Forget your love

[hitest]

I am very sorry to hear about your recent disappointing experience. In my opinion it is time to move on and let this go. I suggest that you give the woman some space and leave her alone. Love is only love if it is reciprocated. If you back away you may be able to rekindle your friendship with your coworker.
Best wishes!

I kid you not. I was with a girl, many years ago, who was going to "slip into something more comfortable" when she got a phone call from a guy wanting to talk about getting married. "I don't want to get married right now", she said.

Inquiring minds need to know:

Did you think twice about continuing on from there?
Did she?




OP

Working with someone in that situation sucks (been there - not the proposal, but a fling). No way around it. Best thing you can do is find someone else and/or demonstrate to her that you are over it and have moved on. Even if you haven't.

If she thinks you still have a thing for her, it's going to be weird and awkward.

This is a big reason why trying to keep this sort of thing away from work is generally a good idea. Easier said than done, sure...
