This happened to me at my last job. This one girl never spoke to me, didn't look at me, and pretty much ignored me. Everyone else was at least courteous enough to say hello and ask how I was doing.

When I saw one of the managers about a month later, she said the girl had a crush on me. I told her that she ignored me for 3 months and I assumed she was stuck up.

The moral, aloof doesn't work, especially if you're female. No one with an ounce of self-respect is going to approach someone that has ignored them for a significant period of time.

Perhaps she was just really shy? Not everyone that seems aloof is doing it on purpose.

That's what I was going to say. Maybe the OP should have introduced himself or said hi.

There's no way for a guy to know. Everyone else had no problem starting a conversation. If I'm ignored, I assume stuck up, not interested. She lost out.

Everyone else introduced themselves. Not to mention when she left one day and I said good bye, she mumbled bye under her breath. I should have included that part in my OP.

You know what they say about assuming - don't you?

When I was younger - I was painfully shy. And yes - I probably lost out on a lot of things. And yes - I knew that. It's not like I was happy - I was just really shy and insecure. I'm glad I'm not like that anymore but I feel for people who are.

It sounds like you are angry with her for some reason. If she lost out - then that's too bad for her. But why do you care?

Yeah - it sounds like she's painfully shy. That's too bad for her but no reason to put her down.

I'm not angry. It is her loss. Shyness isn't an excuse.

I'm not putting her down at all. My point is acting aloof will get you no where.

Okay... So you don't like shy people... That's fine. But if it's her loss - why did you start a thread about it? Are you trying to warn people not to be shy? There is someone out there for everyone. It doesn't sound like you guys would have been a good match anyway - maybe nobody really lost out in this situation.
