Crap. FB is now my mortal enemy.

The very last thing I need today is for a guy I lived with for a little while (platonically) sending me a Facebook message:

1. Admitting that he lied about his age and only just turned 21, and

2. Professing his feelings for me (which I always knew about but ignored because he was already too young for me and I'm bad at confrontation).

Well that's unfortunate. :P

Maybe just say you need time to process and hope he moves on?

I put off dealing with this all weekend (see: bad at this), but finally just replied. I went with "No, I'm not mad that you lied, but I'm sorry, I'm not into you." Well, the actual message was a lot longer, but that's what it boiled down to. I didn't want to give him hope that I might change my mind once I processed, so hopefully it didn't come out mean. I don't think it did, but SO. BAD.

At least this way he's not stuck in place anymore. He can pick himself up, dust himself off and forget the fantasy of you together. In a few years time he may look back and cringe the way you're cringing now.
