I confessed my feelings to a guy in my hiking group 2 months ago which his response was he said he 'led me on' but he kept staring at me at a party weeks later.

I have avoided bumping into him for the past 7 weeks which has been fine but mutual friends keep mentioning him to me or they laugh and say they found out he was the guy I liked.*

I have seen photos posted by a friend on social media of him cosy with a woman on New Years which he is entitled to do so but it made me feel sick.

I want to move on but these 'friends' keep talking about him to me.

Sounds like children playing in the hiking group. Also I think from his perspective he did nothing wrong. “Lead” you on is very vague but sounds like he was being friendly which you might have misinterpreted.

The real issue is with these friends and their elementary behavior. It should have never been brought up and if so only once.

So he led you on, now it is time for you to tell them all to take a different kind of hike.

I think after 2 months your friends would let it go...unless you're encouraging them.
Why care if they"keep talking about him"...unless you really don't want to move on.

Recognize the pain you are feeling is not from rejection but from over estimating how important you are to him. I really don't see anything he did wrong.

Does your friends know about your confession to him?

You have been posting about this buy for over a year. You need to figure out why you are so obsessed.

Default Moving on

I had my heartbroken by a friend last year as I told him I liked him and he panicked and made an excuse saying that he led me on. I had anxiety before I told him I liked him as I hated not knowing where I stood.

I have just made amends with him after 9 months of not seeing him as I blanked a few times after the rejection I was struggling so had to stay away and I hate animosity.

I saw him last night on a night out with mutual friends and we briefly exchanged a few words. I didn't look at him much but when I did, I noticed he was already staring at me. This guy is in his 40s. Why is he still staring when he told me no. I still have feelings for him when I see him but would certainly not even date him after what has happened as I know I deserve better. Am I best to just avoid him altogether?
