You know when you've had a falling out with a friend, but one of those where you're still talking rather than vowing never to set eyes on each other any more? Is it best to address the issue and get it all out in the open or let it lie?

I'm of the former frame of mind but am a font of stupid ideas currently so thought I'd see the consensus.

how serious was the falling out and was it over an issue that can't be resolved without fighting/an elaborate plan to break into somewhere exciting/swapping wifes?

If its a solvable issue then you need to talk to solve it.

If its insolvable then can you ignore it to save the friendship or is the friendship over?

Bloke: Resolve issue with fight, be best friends for ever.

Girl: Talk about it but secretly hate each other for ever.

if you're different sexes from each other then get drunk and go for it

How long ago was the falling out... even a bit of time passing can dramatically affect how you feel about things.

Did you have a few beers and try to snog him? We need some idea of the crime.

It seems clear to me that one of you needs to assert your authority in the relationship.

I have a tip, but I fear that some may not understand.

Go round to his and kick the back door in to let him know who's boss I say.

Glorious.

Sadly it's all a little dull. No undying declarations of love or short term passion, just one drunk person not opening their mouth when a friend would have. Attempted apology in the days after but after bumping into each other (work day, no chance to talk), it's clear there's something not right. Still only happened a couple of weeks back. Consensus seems to be, talk about it.

Indeed talk about it, whats too loose? Seems like you've lost the ability to talk to a mate..
Thats a loss in my eyes..
The gain if you talk about it is you get your mate back..

Where theres a will, theres a way.

Is this a girlie thing? You need to go out for girlie lunch, talk about it then end up smiling at each other and never talking or evil-ling each other for ever after, either way the relationship is already screwed forget it and move on.

You're a bloke? Just ****ing apologise, it'll all be forgotten the next day. (If it's your fault), if it's not, clock him then apologise = same result
