Hey reddit, 
This is my first post here, sadly. Long story, short, I had a crush on my co-worker for the past year. Of course, I never could get the courage to tell him. 
It's not like I didn't make any effort to get to know him. He takes me home and we have great conversation after work. We tried to hang out outside of work but our schedule clash. So, I thought that I would asked other co-worker some advice but he informed me that he been dating someone for a month now.

I don't know why I thought I had a chance.
I going to try my hardest not to beat myself up about it but I can't help to feel like it my fault. 

The fear of rejection is real. I can't help but to hate myself for it.
Thanks for reading. Have a great day.
