How to Win Someone Back Over Text Message

Remember back before there were apps and you had to, like, do things on your own? Shudder, am I right? A little over a week ago, I showed you what it looked like to dump someone over text using the Breakup Text's app to compose the let-down message for you, so of course today I had to test my best friend's patience by trying to win her back using its new sister app, Makeup Text. The creators evidently felt bad about all the relationship destruction of their first venture, so they made this one for amends.

Here's my selected example of a poetically uncomfortable attempt to get back together with my bestie after getting kidnapped by Russians: This time, she didn't even bother to ask for an explanation. But seriously, have you ever actually tried to win anyone back? What did you say? *9 Signs
