..and this wasn't even a relationship.

Hi everyone. It's been a while. To make a long story short, I've been crushing on a friend for a few weeks. Yesterday we were IMing each other and he started ignoring my messages out of the blue. I know for a fact he was still logged on and talking to other people. So was I. Same thing happened today. I thought it was his turn to reply so didn't message him, obviously. I was deeply hurt when he forgot my birthday earlier this year even though he'd promised he wouldn't, but he apologized and we managed to talk it through. I think this is the last straw. I've been crying for two days now. This "friendship" is over for me.

Some background info: we're both in our 20s, we're both 100% single (i.e. not even casual dates). I've been single for a few years (I was dumped, heartbroken, and developed OCD) and I intend to stay that way. I didn't "fight" this crush because I thought it would be counterproductive.

Thank you for reading this.
