Cutting off all contact because someone confesses their feelings is a complete dick move. I have a hunch that you're way better than you think you are and that he's way worse than you think he is, and that that was intentional on his part. I dealt with something similar back in high school. I hope things go well, sincerely, and thank you for sharing.

Nah, better to cut contact and bring the opportunity of closure than making someone to wait seven years, hoping that maybe someday they can receive a chance to date you.

I mean, definitely, but the fact that he didn't even try to make the friendship work, in conjunction with how OP idolizes him and doesn't like herself makes me think there's a chance something fishy is going on.

I'm really, REALLY stretching, but he could've basically considered her a toy, for easy worship, and the love confession showed that the toy is now broken. Some emotionally-manipulative people are really like that.
