ways to say i am sorry
There’s only one really sure-fire way. Mean it. Believe it from the bottom of your heart. Hold the error of your ways in the fore of your mind until it burns you to the core; repent, then go to her/him in your penitent state and apologize.
If you’re a guy apologizing to a girl, roses, chocolate, vacations, and diamonds never hurt, either. If you really screwed up, do ‘em all at once (well, in sequence). Seriously though, a sincere apology with a genuine change of heart needs no money involved.
If you’re a girl apologizing to a guy, do the same (heartfelt apology + change of heart, &c., not necessarily the roses-chocolate-diamonds route). But again, you have to mean it, not just look like you mean it. He can tell, just like you can, even if he doesn’t call you out on it.

I find that when I hurt someone I care about, it tears me up as much as, if not more than, him/her. So, I apologized. Sincerely. I also admitted being totally, inexcusably wrong. I admitted to not knowing how to fix things, nor how to undo what I had done (impossible.) My apology was accepted, as best it could be, and our now damaged, splintered hearts are trying to move forward. My “error” has been pushed beneath the surface, but that’s exactly where it is - beneath the surface and, from its subsurface position, it affects everything. …and my internal blender chops on….

June 6th, 2005 at 23:52:02Denise, if I may be so bold as to ask—rhetorically, if you like—have you accepted his acceptance? More directly: have you forgiven yourself? If your error has only been pushed down, then it has simply been mutually agreed that you will not bring it up; but if it has been forgiven, it is completely gone.
Forgiveness removes the bullet and infection from the wound; it’s up to both people to be tender and let it heal. Be of good courage, Denise; the blender’s blades will dull and break in due time, if they haven’t yet.
