Hello there, Sender! First of all, thank you for being honest. I really appreciate the courage and sincerity behind the way you told me how you feel. Fret not, this didn’t make me uncomfortable at all. Rather, I’m actually really flattered and honored (I mean, why me? Why a boyloser like me?). And of course, you’re more than welcome to get to know me better if you’d like, and I’d love to get to know you better too, platonically. Because to be completely honest, though, I’m not interested in anything romantic for the time being. There are a few reasons why I’d rather we just get to know each other as friends for now, and I’m not really sure how long that’ll last. Maybe until I’m in a better place with myself and ready to love myself first, so that when I do love someone else, I can do it the right way. For now, I think that’s what’s most important to me. Once again, thank you for being brave and honest. I really appreciate it a lot. (And please don’t hesitate to hit me up through my dms, I don’t bite)
