So there's this crush I've been having, he's an important business partner. I confessed to him via private chat on WhatsApp because the conversation via (business) telephone prior to it sounded like it was the right time to do so. We had a very close relationship work-wise and we got along a bit too well personally.
I told him about my feelings: "Hey, you know if I wasn't so afraid, I had told you that I would like to get to know you better, privately, so we can get to know each other behind the business-partner-facade, but only if you feel the same way. But as I'm too chicken, I cannot say it out loud so I just think to myself..."
He had always responded quickly and never left me on read - but he did this time. I have my "read" notifications turned off on WhatsApp, but I was so sure he read it this time.
He then acted so out of his skin and ignored me even work-wise, didn't call, didn't email; yet he did email my supervisor with me only being SOMETIMES in Cc and certain things HE would have asked from ME were sent by his colleague. Yet we had contact in some way nearly daily.
I sent the message last Thursday evening and then deleted it at noon/ in the afternoon on Friday because I thought "fuck it, long absent and soon forgotten".
Also I was somewhat waiting for a response to my "happy holidays" texts: A business card, two Christmas cards I sent him personally but he said he never received them (I sent one and then another one because I thought it got lost in the mail but he also didn't react), a personal business mail directed to him, his colleague and his boss and a "mailing" to all of our main clients, including him and his company. (I had reasons for having that many holiday greetings.)
He didn't even respond ONCE all this time. But when our boss sent him greetings, he replied with a WHOLE FKN NOVEL, to the boss and my supervisor only (I was shown afterwards.)
I wouldn't make such a fuss normally but he's the type of person who always replies instantly to an email or a text, with sometimes only having to "wait" an hour at max. Also I was used to him always being there for me as I was for him.
I also receive my work mails on my cellphone so I saw his mail today with him sending me some stuff he needs with an "Oh and merry Christmas!" at the end of the mail. His mail came way after working hours.
Call me salty but either he read it and ghosted me or there's this HUGE COINCIDENCE that he hasn't read it and just behaved out of character because..... weather.
He had sent an email or two in between regarding work stuff but didn't call or anything.
Either he doesn't feel the same way, or he didn't believe what I wrote him, or he was overwhelmed or... etc. (or he is too chicken to admit because of work)
I honestly have no idea.
