My bf recently broke up with me and we just got ...

Dear, I think you'll have to the "risk" (I don't see as a risk) and tell him about your feelings. I just don't get- He thinks that you have no time for you, but you do have, and you just don't tell him?

I see no other solution other than having a serious talk with him.  

I think that the most important word and answer for you right now is: communicate.  I think that the work element definitely makes the situation more complicated, but I think that you really need to just be the bigger person, walk up to him and say "hey, let's go get coffee after work and talk... there are some things I want to say..." and you can go from there.  I think that if you still care about him and really want to give things another shot, then you need to just say that.  If you really like/love him, then you need to say that as well.  If he is feeling something different, at least you will know that you were honest.  Be confident in yourself and just say... "hello... how are you?" while passing him at work.  That's all you can do.  Then, work things out outside of work.  It sounds from what you've said that you had a pretty healthy relationship... so now you just need to establish together (you and him through talking) what makes sense for both of you, what to do next.  I hope this helps.  Good luck.

I think that in many times we miss on really amazing opportunities in life because we are so scare to appeare vulnerable. Actually we prefer in many case to be vulnerable and look all tough on the outside, then be really tough inside to the point of letting the vulnerability show.

It seem to me like this kind of behavior is what got you into this mess in the beginning - you were afraid to let the guy know you are into him, so you sort of played hard to get to the point of him giving up on you - and now, by being scared to "come out as pathetic" you are actually preventing yourself from having a chance with this guy.

Lets say he's not interested in giving you a second chance - which is, I guess the worst of your fears, then the worst that happens is that you found out where things are right now and can get on with recovery from the hearbreak and move on.

I think you have a lot to gain here and very little to loose aside maybe a chance little bit of ego hurt. 

I suggest that instead of avoiding him at work or talking to him at work, give him a call one day and set a meeting in a neutral place and just talk about your feelings honestly and as openly as you can - whether he accept or reject you - at least you'll know where you are at.

There is a lot of good advice here. I would just like to add that although you think asking for another chance is pathetic, the truth is it would be even sadder if you did not tell this guy your true feelings. A good way to start is by saying hello to him at work, instead of avoiding him (as this can be seen as a little childish). You could call him or even send him an email asking him if you and he could talk one day after work as there is a lot of unfinished business that you would like to clear up with him.

I am curious though, is it possible though that the guy had some legitimate concerns about your availability? I mean, was there something specific that he mentioned when he broke things off? It's quite possible that this was only a misunderstanding due to a lack of communication. If that is the case, it's more than likely he will give you a second chance.

Good luck.
