Hmmm… do you want to stay friends because you hope he changes his mind? You have to be honest with yourself. If that’s the case, you really shouldn’t be friends with him. Or, at least give it time to allow yourself to heal or to release that emotional attachment. Speaking from my personal experience. You shouldn’t continue your friendship until and unless you have completely overcome those feelings for that person because it will just deepen your emotions for that person and you will be hurted more badly. I fear you might be hurt more.
Rejection is sometimes very harsh and hurtful especially for someone with a tender heart. One might seriously suffer from low-esteem as a result of it because it’s likely to cause one to question one’s ability and capability as a friend to someone else. Please do not dwell too long on that thought. Once a friend rejects your out-stretched hand, just pack up and move along. You might want to hope he/she reconsiders the offer but in the meantime don’t get all eaten up by the rejection. Everyone has the right to choose their partners m. You get rejected, you reject others.
Just go right on being the person you are. Likely it’s their loss, not yours when it comes to benefits of having one as good as you for a friend.
