Hey Zariah,

Thank you for sharing your story and it is very normal for you to feel this way. When a confession is made about our feelings to another person and they don’t reciprocate, it sucks and it will bother you for while but not forever, I promise.

The feeling of embarrassment and rejection are once again normal. I wasn’t in your shoes a few years back but I was in your friend’s when my best friend of 5 years told me that he liked to be more than a friend, I was silent too. Why? Because I didn’t expect it and I’ve never thought of him that way or even knew that he liked me beyond our friendships. What you are doing is right, give him some time to process and he will slowly come back to you and both of you will get over the awkwardness.

The fact that he still keeps you in the loop of his life meant that he still wants to be around you and friend with you.  Time will tell what is going to happen, for now, please stop focusing on what others think rather and how he feels, he will talk to you once he is ready just like I did with my friend Alvin. Stay busy and try to stay to do other things that keep your mind off the topic.

xoxo
