Y’all I am so EMBARRASSED 😭

I started talking to this guy from my old job. I had a crush on him for a few months and then I put in my two week notice. He ended up taking over my position and I had to train him before I left and I was so happy since I’d get to be around him and hopefully work up the courage to ask for his number. (I played it cool tho. I’m shy) Well on my last day he asked for mine! I was so excited. He text me that night and we had texted non stop for a couple months and then he told me he didn’t want to date me because it was weird how I liked him so soon and seemed like I was getting attached after only a few months. I wasn’t obsessive or anything in my opinion. I asked to hangout maybe once a week, didn’t pressure him to text me back, never really told him how much I liked him or anything but when we were together I would hold his hand and just try to get to know him. Now I’m embarrassed as fuck and feel like a creep. We live in a tiny town and I just don’t want to show my face anywhere in town anymore. I just liked him and got excited since I rarely like anyone. I’m 26 and he’s 28.
