Thank you for sharing this, normally I'm not the type to reach out for help but this was more than I could bear. My best friend knew I liked him but I don't think she understood how much. O man, that must have been so awkward
emotion_facepalm but knowing the truth now rather than later is better.
I tend to read too deeply into things so humor me xD mind you I was forbidden from speaking during crime shows like CSI because my guesses were almost always right >.> . He came out in video, when I watch it again some of it seem scripted, but even if it is that would make sense, I peractice things I'm scared to talk about. Afterwards, in a way of lighting the mood because he was stressed from what he had just done, I told him about how I felt, I thought it would make him laugh, but then came a veryyyyyyyyy long pause. Of course there are millions of things that would distract him, family and friends were probably texting him left and right. And then I think back to a few times when he said odd things, he talked about girls he wanted to date but they were always taken, that seems like something you wouldn't say unless you meant it. And at times when we were guilty of the same small crimes, like owning R4s >> he'd jokingly say "we're so bad! We should get married!" Now I expressed to all our friends that feel lonely a lot so a comment like that stung, and more so coming from him. It seems a hurtful thing to say UNLESS there was a hint behind it. So you can see how I'm confused by all this
sweatdrop but like you said, he was probably confused himself.
I know I'm being nuts OTZ you may ignore me xD I'm surly wrong about it all but I like analyzing things in this way, it's fun for me even though it can also be bad.
