What's the best thing to do?

I already tried apologizing a couple of times, and some other...... unconventional means, but I feel he's still pretty hurt by it.

So what do you guys recommend doing?

(I'd rather not say what it is, but know that it was unintentional)

Ah, theres not much you can do, but try to sort it out with him (as you've already done) and give him some space.

Its inevitable that sometimes friendships go through rough times, I'm sure hes still willing to be friends with you. Just give him a little time to sort his head out, and make it clear that it was an unintentional mistake. I'm sure that things will sort themselves out if you give it a little time, but I can't give you any more advice other than to be patient and do your best.

Good luck with sorting things out! :)

Not much you really can do. Apologise and that's about it.

You'll just end up annoying them if you keep pestering. They need time to cool off :).

Seeing that you had already apologized, you could try making it up to them by doing nice things for them. You know what they like, trying appeasing them.

Bake him a cake :) It's impossible to stay mad at someone when they give you food.

That's pretty much what I was going to say.

Just apologise to them and try to move on. If you keep pestering them about it, they're going to get annoyed and it'll be even more difficult to get through to them. Really, what they need most is time to get over whatever has happened and take things in.

If it's still a problem, then really... just move on from it all together. Difficult to do, yes but the last thing you want to do is to constantly pester them about the issue.

Just apologize and let it go. If he's still mad then just let him cool off for a bit. What is the nature of the insult anyway? That usually helps in dealing with it.

I think you should leave him alone for a bit, let him think things through? As long as he knows you're genuinely sorry.

Well judging from his avatar, exposing him to a particular episode of My Little Pony might work >.>

Try giving him a bit of space... Make sure he knows that you still want to be friends and whatnot, but allowing him some time to ponder the situation on his own might help.
