    im just wondering if you ever piss off your girlfriend or boyfriend i would like to know what would be an acceptable sorry, do we have to say sorry and explain it to them why in details or can we just say a simple sorry but we actually mean it?
     
  2. best way to say sorry is to get her a diamond ring :p

    I don't think the "way" matters as much as the fact that you realize what exactly pissed him/her off -- since the realization indicates that "you will try not to piss him/her off next time around (for the same reason)". I personally do not like to explain or to be explained to -- it will cast too may grey areas and sound like excuses -- so a sincere apology will do.
    Just my 2 cents -- best of luck to you.

    how the girl will react to the different senerios is hugely dependant on her personality, therefore you have to really know that person to know what is the best way to "tum" her happy



    one thing, do not blame anyone else, especially her
    take ALL the blame, sometimes if your over exaggerate your sadness (of making someone unhappy) it she may start taking pity on how bad you feel.
    no excuses, even if you have them, while in an argument, to say sorry, no excuses
    if you want to share your pain and annoyance, go ahead and tell her later, when the fight if over and everything is ok
    being a good gf, she should listen, but during an argument, the brain will shut off to reason
    if she wont listen to you talking about the problem, even after the argument (you might want to think about how much she cares about YOUR feelings)


    sorry that all my is directed to girlfriends, but i'm a girl, it's easier to give advice that you more understand

    lol .. a sincere apology goes a long way.. If it was minor then I dont think the reason would be necessary to state. If you got her really mad, then you might want to tell her the reason, I guess.

    yeah it really depends on the situation, just make sure it's sincere, and it comes from the heart cause yeah she'll definitely be even more upset if she knows you were just apologizing to make her feel better.
