I'm an 29 year old guy.I'll always do my best to give well considered and sincere advice - give me your best shot. P.S. Don't be afraid to ask me private questions, I rarely spend a lot of time answering non-private questions.
o.o There is apparently a FORUM for me if you would like to talk about random non-advice stuff. Take off your shoes!

Is There a way to tell if things between you and another person okay after having a problem with say a friend, you apologize in letters, made a card or two and all plus you sent the friend an email apologizing, but no replies. So is there a way to tell if thins are okay or not? Does not answering someone mean things are okay? Thanks. :)
Silence is generally a negative sign. You need to be more direct about apologising. Like phone them, or try to see them in person to talk about it.
You should also tell us what the situation is in your question. They're anonymous, so there's no reason to hold back, whether you're ashamed or not.
There are times when silence can mean agreement, but usually it's only when the two people involved are so close that they know it's agreed, in which case, you wouldn't be asking anyway.
Hope it works out

At restaurants - what is the accepted etiquette/percentage for tipping someone who you have an outside friendship with?
Accepted etiquette is 10-15% of what the meal cost, but that would be on a restaurant. It depends on where you're eating, what you can afford, and how often you eat there. If your meal cost under $50, then I'd recommend leaving a $5 tip, because seriously -$2 looks a little pathetic lying there in the middle of the table, doesn't it?
I don't see any reason that you would want to tip your friend above average rate, unless you don't think they get enough pocket money, and you feel a bit sorry for them. Some people would take offense to being over-tipped actually, it could make them feel inadequate, or like you thought they were having money trouble.
