Give it more time but don't force yourself on the person you've apologized and done your part now the ball is in their court. Let them come to you when they're ready if ever. And if they never come back then it's a painful lesson but at least you learned something from it.

If you have apologized from your heart and meant it, it is time to keep on living your life. Your friend might realize that he or she misses you and come back over time. It happens. It's not unheard of to fall in and out with friends. If you were important enough to your friend and he or she is not the type to hold grudges, he or she will probably come back. Give it time.

There is only so much you can do. If they are being a stubborn jackass and refuse to accept your apology and movee on then let em be. The only thing you will accomplish by continuing to try and mend the friendship i9s make them think you're a stalker. Just give uop and know in your heart you tried.

It depends. If it was one of my bestfriends then I would keep trying because I love all three of them like sisters and I dont know where I'd be without them... Maybe the same for just a friend, depending on how good our relationship was. If we were just like associates then I could care less.

- He was and has been a close friend for years. even if we go months without talking or seeing eachother we were always able to pick up where we left off like no time had passed. Now hes ignoring me and it hurts so bad that I am going to give up becuase I dont feel that hes being very fair in this either. Its like hes now taking advantage of me being the first to really apologize and now even more convinced that he was right for what he has done. Im done trying. Just done all together Im afraid. I would never treat someone close to me so cold. Im not the only person that did things wrong I just was the only one to apologize for it and willing to forgive him as well and start over with our friendship. I didnt tell him that of course but thats the apology deal...if you apologize first then you arent allowed to tell the other person what they did to hurt you, you can only admit your own mistakes. He knows he messed up too so Im done. Even if he decides to accept the apology later it may be to late becuase him not saying anything is making everything worse. The months we werent speaking I thought of him everyday but never reached out to him becuase I feared he would do this. Its immature and I seriously cant deal with it. If your friend went through something tramatic like I did you would be more patient and understanding with your friend wouldnt you? Especially if it was out of character for her to act the way she did....Thats what happened here. I was not myself I was tramatized over my son having cancer. He was only an 8 year old little boy at the time and my brother died from the same cancer so I was really a mess for a long time and he knows it. So to hell with it.

- Now that I have an understanding of the problem... If I were in this situation, I dont know I probably would give up especially if I put my heart into trying to patch things up and they werent hearing it because thats something I dont do. If I truly cared for someone Ill try my best to fix it... Maybe theyll come around again, maybe they wont. But it may be too late as you said before. Just do what you feel is best for you!

I was in the same situation, I apologized sincerely from the heart and allowed TIME to take its course, not being overbearing but remaining at a "safe" distant. Unfortunately, they felt that it wasn't worth the hassle, I wasn't worth being a friend to, however you want to dress it up. I guess that was my answer right there. Until you've exhausted all your options, I would relay not to give up.
