an acknowledgment of their wrongdoing and for them to understand the reason why they did what they did. no one is perfect, you will just have to hope that the person you hurt can understand that. It might take some time to forgive. Just don't give up on them.

Well, based on your post, I'm assuming that this person didn't do something drastically bad, or you would not be considering giving him/her a second chance.
Question: Have you ever messed up or made a mistake?
Question: Would you like the person you offended to forgive you?
My best advice is this:
If this person didn't do something really bad, and you really value the friendship of that person, then forgive. I'm not saying that you should continue taking it on the chin. But go ahead and give that person the benefit of the doubt, give that second chance, and forgive. And if that trust is violated again, then sever the friendship, because it would show a pattern of dishonesty towards you.

I would have to be able to forget what they did. If the person had done something that was forgiveable and forgettable. That's the only way. Otherwise, whenever we would have a disagreement, that incident would come out of nowhere inside my head and I would use it as ammunition.

If he opened up to me first of all. i mean he was willing to talk to me and show me interest. and his actions, what is he willing to do. what does he have to offer me. then i would sit back and look at what he really does. if his words matched his actions. if he says i miss u-then is he calling me often to talk. if he says i love you-is he spending time with me. does he answer his phone when i call. things he didn't do before, he would start to do. then after all that i would consider taking him back if i was sure he meant what he was saying. but he would have serious work to do to get what i have to offer.

I would need pretty strong evidence that this person had truly changed in a major way.

Communication, talking, discussing, apologies and depending on the "mess up", counseling....if you/he really want it to work.
