Although your crush denied your Facebook friend request, it doesn’t instantly signify that he doesn’t like you.
It’s conceivable your crush doesn’t know you have a crush on him.
When he received your Facebook friend request, he didn’t know what to make of it.
He is a relatively private person and doesn’t accept every friend request that comes his way.
Since he doesn’t know he is your crush, he wasn’t ready to accept your friend request until he got to know you a little bit better in person.
If he barely knows you, he doesn’t know what your angle or intention is.
Something else to consider is the likelihood your crush is seeing someone else.
In this scenario, your crush has a girlfriend or is talking to a girl of romantic interest at this time.
Your crush isn’t of the frame of mind to accept friend requests from girls when he is so fixated on his current girlfriend or whoever it is he is talking to romantically.
He doesn’t want his girlfriend or girl of interest to get the wrong impression about him.
An impression he isn’t faithful or trustworthy.
He decides not to accept your friend request, not wanting to be in trouble with his girlfriend who is the the jealous type or with this girl of interest in fear of ruining his chances with her.
When a person has a crush, it’s hellish for them to consider the possibility that their crush has a partner or someone they are talking to on a serious level.
You haven’t considered this, as you like your crush so much.
With such heavy hopes, it gets overwhelming, blinding you to the reality of what is.
You believe so strongly that your crush should be with you, believing in how compatible you two are, the thought of him dating someone else or being interested in someone else is impossible to fathom.
Eschew getting so wrapped up in what you hope happens or the sort of relationship you think you have with your crush.
Besides this, think about a scenario where your crush is worried that if he were to accept your friend request, you get the wrong impression prematurely.
He doesn’t want to hurt your feelings by leading you on.
He doesn’t know where to take his relationship, so he holds off on the friend request.
At this moment, he is figuring out whether he wants to take this further.
Until he figures that out, he denies your Facebook friend request.
Don’t get desperate.
Bombarding him with constant friend requests turns him off completely, making the prospect of romance with him in the future mute.
