I have this friend for 2 and half years now. And I don’t know what I was thinking one night and I confessed to him. While confessing I said that I know we are only friends and I understand that but me telling you this will help me get over you. He responded with it’s too soon to decide and there are better people out there. I don’t get what that fully means. However, it was a little awkward in the beginning as we are together in all our classes, but now he is completely normal with me like how we used to be and I’m so thankful for that. But I think I messed it up more by telling him that another guy confessed to me and I consider him as my brother so I need his advice. He told me to get to know him first and was being helpful. But a bit different when I said you are a bro to me. Anyhow I do think I ruined my reputation to him because he already knows I had an ex. And this new guy that recently confessed isn’t really a “good” guy. I just can’t remove my friend from my mind, heart.. Meaning I STILL have feelings for my close friend and it depresses me a lot that now he would have the wrong idea about me
