Honestly, it hurts, but at least he was honest, and now you know he can be cruel and he left no doubt that you should forget about him and move on. He wasn't who you hoped he was. Sad, but true.

At least you now know he was unworthy of your attention, let alone you affection.

Turning you down wasn't wrong, but everything else he did was cruel and stupid.

Looks like you dodged a bullet op.

I'm sorry, you'll find someone better.

I'm kinda wondering what you said to him. I think it's kind of weird that you have such strong feelings for someone that you don't even describe as a friend. Do you actually know him? Was that a fair criticism? What did you say that sounded Twilight like? You sound like a hopeless romantic, which is of course sweet, but perhaps surprising when heard from someone that you don't know. If someone I didn't know very well confessed strong feelings for me and evoked romantic, Twilight-like nonsense, I'd be pretty weirded out.

He may not be an asshole if she just asked him out without so much as talking to him

He's not wrong. You literally know nothing about him and you ask him out. Then you're suprised when he says no? This is on you lol.

What an asshole

Honestly. I don't know what you people expect when you tell your crush how you feel. If said person was interested you'd know it. By telling them you're making them feel uncomfortable. And then you're upset he didn't want to comfort you? I'm sure most people just want to get away as fast as possible.
