I'm a hopeless romantic
I am in love with a friend of mine. We have never officially dated, but we have always been physically close (nothing sexual). A few years back he asked me out, but at the time I rejected him because I felt like it was the right thing to do.
Recently I had developed feeling for him and around that same time he began avoiding me; Ignoring me or giving very short replies in text or in person. We hadn't hung out much as of late, and I thought I had done something wrong. Even worse still he had started to become really close with another friend of mine, and although I love her as a friend I'm envious of her for having something I never knew I had until I lost it.
He is moving away soon and I'm going to try to keep reaching out to savor the final moments I have with him.
Our relationship is complicated and most of the time I can't seem to grasp what he's thinking. We have really high highs and really low lows.
If any of you have any insights, I would gladly read them. (this probably isn't the site to be ranting in lol)
Mostly I wrote this to just clear my head because I've been really confused lately.
I mean what did you expect? You rejected him. He moved on and you should do the same.

i think you need to let him go. you've thrown away the ace, but now that you want it, it's fallen into someone else's hand. there's no good in robbing cards out of other people's hands, and there's no use in trying to barter for it anymore. you (very respectfully, might i add) turned down the opportunity when you had the chance. i admire you fo......

Ngl he’s probably slowly losing feelings for you (if not already) but I mean that doesn’t mean you can’t try shooting your shot. Just do it and confess. Better to do it and have it possibly not end well, than never having confessed at all and regretting it while mulling over the possibilities of what could have been.
He’s moving away anywa......

I think just let him go
You already rejected him and a guy who has you after he was rejected is likely to be resentful even if you get together in the future

Well, just tell him like you wrote this.
Explain it to him and if you lucky maybe he still has some feeling for you. Avoiding certain someone after getting rejected is normal. It's a sign he wants to heal and move on. You never knew his feeling, probably if he stays with, he will feel confused, hurt or heartbreak. That's why he tries to move on, m......

Everyone here is saying how rejecting him made you lose your chance and while it is harsh, it might be true. In my always right opinion, I think you should still tell him how you feel, ESPECIALLY since he's moving away. And bc he's avoiding you, shows how he might still have lingering feelings, and doesn't want them to affect yall's relationship. T......
