This sux, ok..let me begin, there this girl i like for 7months, i did not tell her at all(but i was planning to ask her out after our exams), let say we are pretty close but sometimes there will be long slience in our chat. So on the 30th of oct, i sms her, if i could walk her home from school on 31th of oct(last day of sch). So she reply, "u msg correct?". i told her yes, but she said she looking teacher for help in her preparation for the O'lvl. so i say "ok nvm."
However, the next morning, i saw her walking alone to sch, i alight one stop eariler and waited for her and then walk with her to sch. We talk with some laughter. Then at night, she e-mailed me, asking me why the sudden walking with her, and carried on saying she just want me to be friends only (rejection lar). She added that dun make her avoid me. Of cos heartbroken, i tell her the truth, and stupidly said "if you want to avoid me, by all means." and now i regret it! after some thinking, i decided to give her up, but! she now avoiding me! furthermore, we belong to a same group of friends, so next time if we went out, it going to be very jia lat!. and now i am thinking to write a letter of apology to her, telling her that we could remains friend and i will forget her. the question is, shld i write it?

A young love is often reckless; only time and reflection will make them discover how silly they were. Nobody could escape this early fate.
She hinted to you that her relationship with you could not proceed anywhere further than normal friends. In heat of being rejected, you blurted the go-on-and-avoid-me-then thingy - you indirectly stepped onto her trigger which made perform exactly what you asked her. She showed you the land mine - you activate it.

Write her a letter saying that you will remain friends and you will forget her? Is there a link? Chances are, such content will not improve situations. My suggestion to you is that the letter must contain message which state:
I) Took some time to think over things
II) Great friend you have there; decide to respect her wishes and remain good friends. Like always.

III) Forget about writing things like forget her kind of thing. According to my experience, these words and content never really work.
If you want to forget - there is no such need to tell her. And later on, if you can't, you are breaking your own words and putting yourself in bad light.
P.S: Letter itself must be conjunct with other tools to make your solutions effective - mainly body language and feel. When you see her outside, react and act as normal. You have to lead her - in a sense where you feel that you are behaving what you wrote to her, a friendship like before and better. Even if she acted weird and avoid, be generous about it and lead your usual self.
