Hey thank you to anyone who took the time to read this, for a little bit context: I confessed my love for my best friend on December but he unfortunately didnt reciprocated my feelings. He told me that "he's not interested in a relationship right now" and that he "never thought of me that way. " I was hurt at first, but eventually got over it. I think the only reason I felt fine was because of him saying " I'm not ready for a relationship right now" keyword "right now" that sent me mixed signals I wish he just straight up told me no. 

We've since become so much closer after the confession, and cut to the present I started falling for him again... this is such bad timing for both of us. He's already going through a friendship breakup, he's dealing with the pressures of school and there's much more on his plate. He doesn't need anymore stress... I know if I were to confess he'd probably reject me and feel awful. I don't want to put that on him but I genuinely love that man so much. I don't know what to do, should I confess and get it over with already? Or just keep quiet. I think if I were to get rejected I would end up feeling lonely again, I would be absolutely heartbroken. 

What do you guys think?
