I want to make this as concise as possible without leaving out too many details. Basically, my friend and I have been friends for just over a year now, but in that time we got considerably close (I've met her children). In that time, our friendship has been strong: we work together and love working together, we message each other daily etc.
There has been an element of physical attraction in our friendship, but nothing too serious. We've kissed when drunk, and we behave a little flirtatious with each other, but deep down we both know our friendship is just that, a friendship. Long story short, she has stopped talking to me and she won't tell me why. Whenever I bring up the topic, she doesn't respond to my messages and changes the subject to something work related. When we are together, there's no warmth. She's not my friend anymore. It was her birthday recently and I sent her a card, with a nice message inside. She thanked me, but again, it's not the same.
I feel like I have hurt her in some way, but some of me is thinking that maybe she doesn't want us to be friends anymore.. And that I should accept it? However, I know her well. There is people that she actually dislikes, that she speaks to more than me.. And it really hurts. Up until a month ago we were so close.
What do I do??

she has stopped talking to me and she won't tell me why Here's the thing; if you really have no idea, there's no way we can know, is there? maybe she doesn't want us to be friends anymore.. And that I should accept it? You really don't have a choice. We all get to choose our friends, and also unchoose. She doesn't want you friendship, and you cannot force friendship on her. What you can usefully do is try to work out what went wrong. Was it the drunken kiss? Was it people talking about the drunken kiss? I don't know. But if you are to learn from your experience, first you need to understand it.

“ Long story short, she has stopped talking to me and she won't tell me why.”
What happened just before this? Was it a drunken kiss? Someone admitting the attraction? Did something change in her life?
If she truly won’t talk to you there is nothing you can do but stay professional and friendly and work.
