This guy clearly doesn’t understand what I’m telling him. He’s like herpes - just when you think you’ve cleared it up, it’s baaaacckkkk!

Thanks for responding back to me but it still hurts to know I’m losing the possibility of having a great friend. I know what I did was wrong
but believe I could be an amazing friend to you as well, that could listen to you when you need someone and make you laugh. We had many many many hours of conversations that were fun. Yes, I know I’ve said and acted like a jerk, I’m not perfect and can be immature at times.
I really appreciate your friendship and even though I only know you a short time, I ask you not to give up on a possible friendship so fast. Please let me have the opportunity to show you that I am better than this and can give you the friendship you deserve.
I wouldn’t be emailing you this much and calling if I didn’t think it was important, but I enjoyed those times we spoke and I know we can have those times again.
I know these are words and actions make the difference, but I really wish you could give me the chance. Does not have to be right away, but I want to build your trust in me which takes time. If I could go back and not say what I said, I so would. I will not ever say a negative word about you again or cause you to be on the defensive.
Please think about it. I probably want you as a friend more than you want me but that’s because not many people can make me laugh and are as fun to talk to as you are.
From the Peanut Gallery: Yeah, I think it’s safe to say that he definitely wants to be friends with me more than I do… considering I keep telling him to stop contacting me. And, does anyone else get the impression that we’re not really talking about a friendship anymore?

The actions and words I said and did were not appropriate at all. I took out my frustrations in a very bad manner and did not handle those well. You did nothing wrong to me and I feel horrible. The whole day this has affected me and has saddened me.

Pathetic Guy, we don’t have enough of a history that I know what kind of a person you are. I honestly don’t think there’s anything that could be said to make me change my mind. I feel as though my impression of you has been greatly changed and there are just somethings that you can’t back bounce from.

I realize that we don’t have the history to see what kind of person I am, that of course takes time. I know because of what I’ve said, you see me in a different light and there’s no excuse for things I said. However, haven’t you ever given people 2nd chances? I have and sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t, but I’m the type of person that when I something is important to me, there’s a strong desire in me to prove to the other person, I’m worth giving a 2nd chance to.
If we were to become friends, I would want to be there for you, make you feel good when you’re down and make you feel that I care about the friendship and that I value it. I am very aware of what I said was wrong, I don’t blame you for having a different opinion of me, but I will never ever act that way again toward to. I will never bring up anything negative. Instead, I want the friendship to be based on positivity. I am not going to make you feel bad or make you feel sad. Instead, I want to make you happy, laugh, feel good and explore the city together.
Plus, you are a really awesome, I’m very aware of that. What I said was horrible and like I said no excuse but think of all the many hours we talked where we did laugh and wedid listen to each other. I can be a very good listener and I really want to show you that I can be the type of person that would make the friendship special and be a great friend.
I would like to talk to you on the phone to discuss as that’s better than email or text.
A good friendship takes time to build, I’m willing to put the effort in and do whatever it takes to siow you how sorry I am. This would mean so much to me.
From the Peanut Gallery: Well, he is right about one thing, I am pretty awesome!

I just want to say I am glad I found you on meetup and it was worth meeting you and I want to thank you for that night, because I did get to
try a new restaurant, you made me laugh, you were fun, pleasant and you I’m appreciative of the fact you said thank you and introduced me to the wine bar.
From the Peanut Gallery: Well, I’m glad he’s appreciative of all of this now.

Hi Pathetic Guy,
I understand that you’re upset and that you’re sorry. I know that. And honestly, this was your second chance. After that email exchange a couple weeks ago, I was ready to throw in the towel. But I knew that you were hurt and I thought I’d give you a second chance to get over it and redeem yourself. And now here we are. Please take this as a learning experience to grow and better yourself. But I need you to you respect my wishes. I can’t be friends with you, Pathetic Guy. I wish you a lot of luck.
From the Peanut Gallery: I’ve had “real” relationships that ended with less conversation. Good luck to the next girl!
