I haven't posted on this forum in quite a while, but things are better than they were since I last posted...
I have a better job now, and at this job I work with this one particular guy. We get along for the most part and we'be been talking for quite a while now (like a few months). Our conversations are amicable and nothing seems off at all.
Now, this guy hasn't shown up to work for the past three days this week, and let's just say it's thrown me off quite a bit. Keep in mind I like him as a possible friend, not as a boyfriend (though I wouldn't mind if that happened, even eventually), and yesterday I bit the bullet and added him as a friend on Facebook. I figured we'd talked enough to get to that point. But I checked this morning and saw that my request was rejected and it now said "add friend" on his profile. I'm really not sure why he rejected the request, but this IS Facebook after all, nothing to obsess over. I don't have any other way of reaching out to him.
So, what do I do at this point? Should I wait and wait till he reaches out to me, or something else?

Do nothing. I'm not sure what the confusion is here.

I'm confused on why my request was rejected, we get along for the most part but it's mystifying why he rejected it.

If he has been missing for 3 days he probably has a personal issue to work out.

You work together is my thought. I have Facebook, but I never approve anyone that I work with because I want to have plausible deniability in case any employer asks me about it. That's just me though.

Who knows, could be any number of reasons.

You've got an obvious crush on someone who doesn't seem to feel the same (sorry if that sounds harsh), it will fade. Don't make more of this then it's worth.

I will admit it, there is a hint of a crush there, but I would prefer to get to know him before anything else. If he doesn't like me, then he should have been upfront about it.

I was a bit iffy in the beginning about adding him...didn't want to seem too creepy.

No where do you say that he ever said he liked you, in fact you say:

" We get along for the most part and we'be been talking for quite a while now (like a few months)"

That's during work hours where it's best to try to get along with your co-worker's or it's going to be a miserable environment.

Unless you've left information out of your OP, like you've dated, hooked up, etc...he doesn't owe you anything.

Your over-reaction is "off."

I'm not sure creepy would ever enter his mind, but for me, I don't add people on Facebook because I don't want to have to keep my Facebook feed professional.
