Learn about how to make up with your girlfriend when you are in the dog house. Be prepared to do a little groveling if you really want to make up with your girlfriend. It also will depend on how badly you screwed up or how heated the argument got. It may not be as easy as going out and picking up some flowers and a cute little teddy bear to make up with your girlfriend. She will want you to be genuinely sorry for your part in the argument so don’t allow your ego to get in the way of that. Be a little more creative when you are trying to get back in her good graces. Do something unexpected; make it hard for your girlfriend to resist your efforts to make with her.

What you will need:

  • Creativity
  • Love/kindness
  • Humility
  1. Cook her favorite foods. If she’s used to you cooking then she will be impressed by you cooking a meal for her. Now if you can’t even boil rice, trying to cook for your girlfriend will definitely work in your favor. Choose some of her favorite dishes and find the recipes for them. Have the candles lit, the table laid out and the food warming on the stove when she walks in. Of course, if this is too much work, pick up a nice meal from a restaurant she has never been to. Take the food out of the containers, put it in some nice trays, toss the restaurant containers and dirty up a few of your own dishes; give the illusion that you actually cooked. She will be eating out of the palms of your hands and ready to make up with you.

  2. Write her an apologetic poem. Girls are always into the mushy stuff, and writing your girlfriend a poem will warm her heart. You don’t have to be a poet to write something from the heart. You can always borrow the words of a true poet to convey your thoughts. Make sure it’s a poem about apologies, love or forgiveness. Once she reads your poem, there will only be one thing left to do: make up.

  3. Do her laundry. Nothing says sorry like the smell of fresh clean towels coming out of the dryer. Your girlfriend will surely be ready to make up with you if you did her laundry. For a little added bonus, fold her laundry up as well. She’ll be all over you if you took care of some of her chores.

  4. Treat her to a spa day. What girl could possibly stay mad at her boyfriend after he has treated her to a day of pampering and relaxation. Before the day is over, she may not even remember what she was mad about in the first place.

  5. Take her out to a place she wants to go to. The ultimate way to seek forgiveness from your girlfriend is by taking her somewhere she wants to go to, but one that she knows you dread going. Females in general are always trying to drag their boyfriends somewhere they don’t want to go. You see if you take her somewhere she has been begging you to go with her, what else could she do besides forgive you? She will see you are genuinely sorry and trying to make up with her.
