lost a great friend

LegacyUser

I was best friends with a girl a few years back. This friend and I kissed once before we were ever friends but nothing ever came of it. Anyway I started seeing a new girl a couple of years ago and she was quite jealous of this girl being in my life, perhaps understandably so, but my friend had a bf and it wasn't as if anything would ever happen with us again. Anyway, I stupidly broke off contact with this girl, who was one of my best friends at the time. I've regretted my actions since and still feel very badly about it and also ashamed of myself for not standing up to my ex.

Fast forward a couple of years and the breakup of my relationship with said gf. I recently managed to add my former friend as a friend on fb. I would like to make contact to apologise but I'm not sure if she could forgive me. I mean I wouldn't blame her if she never forgave me. What kind of a friend acts like that. How would you even start an apology like that! Just given that we were so close, it feels like a shame to waste. What should I do?

If you have already lost the girl as a friend,then I would say to go for it. What have you got to lose? She was one of your best friends,speak your mind and let her know that you acknowledge your mistake and atleast attempt to gain contact with her again.

Go for it! They say ''it's the things in life that one didn't do that one regrets''
If you regret it now, imagine how you will feel in 5 years time?! Bite the bullet and send her a message before it's too late! As the above poster said, what have you got to lose?:D
