Dear Anyone,
I met a fella a few years ago and would constantly run into him at certain business functions. I was always afraid to approach him for fear I would be brutally rejected. Most recently, I ran into him again, but this time, we actually got together to have supper with colleagues. We seemed to get along, but I was much too nervous to do any one-on-one conversations and rather hoping he would make the "first move". I have a feeling a mutual colleague of ours (who happens to be his close friend) suspected my interest and tried to get us together for a smaller dinner another night. I seemed hopeful, but I think I royally blew it/messed up my chance. He was sitting next to me at the table and I thought I would take the initative to ask him a question, when he readily answered, but then I froze. I was too nervous, and then got really sad when he didn't bother to ask me a question. It'll probably be another year before I see him again. In the meantime, should I try to contact him? I don't know if I should take his not trying to get in touch with me as an indication that he's not interested or felt that I wasn't very into him.
Royal Mess Up!
