Aw, Amy, don't beat yourself up over it, ok. I think at some point, we all do something like that. I have done it and have felt the same way you did after. I can be very shy and introverted when I first meet people, and that is even more obvious when it is a guy that I really like and wan to get to know. Anyway, the nice thing is that the guy didn't even blink an eye or think I was weird (I keep that well-hidden at times LOL) or blow me off. I was convinced that he would just avoid me, but surprisingly, he showed up where I was working (at the time I was bartending and supervising in a restaurant) and asked me out.
I agree with Allison, the next time you see him, don't make an issue of your sudden bout of shyness/nervousness. If he raises it, then you could just tell him that the past few weeks have been difficult and you are going through an adjustment period or something like that. If he is smart, he will know a good thing when he sees it, will recognize just what a wonderful, expressive and human individual you are, and want to get to know you and all facets of your personality better.
Good luck and take good care of you.
