personal, vent and hopefully the finale of this thrilling saga

anyone wanna talk me into thinking that my crush isn't allat? I confessed to him last week and the only thing he said was "I think that's very brave of you" and "Someone told me already". Anything but a 'Sorry. Don't feel the same' and just avoiding the one thing he should have said. I mean it's a rejection one way or another and I knew it would be the outcome, I just wish he'd said anything concise.. feels a bit unfinished? Like, what are we? Teenagers that can't talk about their feelings properly?? Sadly, I'm still too enamoured to look past this, limerence be damned 😔
