Right choice?

[Faolan]

So I posted a month or so ago about a guy that I had been hanging out w. We're friends, but after he came out in may I realized that I'd had a crush on him for a while. I told him at the end of June and we decided just to stay friends.

The problem is, though, I can't get my head in gear--whenever I see him I'm happy, but I'm also really sad. I know this happens to everyone but it's still difficult. He leaves for college in two weeks and me a week later.

I texted him telling him my feeling's haven't changed, so my question is was this the right choice? I still want to hang out but I'm worried I'm just alienating myself

Edit: he texted back saying what I knew already, that he doesn't feel the same way. Time and distance are what it's gonna take. I've hung out w some people going to the same school as me, and already I'm feeling better

Yeah, it sucks to go through this.
All I can do is confirm what you know: only time will fix this.
Be patient, take it one step at a time. You can do this.
Feel free to send me a PM anytime if you need some advice.
I hope it all goes well.
