I Reached Out To A Male Friend In A Letter

Posted on Sat, 6 Mar 2021

Question: I reached out to a male friend in a letter asking him if he would help me has I am going through a hard time dealing with issues in my past. That same morning (in fact 15 minutes after giving him the note I find out he is leaving for another job) In the note I ask him to contact me and he hasn't but I hear from the work grapevine and his male friends that he "didn't know what to say to her (me)" in response to my letter. Now I probably won't ever see him again and feel bad that our last encounter (which was a very positive one since he hadn't read the letter yet) and now I'll probably never see him again like I said. How can I reach out to him? He is EXTREMELY private about everything and don't have his contact info. I would love to forward you the letter so you can give me a better answer. I feel very badly if I upset and if nothing else, would like to apologize to him in person. So, can I please send you a copy of the letter I sent him and get your advice after you read it?

Thank you...I really need someone to help me and this whole thing has made me even more upset/depressed.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Shadging,
Thanks for reverting back to me.

As per information to me a person can ask three follow ups to a specialist. However I think asking this question to management of website is more appropriate than a specialist like me as it wasted one follow up.

I hope this helps you.
Thanks again.
