What else can I do to save a friendship?

Question

I sent a friend of mine a text message today, asking her if she wanted things I had gotten her a few months ago, she and I had an argument about 3 weeks ago and she has not responded to my emails, texts, or anything. I also sent her a letter of apology via snail mail, which she has not received yet. I just do not know if I should keep trying to talk to my friend or just let it go. I hated losing her as a friend and I am trying to repair the friendship, but it looks lost at the moment. I am wondering what else I can do for her to forgive me and allow me to be her a friend again.

Answer 1

Let it go. The whole thing will blow over. It might be a long time though. Enjoy your life and stop being miserable.

Answer 2

The ball is in her court. You've done everything you can do and it's up to her now. Give her some space and time to think about it. When she's ready, she'll come around.

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

Give it a little time and then try again.  If the friendship is really worth it, keep trying.  She could be to hurt right now to respond, so maybe backing off for a little bit will give her the space she needs.

Answer 4

I think you just have to continue to be up front and honest.  Then wait.  Perhaps it is to painful for her even to think about just now.

Answer 5

Well its a good thing that you accepted your fault and is trying hard to repair your friendship.

well If you know that she is reading your emails tell her that you are sorry one last time and if she is not gonna reply.. you will think she haven't forgiven you and you will never bother her again and will leave her alone forever, and then wait to few days don't do anything...If she likes you and still wants to be your friend she will contact you.It might be that she is just showing attitude.

Answer 6

I would just leave her alone for a few days so she can get over whatever she's mad at you for. If she really wants to be your friend she'll eventually talk to you. I once didn't talk to my best friend for seven months, but now we're friends again. She'll get over it eventually.

Answer 7

If she hasn't responded, you have to let her go.  Anymore unreturned contact is unacceptable no matter who's at fault.

Answer 8

Besides letting your friend know you are truly sorry for whatever went down, there's not much else you can do. It's up to her now to decide if she wants to remain friends or not. Maybe one final letter or email simply stating you're very sorry about everything (i assume you did something to offend her) and you hope she can find it in her heart to forgive her, however long that may take, you'll always be there if she ever needs you for anything, or when she decides to forgive you. Then just let things be, if she really wants to remain friends, she'll eventually come around. If not, that's the end of that friendship, move on.
