Losing a friend

A male coworker of mine asked me out 7 months ago and I gently turned him down. He’s a nice guy but I’m just not in the right place right now to be in a relationship. Ever since turning him down our relationship has changed. He doesn’t really talk or joke around with me anymore. The only interaction we have at work anymore is good morning and goodbye. It makes me sad that we don’t talk anymore.


Now he’s dating another girl at our work and our interactions are fewer then what they were. Especially when his gf is around he doesn’t talk or even hold eye contact with me. What can I do to fix this?


To be honest I like him but we both have bad depression and anxiety so I didn’t think our relationship would be healthy. The between us has been slowly driving me insane. I’m not sure what to do.

I'm sorry to hear that your relationship with your co-worker has changed.  I'm sure that is really hard.  

I'm glad you posted and shared what you are going through.  What have you considered to open the door of communication again with your co-worker?  Have you considered talking to him about missing your chats at work?  I imagine it would be really difficult to reach out to him with the changes in him even not making eye contact.
