You've messed up with your girlfriend and you regret it so badly.

You want to apologise but apologising is not an easy task for everyone. And sometimes it's not even enough.

There are, in fact, a lot of variables that can make it harder or easier for you to be forgiven.

Whether you think you still have some hope or not, make sure you play all your cards before giving up, because sometimes she may be waiting for you to show up and be a man!

After all, women want more than a simple 'I'm sorry.'

If you want her back, don't wait for a miracle; man up and win her back!

1. Acknowledge your mistakes

Before making any move, you must know where you're at and where you're going.

You need to acknowledge your mistake and have full empathy of what's going on with her.

Clarify this with yourself first, and then you'll be good to go.

2. Be Honest

If you apologise just for doing it, there's no chance on earth she will believe you.

Women can smell from miles away if you're saying something just to make them happy. So, if you want this to work, don't make it worse.

Be honest, and make sure that you really mean what you are saying.

3. Don't make her wait

Waiting is painful, and you don't want to hurt her twice.

No matter how mad she is, she'll still be there checking your last seen WhatsApp and waiting for a sign from you.

If you need time to figure out what to say and what to do, fine. But once you're done, don't wait too long.

If you made a mistake, there's no reason why you should make her wait.

4. Put your pride apart

We know how proud men can be. But this shouldn't be the case if the girl you've disappointed is someone really special!

So, forget your pride, and show her how much you care without any hesitation!

5. Make her feel special

If you messed up and pushed her away, all you need is to prove her your love and respect.

Get creative and do whatever to see her smile again.

Send her flowers, maybe her favourite ones. Or perhaps an unexpected takeaway, a letter, a gift, and your most honest and sincere apologies.

Nobody is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes.

What's important is to learn from them and make sure they won't happen again, especially when the happiness of someone special else can be affected.

If you find yourself in such a situation, do your best, show your love and make sure you won’t repeat the same mistake again.
