I used to be really close to this guy, but then we went through this misunderstanding where he thought i had said something that i didnt, and now he hates me. i tried making things right with him, and i even had a friend ask him what was going on. he said that he was sorry for making me feel bad but didnt want to be friends with me or aquainted with me at all. what should i do?

Just tell him you really didn't say what he thought you did and say that you're sorry if you offended him. Ask him if there's another reason for why he's acting like that. There probably is because it's stupid to break up a friendship just because of "something you said".
I had something just like that happen to me recently. Just be nice to the guy and see what happens. If you really want to keep the friendship, tell him that. Don't lose the opportunity to keep his friendship or it'll be gone for good. [ NanakiBH's advice column | Ask NanakiBH A Question ]

But saddly enough, I think the only thing TO DO would be to accept and Respect his wishes. As unfoRtunate as it is, you simply CAN NOT **MAKE** someone change theiR opinion of you just because you wish it could be that way, ya know?? You've TRIED to make the fRiendship woRk, but he simply won't allow it. That's not YOUR fault.. that's not YOUR failuRe; it's HIM being STUBBORN!! I say the best thing you could do would be to contact him once moRe to let him know that the lines of communication aRe always open, and he will always have a fRiend in you. Hopefully that will get him to thinkin'. :) Until then, the only thing to do would be to keep youR head up and move on.. [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]
