How do I apologize to someone I did wrong.

[NickTheStar]

There's a girl at school that I was flirting with. She said "You know sometimes you're a real asshole" and i responded "Yeah, well you're always a damn bitch". I realize I fucked up. How do I fix the situation? Im not good at apologizing. How do I approach this?

get her alone and just be honest with her. say I was short tempered, I have a lot on my mind (which too be fair, you really do with everything going on). you can say I was a jerk and I should never have said that (even if she did poke the bear a little). be honest, simple, and sincere

If you see her again, just apologize. Tell her "I'm sorry, I did not know what I was thinking or doing."

After that, squash the problem and you're done. Move on, next.

Yeah just tell her how sorry you are admit you were wrong to do that there isn't much you can do after that it's up to her

At least you thought about needing to apologise; many people just hand out apologies like their ticket stubs just to have it out there. Tell her you're sorry and you didn't mean what you said, but also of whatever you were doing while flirting with her is bothering, try not to continue that either.

You need to apologise without making excuses. Tell her that you are sorry for what you said and then leave the conversation at that. Unfortunately for you though you have shot yourself in the foot romantically as it's going to be a long time (if at all) before she has any feelings for you by the sounds of it. Don't expect everything to just go back to normal straight away. I guess you know her and the situation better though, that's just what it seems like from the outside.

make no excuses. don't justify it. and don't pull her aside so it's just the two of you. actually the more people who hear it the more sincere she will think you are. take full responsibility. "I was wrong for saying that. It was mean and not true. I've been feeling terrible about it ever since and I want to sincerely apologize and promise it will never happen again. I hope you can forgive me." done. She may accept it or she make tell you to fuck off but even if she does that, she'll think about what you said earlier. If she does say fuck off or something like that just nod and say, "I don't blame you. I hope in time you can forgive me." and walk away. that's all you can do. it's up to her if she accepts it or not but everyone who heard you will know you manned up and did the right thing.
