Have you ever confessed attraction towards someone then got ignored?

Have you ever confessed your attraction towards someone you've been flirting around with, gone a few dates (or someone you were friends that you were crushing on) then suddenly that person became very distant towards you and stopped talking to you? Do you think things would be different if you would've kept your mouth closed?

this has happened to me a few times. so much, that I feel that I will never ever verbally express my feelings towards a female no matter how much I believe I think she likes me.

one instance was back in high school. I had a big crush on a girl but we didn't have any classes together. I talked to her a few minutes outside of class everyday but I didn't flirt with her (which was my mistake). I told her friend that I liked her and to tell her that I did, for I can know if she felt that same way. well, she didn't and she stopped talking to me. it seemed like she was avoiding me. it was my fault really, I was pretending to be only a friend while my true feelings was much more, and I wasn't being honest.

another instance was last year. I was flirting around heavily with a girl I met locally online (we knew a few mutual friends). we hung out a few times, flirted around a lot, and things got kinda crazy through texting and Facebook messages (lots of sexts and teasing from her). after two failed attempts of trying to sexual escalate things with her whenever we hung out at my house, I told her I was respected her that she told me 'no', and that she turned me on. after that she stopped talking to me. at first she was very needy towards me, texting me everyday, wanting to hangout almost every other day etc. but now I think maybe she just liked me a friend and my confession scared her.

what about you? have you ever confessed attraction towards someone then having that person avoid you or ignore you? If you kept your mouth shut and expressed things non-verbally do you think things would have been different?
