I’ve been having problems with a woman named Vanessa, who is also a colleague. We used to be friends and communicated almost daily. Unfortunately, we’re no longer on speaking terms. We’ve broken apart since last August. She said she needed space as she rejected my romantic feelings for her and chose another man instead, who is also a colleague of mine. As that broke my heart, I’m now at the point where I miss her friendship. Time has passed and I would like to reconcile with her. However, she doesn’t seem to want to reconcile and I don’t know why. As a result, work has been uncomfortable for me and I appear to be out of options. I know I can’t force peace on someone who wants war…but I hope there’s some way she can find it in her heart to make peace with me. What do I need to do for her to decide to reconcile with me?
