Search Results: possible not to forget a guy

There is this very attractive man at my work who seemed somewhat interested in me. He would always stare and attempt to start a conversation, but never seemed to have enough confidence to do so. I know I'm not the most approachable person, but I was really hoping he would muster enough courage to talk to me, because I'm to afraid to approach him. This has been going on for a couple months now.

Around the last week of December, I attempted to tell him, indirectly, that I was interest in him, by telling my co-worker/friend about a cute guy in that department... just loud enough for him to hear. He got the message and tried to talk to me later that day. However, I fucked up. As he approached, I suddenly forgot how to speak English and my heart was beating so fast, so I ended up ignoring him.
I felt so bad for humiliating him and I honestly cried over this incident.

Now, he would stare at me from afar, but go out of his way to avoid me. I know I just ruined a possible relationship, and I don't want to lose him. It's been three weeks now and I'm afraid he's going to move on to another girl. I plan on apologizing to him today for ignoring him and telling him that I actually like him. I don't know if he would want to talk to me, but I really do want to fix this. Should I tell him or leave him alone?

Are you good at forgiving others? Or are you someone who has a harder time letting go? Do you think you hold grudges more?

Just to remind you guys that forgiving does not mean forgetting either. It is possible to forgive but never let something happen again.

Also, forgiving someone doesn't necessarily mean they deserve it, but that you deserve peace.

So, which one is it for you?
