I very recently started a new job and just yesterday, my old crush from high school came in to do some shopping. I don't think she saw me, but I was hesitant to go up and say something due to her and I having something of a falling out.

We were friends throughout our four years of high school and I always had some strong feelings for her, but she had a boyfriend for most of high school and I respected those boundaries. We stayed friends for about a year after high school, but then one day I saw that she had unfriended me from Facebook and I knew why. Back then, I was one of those edgy atheists who would constantly post anti-religion stuff on Facebook and my crush was a Christian. Needless to say that my posts upset her enough to remove me on Facebook and I wasn't sure about our standing together after that. We didn't contact one another after that, but then last year I saw her at a Thursday night premiere for Infinity War. We were walking towards each other down a hallway and I wanted to say hi, but she avoided eye contact and just kept walking without acknowledging me. I also saw that she may have even been there with another guy.

Jump to now and I'm contemplating trying to reconnect with her. Her Facebook say she's single and I also found out that she works in the area as well, meaning that we may bump into each other again. I'm just worried that she's going to ignore me like she did at the movies last year. What should I do?

The last time you saw each other in person, she acted like you didn't even exist. That doesn't bode well for you.

Take the hint and move on.

To have a chance with her you will need to find an attractive lady friend to run into you old high school crush's workplace with. Make sure the attractive lady friend is wearing a Jesus Saves t shirt. The following time you run into her, she won't ignore you.

What if I were to offer up an apology?

Are you no longer an atheist?

I still am, but not the type that I once was. I use to constantly go after Christians every chance I got, even the good ones who were just minding their own business. But now I've learned to just live and let live if they're not using their beliefs to hurt anyone.

Sounds like as a Christian she found your posts unacceptable. Despite the fact that you have changed, you made the choice to make those posts in the past, and as I tell my high school kids all the time, the Internet is forever. You cannot take them back or the way the posts made her feel.

Trust me, she's not interested. Move on and find someone else.

I would say that if she unfriended you over your atheist posts, and you are still an atheist (even though you are mellower) she probably isn’t going to be interested.

Depends on your motivation for the apology. If you want to do it because you feel like your behavior was somehow wrong, then maybe. If you want to pave the way toward asking her out, forget it.

I wouldn't bother, since her actions toward you at the movie theater were pretty clear.

Take the hint, she wants nothing to do with you. She has made it evident.
