Being ok with rejection

So I’ve liked this guy for a few months now, we talk every day, we recently got with each other at a party, I thought he felt the same way back as everything is always jokey and flirty, he calls me cute all that good stuff

I told him the other day I liked him a little bit, he told me he liked me too but his feelings were really mixed up with his ex,

But weirdly for the first time ever, I don’t feel upset about getting rejected?

Does this mean my feelings towards him aren’t that strong?
