Think about how you would feel if someone wouldn't forgive you for something you were truly sorry about. You can be sure by giving them the benefit of the doubt the first few times, then you can be skeptical.

He apologized. That's how you know he's sorry. I missed taping a show for my daughter the other night after she asked me to do it. I felt so terrible but there was nothing I could do about it. However, the next time I need to do something like that, I will set a timer or have some similar reminder that something needs to be done. You have issues with trust. You need to trust people until they prove they are not worthy of it.

If your friend has a really busy life he may have truly forgotten and is really sorry. A lot of people say that they are sorry out of courtesy and only half mean it.
I'd say forgive him, but if he continues doing it forget him as a real friend.

Forgiveness of others is one of the most freeing experiences we can have.
If, on the other hand, you like how it feels to carry a grudge around, go for it

WELL HIS ACTIONS WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. MANY PEOPLE THINK ALL THAT IS NEEDED IS SAYING THE MAGIC WORDS "I'M SORRY" YET THEIR BEHAVIOR DOESN'T CHANGE. THIS MEANS THEY ARE NOT TRULY SORRY. YOU DESERVE ACTIONS NOT EMPTY WORDS. WHEN YOU TRUST IN SOMEONE WHO IS UNRELIABLE IT IS LIKE A CLOUD WITH NO RAIN IN IT. IT JUST LOOKS LIKE IT HAS SOMETHING TO OFFER. SUCH PEOPLE CAN WASTE YOUR VALUABLE TIME IF YOU LET THEM.
GOD BLESS.

why would you think he is lying has he done it before? just tell him that you did not think his "sorry" was heart felt and if he wants to do this thing with you are not!!

You have to take him at his word..so go ahead and believe him until you find out something different.

Not what they say, but what they do. If his behavior changes, cool. If not, then you know for sure.
