god, my heart is breaking for him!!! People need to stop using the "we're friends right ?" bullshit !! No you're not and you'll never be anytime soon! It's fine to reject someone because love can't be forced but don't force the friendship either! At least allow them to accept being rejected at their own pace and then decide if there is a future for friendship.
I don't hate the guy for rejecting him but I hope the other guy just moves on and finds love. This isn't a wish just to spite the other guy or make him jealous, that's childish. I just want the guy in love to be happy
