Now I understand that I’m rlly dumb in this but I need people to tell it to me straight.i (15m) confessed to my crush (15m) a couple months ago and ever since I have been so confused and dumb abt it all. So I’ve liked this guy for almost two years and hes one of the nicest people I’ve met and I was texting him for a long while.we would talk like normal friends but every once in a while hed say stuff but I couldn’t tell if it was “acting gay with guy friends” or not. he’d send weird emojis like 👰♂️👰♂️👉👌 to which I’d question him abt and he’d go 😏😏😏.and would say stuff that I couldn’t tell if it was flirty(I’m really bad at reading people and what they’re meaning).Aswell as this one time we were walking out of our only class we shared and he just started saying out of the blue “you know OP…….. you’re a really nice guy” which confused me cus 1. He said this for no reason and 2. He was completely silent for 3 seconds before saying you’re a nice guy like it was some movie and he was abt to confess but chickened out (I’m not joking it literally looked and sounded like it) .but after a while of holding this crush I decided to confess to him cus the secret was killing me and I had to get it out. His response was “okayyyy” and kinda left it at that. Ever since then he’s kinda been dry in his texts but still wanting to be friends with me(???). And last week I asked him if I had made things awkward between us and apologised if I ruined our friendship and his response was “no it’s fine it’s just I’m talking to a girl and with how you feel idk if that’d be cheating” obviously I was heartbroken but didn’t want to get in the way of his relationship so I just told him alright That makes sense I’ll give you space and stop texting you but he backtracks and replies “no no it’s fine it’s not to bad I don’t mind”.because of this I’ve been extremely upset and tired like I’ve been bedrotting for the past 3 days cause im so upset abt it all.as of now I’ve just stopped messaging him but now I’m really confused on everything and don’t know what to do and what moves to make next on this do I just leave it and forget or like stay friends with him. I don’t want to ruin our friendship but don’t want to get in the way of his relationship.ive been panicking for days on what to do and need advice.
(Story that idk where to put in the timeline so I’m putting it here): one time I was talking with him after I had confessed and he asked “OP do you know the girl gossip” so I asked for specifics cus there’s tons of gossip and he went “well I always get told that a ton of girls like me but never who and I was wondering if you could work your magic and find out who it is pleaseeee” I was obviously pissed off at this but couldn’t show that so I just avoided it and told him to do it himself maybe cus itll look sad and weird if I go around asking girls if they like him.
Extra info: this is my first guy and all my friends know abt it. The guy is really confusing with his sexuality cus a ton of people think he’s a bit gay but then hes also very straight at the same time it’s very hard to describe. The guy is literally one of the most popular guys of my year (god this really sounds like a 13 year old girls wattpad fanfiction😭) and everyone knows him. He’s still being nice to me at school but since school is away for holidays now all I have as communication with him is texting so he’s always dry.
TLDR: was talking with my crush. I confessed to him after months of talking and thinking he liked me back.he turned dry and slightly avoidant. Asked if I made things awkward and turns out he’s talking to another girl
