Best Answer

People expect an apology for many reasons. The "injured" party feels that an apology is recognition from the instigator that he/she did something that was not acceptable. By doing so, the "injured" party is making the instigator feel guilty, thus lowering his/her self confidence. As a result, the "injured" party feels superior and his/her confidence is increased. Another reason why people expect an apology is for an emotional recognition of feeling accepted and wanted. Others belive that an apology will heal all wounds. The last reason is quite irrational, but commonly accepted among those who want an apology.

You have annoyed your crush. how can you get him to talk to you again?

That depends on whether he is rightfully annoyed or not. You don't say how his annoyance arose. If you have something to apologise for, and you are sorry for it, then apologise. If his annoyance is unjustified, let him stew. Do not apologise for something you did not do, or to which he is misreacting.
