I feel so bad?
If it's still bothering him then it's still worth apologizing for. Don't sweat it - it's the right thing to do.
Reply:I think you are truly a good person. This is obviously something that has been weighing on your mind. I think if you apologized it would help you feel better about the situation and Right a Wrong (like a Mine Name Is Earl kind of moment..) and maybe it would help the guy's self esteem a little bit. It might give him the boost of confidence he needs to approach the next girl he's interested in.
Reply:Yea it might have been awhile,but why not? is he on myspace or do you have his number so you can text him? that would be way less awkward then in person. But i think you should just apologize,for one thing it will make him feel better,and also you,because you will stop worrying about it.
:)
Reply:hmm.... *deep thought* if it'll stop bothering you then do it. otherwise you have no reason to apologize. laughing was probably mean but hey! everyone slips sometimes. mm.... he doesn't seem to be bothered by you and if you bring up an old matter to people they'll pretend they forgot about it. (they really haven't) so you may make him feel better on the inside.
Reply:i think both of you need to move on considering this happened a long time ago. sounds like he's holding a grudge. it's not really your fault but i don't think you're the one who needs to apologize despite the fact that you laughed at him.
Reply:well obviously hes still upset and bothered and anyone upset or bothered still wants an apology.
im sure he'll accecpt it
better now than never
Reply:Just apologizes... do you think about how you would feel if it happen to you?... then don't do it to know one else.
Reply:just say your sorry, he will understand, have the greater heart and respect others.
Reply:go with your gut and apologize
Reply:While you did not explain why you all laughed when he asked if your friend liked his friend, I have to commend you for knowing that you hurt his feelings. It is never too late to apologize for any wrong we have done as long as we mean it and truly want to make amends in any way that we can. Simply go to him ( at a time and a place where and when you guys can talk freely), tell him how sorry you are for your behavior, that you realize you must have hurt his feelings, and ask him to please forgive you. He is not going to think you're weird,however, he may not immediately accept your apology or respond in a positive way or the way you want. You can not blame him totally for this if it happens.In the long run, he will come around and forgive you. If you can get your other friends to also join you in apologizing to him, that will be much better. If not, do it by yourself and you would be taken the first steps towards being a better human being and a better person.Good luck.
Reply:You're going to continue to feel bad about this unless you do something.
30 years ago while walking home from school, I stood by while my friend made fun of one of the "unpopular" kids. He mocked him for 5 long blocks and the kid just kept walking with his head down. I get sick every time I think about it.
Luckily, about 3 months ago, I ran into the kid (now grown up obviously). He asked me to dinner and I didn't know if he remembered the incident or whether I was there. I was uncomfortable about it the whole time (30 YEARS LATER).
Finally, I told him what I remembered, he remembered it too. I don't think he blamed me, anyway it seems like he forgives me...at least when he's kissing me. Mmmm, so cute!
My point, and I do have one, is that it costs you nothing to build a bridge here. Even if you can't get up the nerve to apologize, bake him some cookies, smile at him, let him know that you care.
You never know how yummy you might find him in a couple of years (or decades). You won't want to have this on your mind.
