I used to have a friend that did some bad things including hurting the ones close to him. I am no longer his friend because of this but, he was my best friend and it seems like since he has been gone I just don't have any fun anymore. I want to call him up and tell him that he was dumb for the things he did and ask him if he would be willing to make it all better with everyone. This friend has been there for me through some real tough times and I guess it sucks because, he is not around anymore. I guess what I am asking does anyone know what kind of angle I need to bring to him?

Friends are friends man. If you did something stupid wouldn't you want your friend to be there for you? You either friends or your not...
good friends touch our hearts

the way i see it is you've done the right thing in ceasing to be his friend. people like that cannot be changed by someone else. many women make that mistake of thinking they can change their "bad boy" only to be dealt with the cold hard truth sooner or later.

Just be forward with him and tell him how you feel...especially if you guys were best friends. It would suck to lose a friendship. He has the choice to change. I think he will come around as long as he has someone to help him through it. But this will take some time. Best wishes to friendship.

The left arm around the shoulder half choke hold hug.Just call him up beers and wings at hooters always works

Yes it does suck. He was involved with someone that he had hurt and I just didn't feel it was right so this is the reason why I haven't spoken to him...

My attitude has always been: Screw me once, shame on you...screw me twice, shame on me...

But when push comes to shove...if he refuses to change, I think it's about time to find another friend. That part will be hard...to find someone that comes close to your friend. Hey, if he changes, let him come to you. Only he will know what he's missing. I still think he will come around.

Yea I understand...Thanks for your input..I've actually tried talking to him once before but I could tell that he didn't change at all.He didn't seem like he had any remorse for what he did. I know friends come and go but, he was someone that knew me and could actually understand me I never knew his ex but, I've always been taught never to hurt the ones you hold close to your heart so this is why I think it's wrong...

You're welcome. There are plenty of friends out there...even if you have to come online (LOL).

Haha!!
