Please help I am loosing my friend
| Fri, 04-16-2004 - 4:22pm |
I have known my friend for about a little over two years. And this past April fools I decided to play a little prank on him to open his eyes alittle bit on how he mis-treats women. Basically I wrote a nasty letter sounding like a de-ranged ex girlfriend and sent some emails to him with the same spin-off or the origional letter. When he didnt know it was me he was coming up to me lauging about the situation. Later that day i was going to tell him the truth but when he found out that it was me he completely ignored me and said he didnt want to have **** to do with me. I bought flowers to show how sorry I was and even offered dinner and lunch.He still wont forgive me he walks past me not speaking or even looking in my direction. What should i do? I dont see how he can still be mad at me its been 2 weeks exactly. what is goin on in his head? and what should i do to get my friend back? Will we ever become friends? Please help I feel miserable about the whole situation.

I'm not sure what kind of response you expected to get from him.... sounds like you didn't think this through.
And at the same time, if you wanted to point out how he mistreats woman, there had to be a better way to do it then this.

Perhaps you wrote him this letter not only to open his eyes, but to open your own as well. You said you wanted him to know how he "mis-treats" women.

Accept your responsibility, offer him a sincere apology and stop trying to excuse it as a joke. If at all possible try to apologize to his face - even if he is with people. If you can't do that, then send him a certified letter. Then its up to him but simply saying I'm sorry doesn't mean he has to choose to associate with you anymore. This doesn't remove your responsibility for apoplgizing sincerely though.
Accept your responsibility, apologize, and move on. Its up to him to accept it or not.
