How can i get over a crush on a coworker and get him back as a friend?

Question

Last week i told a guy friend of mine at work that it would be better that we didn't talk so i can get over my crush on him since he's in a long distance relationship with another girl, as a matter of fact, she's in the Phillipines and he's here in the US. Before this happened, we joked around about hooking up, but then i felt bad and hurt about us joking about it. I told him that i really wanted to do it since i like him, but he has a gf and that it wouldn't be wise if we did it. Anyway, i got angry with him since he didn't respond back to me after I texted him Happy New Year's and I ended up sending him another text calling him a "dog" and that i didn't want to have anything to do with him, then later i apologized via text. Then the next day , I wrote him a letter telling him how i felt hurt about us joking around, and the fact we just treat each other as professionals. He's ignoring me altogether, no hello, excuse me, thank you, nada and it's really awkward.

Answer 1

honestly time heals all. give him some time to cool off. after a while things won't be as wierd any more and then maybe you guys will start talking again. havin a long distance relationship
is really hard and stressful. maybe he's upset wit himself for even thinking bout bein unfaithful to his girl.
