How to re-start a friendship/potential relationsp after a fallout?

my friend and i had a fall out based mainly on bad miscommunication. we've been friends for 5 years and gone thru our ups and downs, yet eventually end up talking to one another but this time i'm wondering if i should be the one to call him. desipte feeling hurt. he said he has been extremely busy lately...but hell i dont know how to take that. btw we are "in like" with one another which makes the situation a little more complicated. i can't help but wonder if he is "being busy" entertaining someone else. help!

i think in situations like these you just have to take it day by day. Relationships do fall off sometimes but they can be restored. Just think of it like Hurricane Katrina. It destroyed a whole city but it's slowly being rebuilt and is getting back to how it used to be. That's just how you have to take your relationship with your friend. Over time, he will find less reasons to be resentful and more reason to keep the friendship alive between you too. So hopefully things will go right if you just let them rebuild on it's own. No need to try to force things back together. Things always work better when you give it time.

It's possible, but a bit more likely that the recent miscommunications has made him nervous or reluctant to talk to you. Be brave and talk to him first. Even if it doesn't work out, at least you won't still be wondering.

you get older, you do get busier, but call him.

good friends can go a long time without seeing each other,but keep in touch though.

when you have friends for such a long time they do become family, and sometimes we argue with family, but we still love them.
