Wow, this is a big question. I guess it depends on what you've done. I think the most important thing is to say it like you mean it and follow it up with a Can you forgive me? but like I said it really depends on specific circumstances.

Hey x
Through my experience, the best way of apologising is saying sorry. But it depends what you're saying sorry for.
If it's over a general thing, like a small argument, or getting to a date late, then just say a meaningfull sorry on its own. But if it's something bigger, like forgetting her Birthday/Your Anniversary then you should include a loving gesture, such as flowers or chocolates.
If the flowers don't work, then make her some dinner and make it romantic, then when she gets home she'll really appreciate it and probably forgive you!!
Good luck!

it all depends on what you are apologising for, whether its someting small, or something big.
I would go with the good old fashioned sorry, and really sound like you mean it, and follow this with a nice bunch of flowers.
Good luck

I'm not being smart, but i think it's really important to use the actual words 'I'm Sorry'. So many people say 'i apologise' which doesn't have the same sincerity. Using the S word means that you're actually acknowledging you're at fault.
Depending on the type of partner you have, a small gift or bouquet of flowers might also go a long way. Personally speaking, i love a thoughtful gesture (like booking a massage for me, or cooking me a meal) and it means so much when accompanied by the magic words.
Of course, it also depends on what you're saying sorry for! I guess the gesture should reflect the bad deed??!!
Good luck.

But if that doesnt work maybe cook her dinner with a few candles and a film after. Just tell her how much your sorry and how much you love her thats all she wants to be told. But if she doesnt accept it maybe its just time to forget the past and move on.
