I know as a young girl that I feel like it's love at first sight when I spot a really cute guy. Well this time it actually was. There was a boy in my study hall his name is Alex. At first I didn't pay any attention to him, but then I felt myself absolutely drawn to him. And we started talking, found out we had a lot in common and became friends. After a while I decided to tell him how I felt, but what came after I didn't expect. I gave him my heart and soul and I told him I had fallen in love with him. He replied by telling me we were to good of friends and I was more like a little sister he felt he needed to protect. I was slightly crushed, but he said he loved me in an unromantic way which I was willing to except.

The problem with this is that after about two weeks he stopped talking to me and when I asked about it. He said it hurt too much.

What does this mean please help me?
