I still feel weird

I've had the same job for the past two summers, and this girl started the same time that I did. We've never really tried to get to know each other and that's just how things went between us.

Anyway, last summer she was working on a program and I jokingly called her out on a sensitive matter and caused her to cry. I've always felt bad about it and today(6-7 months after the fact) I apologized and tried to fix things between us. She thanked me for the apology and explained why she got upset. After the apology I felt obliged to try to catch up or at least chat for a while, but after a couple minutes I felt really awkward and couldn't deal with trying to have a normal conversation. I made up an excuse and left.

I know what I did was cowardly and pathetic, but is it normal to still be uncomfortable after that burden has been lifted a bit?

    Yes, partly.

    It appears that for months, you juggled the idea of apologizing to her, and perhaps fantasizing about what it would be like to get her response. The awkwardness that you became aware of after you successfully apologized to her may come from the fact that now, you are left with the task of having to actually interact with her; the person, not the fantasy you have had access to all this time. Did she meet your expectations? fall short? exceed them? These are all things to consider.

    The great thing is though, that now that the apology is out of the way, and it has been accepted, you and her are free to gradually develop a friendship together. Who knows what may come out of that?

    best of luck to you
