Paigeykins agony auntHaha, thanks guys. I knew that it was going to freak him out when i told him, i just didnt expect him to be so weird about it. Hes a really funny guy & hes always joking with everybody & when i told him he told me he was gay, which isnt true. Ive known him long enough to know that hes not. It just sucks that he had to make something so dumb up just to let me know that hes not as interested. Our other friend Tyler has known him a couple years longer than i have & he said that Matts always had problems expressing his own emotions, which i understand. & at first i kinda thought that he just reacted like that because he does like me & hes afraid to tell me so he just jokes about it. It just really hurt me though, & i dont think he realizes that. We still havent talked & i think hes avoiding me.

You freaked him out lol. But you know what it was the right thing to do. You told him how you felt inside and I've been there. You did nothing wrong and you needed to get this out of your system. He's probably surprised by this and trying to gather his thoughts. He's your best friend so eventually he's going to have to talk to you about it. So wait for him to talk to you and see what he thinks about you. Hope this works out for you. Good luck.

Though you've been hurt, telling him was the right thing to do in the long term because you now know where you stand. It was better to find out how he felt than not. Wait for him to get into contact with you again. If he doesn't, it's his loss.
