First things first, you should know the cause or causes of your misunderstanding! Take action immediately, don't postpone it, you might not get reconciled. If the other person is not making a move for reconciliation, then make the move ahead if you treasure your friendship. Swallow your pride, be humble and be open-minded. Listen to your friend then say what you have to say. Be careful with your words, you might hurt her again and you'll never be friends again.

Sometimes the best thing is to just forget what happened and start over as if it never happened. I know it is easier said than done. With my best friend we cant stand being mad at eachother at all. Normally what happens is we both end up callingthe other and appologizing even if we were the one who was right and we cry it off and all is good again.

Find out what's wrong. Then go clear it up. If you treasure the friendship, you can always take the first step. ;-)

When I have a misunderstanding with a friend or anyone I try to clarify things. I call them or I go to see them and try to talk about it.

I think this really depends on what happened that caused the disagreement. Sometimes it's best just to let it go. Sometimes if you were really wrong you should apologize. Honestly for me, if it is a really true friend of mine even if I'm right I will just let it go. Because what does being angry really get me anyway? More miserable feelings.

Talk it out with your friend, it helps a LOT. It is common to have misunderstandings when you are very close to a person, so just clear it out. If you are true in your heart about whatever it was then you shouldn't worry about standing by it. Hope this misunderstanding is cleared up soon:)

but what if i have already reconciled with her and said i'm sorry for the things i have done and still she don't speak to me the way it was before? can we still be ok with each other.. my another friends said that i have already done my part -to say sorry. once is ok, twice is enough and thrice is too much..

very easy to regain the love...if the mistake is urs then obey it...if the mistake is frm ur frnd/lover then also say sorry for ur mistake...if he really needs u and loves u and cares u he will say sorry immediately...and u will never get any misunderstanding again...u should be cool...
