Hi all.
I need some advice. I've tried talking to my friends about it but they keep telling me the same thing "he's a jerk, forget about him." Most of them are also single so I just feel like they don't understand.
So here's my story. I've been dating a guy for a few months now. We were co-workers ( no one except about 2 poeple new that we were dating and i no longer work for the company) and he had pursued me for over a year until I finally got over my "I don't want to date co-workers" feelings and realzied that there was something there between us.
Anyways things started off great, hanging out all the time, talking all the time, laughing all the time, and he was nothing but respectful, ect. But he had a reputation around the office for being a ladies man so I always had that in the back of my head.
If I ever brought up the reputation he had he would say that he didn't understand why people thought that about him and if he had ever talked in the past it was in a joking manner because he was around the guys and trying to fit in. Also, he had said that he thinks people were trying to keep us apart because alot of guys in the office thought I was attractive.
He even told one of my female co-workers that he really wanted this to work out with me and some other good stuff. She told me all this.
Well, to make it a long story short someone else in the office found out we were dating and told me that he was telling a lot of people. I confronted him about this and was very upset because I didn't want anyone to know until I was officially not working there anymore. I told him how frustrated I was and that I didn't know about him anymore.
He immediately went to the source of the rumor and it was cleared up.
He in fact didn't say anything. So I appologized immediately and asked him if we could still be friends. (Did me saying this make him think I just wanted to be friends?)He said yes but the thing is this was a week ago, I just left the company, and he hasn't tried to contact me. I even had a "goodbye" party which all of his good friends came to but not him. This upset me and I think he should of had come at least for a little while.
What do you think is going on? Please help! Thanks!

PG's 2 cents:

Usually when people don't wish to make contact it's because...

1. THEY'RE EMBARRASSED BY A PAST SITUATION
or
2. THEY DON'T WANT TO LEAD YOU INTO BELIEVING THERE'S THE POSSIBILITY OF SOMETHING REALLY SERIOUS DEVELOPING!

Try applying one (or both) of these and you'll have your answer.
