My best friend, who i have been "talking" to for about 6 months now thinks i hooked up with his friend. he is really convinced and will not believe me. theres not much i can say besides i didnt do it. he said he needs to think about it. i just need some advice on how to let him know i care about him, and wouldnt do that. even better, if he does decide to forgive me, how do i gain his trust?

You should show him that you care. Set up a time for the two of you to be alone together and get some time to talk. You could go for a walk to a quiet place & look at the clouds or stars, out for coffee/etc, or out for lunch/dinner. After spending some quality time together wait for a good moment to tell him exactly WHY you care about him (what is really great about him?) and let him know that you would never want to risk losing him.
Give him some time to think if he says he needs it, but continue to show interest in the situation to show your dedication to your friendship. You can also try asking him how you can make him feel more comfortable with what you are trying to tell him. Showing this much interest in what has happened shows that you really care.
Be confident, if you believe in what you are trying to tell him it will all work out. Once he forgives you just continue to spend him with him and demonstrate that you are a dedicated, caring friend and you wouldn`t do anything to hurt him. Good luck, if you need any clarification or further advice feel free to ask me! =) [ emilyy's advice column | Ask emilyy A Question ]
