What do i do now? Long story...

There was this guy at my old work that I had a crush on, but because he was married I was happy to be just a good friend. Then around October I left (due to the fact that I hated the job, not the people) and avoided the place like the plague until the new year. I then text this guy to say hello and he told me he had split from his wife. I then started texting him a little more and he always text back in a flirty manner. I would go in to see him almost every week to say hello etc and we would chat most of the night if he wasn't busy. We also arranged to do something one night.
Then one night we were texting each other and I told him I liked him. He responded wonderfully saying that I was beautiful and had a great smile, and we decided that I would go round to his new place and he'd cook me dinner. Then last week I text him and he didn't reply. Went in to see him when I knew he should be there and he wasn't there. I text him a few more times, but still didn't get a reply. The I was surfing the net and found out that he'd been punched in the back while at his work (he's a security guard). Now this news made me so upset I cried like a baby, (what I didn't mention was that this date would be my 1st). Every time I think about it, it makes my heart ache. Now I don't know what to do? I'm desperate to find out if he's ok, but want to give him a bit of space in case he's really hurt. I've come to terms with the fact that the date won't be happening, but what do I do now?

Is this guy in the hospital? If this was a news story I would call your former place of employment and ask about his condition.

If he is okay then he might just be avoiding your texts and it is time to move on. If he is seriously hurt then you may have to wait for him to recover.
