From Friendship to Like to Nil

I crossed the line and now I am paying back. It took two to tango but the other party is doing good ignoring the fact that there was something between us, something real.

I waited three months to ignore him when I see him online. Three months to not talk to him, hoping I would forget about him and the "fling" that we had. Finally, after three months, I mustered enough courage to say hi to him on Messenger. The conversation went like this.

L: hey.
S: hey how are you
L: i'm good. how abt you?
S: tired
L: oh from work, i guess. how is it?
S: i can't talk about my work
L: alright. sorry.
S: as much as i would like to talk about it... i'm not allowed to
L: it's ok. how are u enjoying DC?
S: it's nice. not too bad at all
L: don't you feel scared there?
S: not one bit
L: what a brave soul
S: well i'm off to bed...was just checking if i had any messages. i'll talk to you later
L: alright. good night. bye.

It was just extreme awkwardness. Maybe I should give it another three months. I don't know if I can handle this "Save the Friendship" project. I'll update.
