To make a long story short, this guy that I hung out with for a couple of days liked me. He told mutual friends this, and they told me. I was excited, because I liked him too. So I asked him, and he denied it and said that he had a girlfriend. A girlfriend that no one knew about until he was backed into a corner. He got mad that they told me that he liked me. But it’s not their fault. It’s his fault for telling a bunch of high school kids that he liked me. 

Later on, I requested to follow him on Instagram. We live in different countries, and I figured we could be social media friends at least. Yes, I should’ve just let it go at that point, but I liked him so much that I was okay if he had a girlfriend and didn’t pursue me. I just wanted to be a small part of his life. Also, if he really didn’t like me like he said, what would the issue be in following me? He left the request pending for several days, and after two weeks, he rejected it. Why did he wait so long to reject it? Was he trying to be nice about it? Did he feel bad that he led me on? 

Whatever, I guess it doesn’t matter. Because I blocked him for a couple of days. The day after I blocked him, a mutual friend reached out and asked me if I was okay. They didn’t mention my crush’s name, but I could kind of tell that they were fishing for info. I’m 99% sure that he told them. But why would he care? He rejected my request, and I just took it one step further. Maybe it was an overreaction, but I was upset. And since we live far away, I can’t yell at him the next time I see him. I’m not in contact with him, so I can’t call him and yell at him. So I blocked him. That’s all I could do to show him how upset I was.
