I guess I just wanted someone to talk to a bit who might understand what I've been going through.
He read the message this afternoon and he hasn't replied. Now I'm thinking he isn't going to and I feel like an idiot and wish I hadn't done it. Maybe he thinks I'm a creepy weirdo or I was trying to flirt with him or something.

It probably has nothing to do with you. I admit I'm pretty bad with reading FB messages, even from someone I kinda know, then forgetting to respond. Because unless I'm missing something, there's no way to flag them and/or mark them as unread? Like, maybe he was busy doing something else when he read it and was like, "I'll respond later" but hasn't gotten to it yet. Because that's how I often am--good intentions, poor follow-through. But it has nothing to do with the other person, just my lack of organization. Or I'd be trying to think of the exact right thing to say, then question it, and put off responding.
