Us and some other people from work went out at the weekend and I made a comment about her boyfriend, saying she can do better, he's 10 years older than her and I just thought his personality won't compliment hers because me and her get on really well and he's obviously really mature and taking life a lot more serious than I am. I was texting her tonight and she asked me why I said that, so I basically said I thought you'd have a lot more fun with somebody younger because you'd have more in common, enjoy the same things etc. And also said it wasn't my place to comment because I don't actually know him, only seen pictures and said I was sorry. Now I really don't want her to stop being mates with me over something I should have said because I enjoy talking to her and stuff at work, any tips on how I can explain myself better without making it look like I'm in any way making fun of her boyfriend? thanks.

She is in a relationship, and apparently happy with him. Don't bring it up again and the tension created over your misspoken comments will disspiate soon enough.
