WHATTTT

I'd advise the OP to be more other-centered next time - think about how you are choosing to deliver the message and share what you are feeling, the timing, context.  Think about how this other individual who you say you care about and want to give to -right - will likely react to this sort of sharing of feelings.  It's your thing to get it off your chest and no air needed to be cleared -he was going about his life just fine. 

Maybe journal to get out your feelings instead of sharing in the way you did -for sure if he was really into you all he would have heard was "wow she feels the same way whoo hoo!!!!" and it would have been a cute story about how you shared it.  But honestly if I wasn't quite there yet but was considering dating someone and that happened -that would give me pause - and make me concerned that the person chose to share in that way instead of let's say asking me for a date.
