Recently I told someone that I liked them and of course they rejected me (otherwise I wouldn’t be asking this question…). But I still really want to be friends. We are not so close like best friends, but we have known each other for about a year. I still like hanging out and talking with them and whatnot, but since I’ve told them they are not the same.

When we talk her answers are short and blunt. And she doesn’t smile and laugh as much now. It’s only been three days since I told her, so maybe I’m jumping the gun.

Do you think time will allow things to settle back down?

And let’s say this awkwardness continues for a couple weeks or even a month. Is there anything I can do?
