I confessed to the girl I like, and she sent me a text message saying that I don't know what to say now. My question was so sudden that it startled her! It takes time to face it!

Well, at least it means she hasn't liked you, or she hasn't realized that she likes you, too.

She said that she was afraid, maybe she really regarded you as an ordinary friend and didn't think about further development.

Or, she has someone else in mind.

In other words, she always feels that she is particularly bad and you are particularly good, so you can't like her.

Well, it's better to start with friends.

I have read a short story that the best confession is not confession. Both of them feel that way, and then they hold hands, kiss and hug. Then the girl couldn't help saying, "Do you take me as your girlfriend?"

But this is a bit exaggerated.

I still think you can take your time. Even if she refuses, don't give up easily.
