update: I told my bff about me stopping the daily texts to this dude and explained why. She encouraged me to send one last text to get clarification and get out of limbo once and for all.
I did and got rejected big time. He doesn't wanna be with me. Can't say I didn't see this coming. I should've followed my instincts and let him pursue me. I shouldn't have let her talk me into this. At least I have my answer. My heart is broken and I'm in a lot of pain right now. This sucks. It's embarrassing and I don't know how to deal with it. It just happened so maybe it hasn't really hit me yet. Lesson learned.
