Alright, let’s break this down real simple.
His interest in another girl doesn’t mean he wasn’t interested in you. It just means at the time, she was the one he was focused on. People shift. Feelings shift. Timing matters more than we like to admit.
You put your cards on the table and that opened a door he hadn’t considered fully before. Once he saw you were serious, he realized, “Damn… this could actually be something.”
And the fact that he’s known you for years? That works in your favor. A man will not risk a long-standing friendship just to play games. That kind of move carries weight. If he was just looking to pass time, he’d have kept things exactly how they were.
So what does this mean?
He chose you not by accident, not from pressure, but because the picture changed when you spoke your truth.
Don’t overthink it.
Just take it slow, stay grounded, and see how it unfolds.
Sometimes the thing you feared losing is the thing you were supposed to step toward.
