Lonely, Depressed, and Really Needing of Some Shy Guy Advice Right Now.?

Ok. So, I get it. "He's just not that into me." Alright. But now I'm left with this hole in my heart and I guess I just need to talk it out a bit. Shy guy and I worked in same company, different departments. He was fired (very smart guy, just overwhelmed). He'd help me with some things and we used to flirt a lot (for about five months), but didn't talk much at all, except occasional business. Pretty much in the process of getting to that point when this happened. I looked up his addy and sent him an inspirational gift saying I would be happy if he emailed me. Tracking shows over a week since he got the gift, and I've heard nothing. So, I guess he feels "outta sight outta mind", right? No need to look back and is pretty much leaving everything thing and everyone behind, with relief and good riddance, correct? Perhaps I was a distraction and he considers me part of the blame? (He was at this job abt four years, afterall, and this happened abt five mths after I got involved!) It hurts because of the suddenness, abruptness of it all. We were in the middle of stuff, no closure. And now I do feel somewhat rejected. I know, it's not all about me, but it is somewhat. Just need to hear some thoughts from some shy guys who can make me understand the good, bad, and ugly of it all. If you wouldn't mind, be honest but kind in your estimation of all this. I thank you for your thoughts.

It's funny, because I'm having a similar problem. I don't know what advice I can give, but I know how much it must hurt. If you're anything like me, you'd probably rather your crush just honestly tell you that they're not interested than leave you totally in the dark about how they feel. It's not like you get to see them everyday anymore.

I'm not going to tell you to give up on this guy, but remember to stay open to other opportunities. I know I'll sound like a total optimist saying this, but who knows, maybe someone has a crush on you and has been trying to drop you hints, but has been too shy to come out and say it!
