Ghosted by fling at work

About 6 months ago I started a fling with a guy at work, different team but same office. There has been lots of messaging, kissing, intimate contact but we have only actually had sex once.

He has always been a bit hot and cold with but as time has gone on my feelings for him have intensified but clearly his feelings for me have not.

Just after Christmas he was messaging me lots, kissing me etc and saying we must meet up property again soon. All of a sudden straight after that he just went silent on me. The messages I sent to him about meeting up went ignored. I've been feeling pretty upset by this as have seen him around the office etc but he still hasn't replied. He doesn't acknowledge me at work.

A couple of days ago, after a month of no contact from him I sent him a message asking how he was and saying that I missed him. And still nothing from him.

To be honest i am struggling with how upset and worthless this makes me feel. Not only that I find it so rude and unnecessary to just ghost me, especially as we have to see each other every day!

I'm perceived by him and everyone as nice and quiet and sweet... wouldn't say boo to a goose etc and I think he thinks he can just treat me like this without repercussions.

I will give him a bit of time to see if he does actually respond but if not I want to call him out on his behaviour and tell him I think he is a coward for ghosting me. Is it wrong to do that? It will make me feel so much better and in control of the situation. I think he needs to be told and I think it will help me move on.

I agree. Any perceived iciness just spells out wounded. :-/

Just be your actual self OP.
Dont bother switching on a "super self"

Does that make HIM wounded ? Hmm

WellHolyGodMiley · 30/01/2020 17:14

Sorry on phone here. I did read back and think i could have added in "that she is" in between out and wounded. But id pressed send. Figured it was fairly obvious!

So by me blanking him = I am wounded. But what does that make him? He has been blanking me since Christmas.... are you saying he is wounded too?

Personally I don't think it does spell out wounded, more like... I don't give a shit! Because that is the impression I get from him!

It makes him an arse!

A cowardly arse. But if you didnt give ashit you would forget to be icy to him.

Disney4me · 30/01/2020 17:28

I know.... but unfortunately I still do "give a shit" so just trying to fake it till I'm over it at the moment.

@WellHolyGodMiley is right. If you're overly nice with everyone else then go icy on him you'll just look like you're still upset. The best revenge is to be overly nice to everyone including him!

GiveHerHellFromUs · 30/01/2020 17:30

To clarify, because it'll mean he's no better than any of them and means no more than they do. And that you were only nice to him because you're a nice person, not because you gave a shit.

He's a knob OP..
