feel uncomfortable. Explain to her that it was not your intention to upset her. Then, ask if she would still be okay talking to you and developing a friendship. If she says yes, then take things slow and hold off on any more gifts or showy displays of affection. Don't try to rush her into anything romantic.

You don't have to be alone with someone to apologize. But if she doesn't want to talk to you at all, write her a letter telling her how sorry you are, and/or send some flowers. Make sure to let her know that you will give her space, but you'd like to talk things over and apologize in person if she is comfortable with that.

You should just let her/him be. Give her/him a few weeks to cool off.

Say you're sorry that you ignored her and let her know that it won't happen again in the future. Promise that you will make an effort to be more attentive.

No, because you said what you had to say. Just like she would want you to respect her decisions. She should respect it as well.

If you can get her to talk to you briefly, apologize for whatever you did that made her uncomfortable. Don't make excuses for yourself. If she really doesn't want to talk to you, that is her right and you need to respect it. Nobody owes you their friendship or attention, especially not someone who you've already upset with your behavior. Give her a brief, simple apology and tell her that you'd like to be friends, but it's her choice and the ball is in her court.

You should wait a couple days and let her cool down. After that, you should apologize in person, because apologizing any other way could seem like a cop out.Try to explain why you did it without making it seem like an excuse, and let her respond, even if it's just to insult you. After all, the apology is to make her feel better, not for you.

Text is not the best way to apologize. If at all possible, do it in person. If text is your only option, full explain why you're sorry and try to follow up in person as soon as possible.

Ideally, you should apologize to the boyfriend and tell him to tell his girlfriend that you're sorry if you offended her in any way. If you need to do it the other way around, just tell her "I'm sorry about the way I overreacted with your boyfriend the other day, please tell him I'm sorry."

Marriage is a commitment. It shouldn't be rushed. If you care that much, walk straight up to her and tell her how you feel.

Did you apologize in that letter? If so, that's a good start. You could next try to approach her and apologize in person (which takes more guts and is therefore likely to make more of an impression).

Before trying again, try finding out from her friends or sibling(s) how she's reacting. If she's mad about the whole situation, it would probably be best to wait a bit longer. If there aren't any hard feelings, just apologize sincerely, and maybe give her her favorite flowers as well.

Well, it depends on who it is. Is it a classmate, a neighbor, or a person you just know? But, no it's not necessary to hug someone you don't know, and if they hate being hugged, that could make the problem worse. Apologizing should be sufficient.

First, say, “I’m really sorry, I was just not being very respectful. Ignoring you was not smart, and I just want to apologize for it.” Next, ask if she forgives you. Proceed from there once you have her answer. Be aware she might be reticent to trust you, so give her some time to think it over.

No--apologize once, then give her time to process her feelings. She will get in contact with you when she's ready to forgive you or discuss it further. Sitting with your uncomfortable feelings can be a good deterrent to repeating the behavior in the future. There's nothing you can do to change the incident that happened in the past and you've tried to rectify the situation in the present by apologizing, so now all you can do is try to analyze the motivation behind your behavior and work on improving yourself to prevent future recurrences.

Keep saying sorry now and then, for just a week or two. Stop saying it if she feels annoyed by hearing this, as that will only make it worse. Give her some flowers or a living plant as a gesture of contrition, then move on together. Be careful in future!

She probably cannot trust you. Most girls are sensitive and really cannot take insults, so try to apologize, and remember that you cannot force her to keep the friendship.
