writes:I did a stupid thing and lied to my best friend. First I lied about getting free clothes from a store for him, when I really bought them for him as gifts. He eventually found out, about 6 months later. He got very upset at me and refused to talk to me. After about 3 weeks, we started to communicate and became very close friends again. Then I made a stupid mistake and lied to him about going to buy a dog. I actually am planning to buy a dog, but not until next year after my holiday. He has once again stopped communicating with me. Is there a way for me to regain his trust? Or did I mess up so badly, I've lost my best friend?

 So you said these clothes were free but really you bought them for him, he's mad about that why? Then you were going to get him a dog, but failed to mention it wasn't going to be later..and now he's mad about that, how petty. What kind of gifts has he given you? Sounds like there's more to the story than you're telling. If he's getting mad over these gifts then he doesn't sound like that great of a friend to begin with. You shouldn't have to buy someone's friendship.

You could have fixed that by making up an excuse or simply saying you had decided to wait a little bit. But anyways, that is hardly a reason to end a friendship. If he doesn't want to be your friend because of such a stupid little thing which doesn't even concern him, than he has a problem.

 These seem like very petty things to fall out over. Either you were trying to impress him as you have some sort of romantic interest in him, or you were just blurting things out. We all do that, but you need to tell him your reasons behind these little lies. You've not done anything to hurt him, but if it's bothering you, talk to him and explain yourself. Good luck hun
