Did I tell you I accidentally hit on a dude when he was with his girlfriend?
Hope he wasn't hurt. Did you apologize?
Of course I apologized, but not directly.
It's okay to make mistakes, but you should be ready to apologize for them. As soon as you realized that this guy was with his girlfriend, you should have clearly apologized to both of them, right away.
Hey, it was an accident, not premeditated murder!
I understand, but I don't get what you meant by not apologizing directly. Are you waiting for an invitation?
