One thing you should avoid is apologizing to the guy over text, Facebook, email, or any other way that doesn't require you to be there in person. Making the effort in person shows that you actually care and that you're not a coward. Of course, if there are special circumstances, like you and the guy are hundreds of miles apart, then a phone call may be best, but you should stay strong and apologize in person to show he's worth the effort. If you apologize online or over text, then the guy will think you don't really care enough to put in the time and effort. If you don't apologize in person, then the guy may not even respond. This is never a good tactic. Sure, you may be anxious to know whether or not the guy is mad at you, but asking him if that's the case time and time again is guaranteed to make things worse. Though you may think that asking him a lot will make him move on faster, it'll actually make it take longer for him to get over it because he'll be getting a constant reminder of what happened. The truth is, when he really stops being mad, then you'll instinctively know it. Asking a million times won't change a thing. If you really want the guy to stop being mad at you, then don't give him the lame apology where you make it clear that you're only apologizing so he'd stop being mad at you. Don't say, "I guess I should apologize," or say "I'm sorry" in a passive aggressive way. Instead, make it clear that you're sincere in your feelings and in your regrets. If you apologize while clearly not meaning it, that won't get you anywhere. Make eye contact, turn your body toward the guy, and let him see how much pain you're in when you apologize. Don't make excuses for your behavior, either. Own up to whatever happened. Another thing you should avoid is trying to hash things out with the guy at the wrong time. Don't try to talk to him before he has something important to do, like to pitch in a baseball game, go on a job interview, or take a test. Make sure you talk to him when he seems not stressed and approachable. You should also avoid asking if he's mad in front of others; if you're not making the effort to talk to him one-on-one, it shows a lack of seriousness. If you're asking the guy during a bad time, then he'll already be annoyed that you didn't put more thought into when to have the conversation, so you'll be starting off on the wrong foot. Of course we all hate knowing that someone is mad at us. That said, if the guy is really fuming, then you shouldn't try to reconcile with him that same day. Give him a few days, or maybe even a few weeks, to cool off before you feel like you can talk and be friends again. If you try to talk to him right away, then he won't be ready to listen and will get more and more annoyed and angry. It can be hard to be patient in these situations, but you have to learn to do just that. Find a way to keep yourself occupied until the guy is ready to talk. In the meantime, you can even focus on exactly what you wanted to say to him.

Summary: Don't apologize over text or online. Don't ask him if he's still mad a million times. Don't give the fake apology. Don't pick the wrong time to have a conversation. Don't try to fix things too soon.
