Making a new friend is pretty easy, but maintaining such friendship becomes very tough at times. Misunderstandings are the primary reason why most of the friendship breaks. A broken friendship can leave many bitter moment. But the beauty of friendship is any bitter thoughts between each other can be shooed away by a simple “sorry”.

“An apology is the superglue of life. It can repair just about anything.” - Lynn Johnston

But who says sorry can make all the difference. It is not wrong on your part to say sorry, even if the fault was not from your side. But to make or break friendship it requires two people. So directly or indirectly you might be involved for the differences. It is not a good feeling to be disliked by someone, at one point of time in life we will surely miss them. If you know, the fault was from your side confess to your fault and ask him/her sorry by heart. Initially he/she might not consider your apology by later they will surely. There are different way you can ask sorry to a friend

Say sorry with a Gift :

Before you are going to say sorry, make sure you are carrying a gift or a card at least. Specially, if your friend is a girl these gifts matter a lot. For a guy a simple hug will do, but girls expect some gifts to remember the moment.

When you say sorry mean it :

If you are saying sorry to someone, mean it. Never say sorry just for the heck of it or just to please the person. If you are sorry mean it or just don’t say it yet.

Look into his/her eyes :

When you are asking sorry look into persons eye. This will make them understand that you really meant your sorry, because eyes can speak more than what we think. Open your eyes wide when asking sorry, and search for the answer in his/her eyes. If he/she is looking into your eyes, your apologies are almost sure to be accepted.

Don’t make a fuss about it:

Do talk about the issue to clear why the mis understanding occured. But don’t drag it too long as it will only end up blaming each other and soon you will be back to square one. Respect each other’s point of view and tell what you felt and thought.

Ask sorry man o man :

Try your best to ask the person sorry face to face. This way, you will be able to express your feelings better. Asking sorry on phone, chat, e-mail can sound easy but don’t have the same effect as face to face.

If you are staying far from your friend or can’t meet him/her for some reason, I would recommend you send them a personalized e-card.

Always remember as an old saying says.. ” It is better to be late, than never “.
