Tips for reviving ties in case of broken friendship

Our heart bleeds when we break up with our closest of pals. We do not have peace of mind when we suddenly stop talking to our best friends following an unwanted situation or misunderstandings. We may occasionally bump into our friends at all the odd places but we somehow do not get the courage to go up and speak to them. But inwardly we feel extremely bad about it. If we break up with our school or college friends, then we really go through a very rough time. We do not want to snap ties with our dear friends who have stood by us in all our trouble. We try to find different ways to revive our lost bond with our friends.
Our life is not the same anymore when we break up with our friends, who are almost indispensable for us in whatever we do. We need them in whatever we do and feel out of place when that friendship is lost.

Here's a quick checklist to regain that broken friendship--

# One of the quickest ways to revive that old friendship is calling up your friend. Tell him/her that you are really sorry for all that you have done, if you are responsible for the breakup. Once you say sorry, he or she cannot remain estranged for a long time. In case your friend is not picking up the call, go ahead and send a text message saying that you are sorry for your actions.
# You can suddenly land up at his/her place and give them a surprise with a bouquet of flowers, and add a note reminding them of your undying love and affection for them. This will surely break the ice and revive old bonds.
# Insist of meeting up with your friend at some coffee shop, restaurant, or a place which they prefer, and talk openly about the matter. Remember, that most matters are resolved by open and frank conversation and your friends will surely respond if you clearly explain the cause of your disagreement.
# Cook your friend's favorite dish at home and invite him/her for dinner. Leave a sweet text message on their phone saying that you are waiting for them, and do up your home with all their favorite items and photos which reminds them your lost friendship. They are most likely to get emotional.
# If you cannot gather enough courage to call up your friend and say that you are sorry, then you can also send an email, or a nice card with pictures, which speaks volumes about your harmony and friendship. Leaving a message in their answering machine is also a great idea; after all, who does not want to hear a live voice of their friend!
Remember, your friends forgive you at the slightest opportunity and do not want to break up forever. They also need you as much as you need them.
