Tips on restoring a relationship is a fellow bro?

[Roobik]

Hey so I had this Asian friend called Sangho and we were friends for about three years and by the end I began hanging out with the wrong group (stereotype: the plastics) and started taking advantage of my relationship with him. I started teasing him a lot more, began neglecting him, egnoring him... And my actions parted us. We didn't communicate for atleast a year, I lost all his contact info. "I was blid but now I see", I can see that I've was sorounded but the wrong people and that illusion made me lose a valuable friend. I have been thinking about it and I would like to reconnect with him a continue where we left off, to do this I need to show him that I am my old me again and I deserve a secod chance. If my subject was a female then this would be easy but in this case I'm dealing with a bro and I have no idea how to make it up to him, I was this thinking of buying him an iPod but that's sort of too much What can I do to restore my relationship with him?

Firstly, I guess you're typing this either tiredly or on an iPhone or something, re-read it lol.

Secondly, I'd suggest speaking to him and being as honest as you are with us now. Say you realized what you done and say how much you miss him (no homo). Remind him of the good times, and make the conversation about him don't talk about you unless he asks you to. No need to buy him back I don't think, materialistic actions isn't the way to get back a friend.

Yea I'm on an iPhone, I'll edit op when I get a chance on a computer. You are right and gifts wouldn't buy him back and instead we should talk. But I still don't know how I can get his attention, I'll how to track him down and invite him somewhere.

Well, this might not be so easy. You probably hurt his feelings a lot, so don't expect to pick up where you left off.
You should try and start talking to him again, explaining that you were in the wrong and that you are ashamed of how you acted. It's gonna take a lot of apologizes from you to make him want to pick up where you left off. I think you should try and do some sweet things for him to show him you do, in fact, care about him and want to reconnect with him. I understand how easy it is to associate yourself with the wrong group and thus, make mistakes you normally wouldn't make. I hope that you will be able to reconnect with him and if you need any more advice, feel free to ask. I am pretty good at giving relationship advice and all of my friends usually come to me for these type of problems. Anyways, best of luck to you.
