How do you apologize to someone for something you did, when you don't even know what it is you did in the first place. Seriously. On average it probably would not bug me as much, but I hold so much respect for this person, it is just driving me nuts.
Lynn Well, if you don't know, I'm not going to tell you! That's what women tell me. I think most men would appreciate a direct approach. Tell him that it seems you may have offended him but don't understand how. Ask "what did I do?" and "How can I fix it?" +++++++++++++++ If it worked for your other friend, put a note in his microwave. You're a wonderful,decent person, Lynn. He probably wants your friendship as much as you want his. Could be a hurt feeler,pouty thing. Give it a few days and, if he doesn't broach it, drop a e-mail asking if there's a problem that he wishes to address. Writing sometimes offers folks that courage that sometimes isn't there with face to faces. It'll be fine,I'm sure.

Lynn Ask them straight up what the problem is. If they can't tell you then you possibly can not apologize.

A man doesn't spend much time dwelling on somebody who starts actin' all wacky.
We just write them off as "too wacky to deal with", and move along. Bingo

Most of the time when something's wrong with a man, the woman thinks it's about her, when it could be something completely unrelated to her, as difficult as that is for women to realize.
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?
Immersing oneself in progressive lieberalism is no different than bathing in the sewage of Hell.

Or it could be something you'd never guess in a million years.

The gentleman in question lives over 4,000 miles away and we will not be in the same country again till November.
I am however going to take the advice of letting it be, I guess things will be what they will be, and time will tell.
Thank you for all your help gentlemen, it did bring me to the realization and decision above.

follow SH's advice. let it go gal. I will I promise. I know SH is someone who would give me good advice on relationships and the way to handle these kind of matters. He's not into making mistakes when it comes to people, or to relationships, he calls them like he sees them, he doesn't lie, and his track record from what I see here is a good one. He gets out when the other side is not good. It is a good thing he is as good a judge of character as he is, wish I could be just like him. Again, thanks everyone I so appreciate your help in ways you will never know. Take care all of ya. Lynn

I'm confused.....so as soon as I get the dogs tended and wrangle myself a shower, I'll give this thread a read.
Its not the size of the dog in the fight, its the size of the fight in the dog.

Save for a select few, I think I'd board the jet instead.
