What do I do?
I was talking to one of my friends, which I am really starting to like, about a house which houses some people that have been known to steal from my neighbors. I made the assumption that they are bad people based on what my neighbors would tell me, but it turns out my friend's father and his family live there. I really hurt her feelings because of it, unintentionally though. She's really upset at me, what should I do?

So your friend's father lives there. That does not change the fact, if indeed it is a fact, that someone living there stole from the neighbors, does it? You are only guilty of spreading gossip, at the worst. At best, you retold a fact. It is most unfortunate that the girl has to suffer the consequences. And if you added more to the story than was told to you, then you need to apologize for that. Explain the facts as you know them and from now on stick to the facts only. She is not responsible for her parents' actions. Good luck.

You should tell her that you're sorry that you made an assumption based on what your neighbor told you. Apologize from the heart and tell her that you really learned something from thus and hope she forgives you.

Apologize to her explaining what happened. Everyone makes mistakes. Buy her candy or flowers as an apology +hinting to her that you like her. If she can't get over it that's her problem and you need to move on. But who wouldn't say no to chocolates?
