And they would probably like to hear from you.<br />Don't worry about what they might think.<br />And don't worry if they still hate you or are carrying a grudge.<br />Simply give them a call and say something like this: "Hey, this is ______ (fill in your name), and it's been a while since we've seen each other. Since then, I've grown up and matured a bit, and realize my actions in the past may have caused you some pain. I'm sorry and would like to apologize in person. Would you be open to meeting me Tuesday at 4:00pm at the Big Oak Restaurant on Downey St." (Or something to that nature.)<br /><br />If they are open to meeting you, they will set a time with you.<br />And if they are not interested, they'll let you know that too. At least you tried to reconnect - and you've passed the ball back in their court - either way, you are free to move on with your life - free of wishing you'd had the courage to make the call.<br /><br />Don't spend your life harboring ill will and regret of a relationship that could have been. Take responsibility today to correct it.<br /><br />-Angela<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10814948-112551732562274368?l=mentalwellness.blogspot.com'/></div>Angela Brownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07023914007772120344noreply@blogger.com
