Eugh, what should I do?

Last August, my friends and I went to an event at club/bar to celebrate my friend Ashley’s birthday. At the event I met a guy named Bami, we exchanged contact info and texted back and forth for about 3-4 weeks before he asked me to hang out.

Our first time hanging out, was at an day party at an upscale rooftop patio. After the event, we stayed in a hotel near by because we were both drunk and couldn’t drive home, and yess.. you guessed it, we had sex.. amazing sex I should say and that was how our friends with benefits relationship began.

The more time we spent together, the more I began to fall for him. Fast forward to March of this year, I confessed to him that I had feelings for him and he responded by saying (see photo below). Despite being rejected, we still continued being friends with benefits.

I still have feelings for him and I feel very stupid and embarrassed that I’m giving myself to a man who doesn’t look at me as more than a sex partner, all because deep down I’m hoping he’ll tell me he likes me too and we’ll be in a relationship. He’s literally my dream man, inside and out 😫

I’ve decided enough is enough and I don’t want to communicate with him anymore because I don’t want to keep getting my hopes up. I was planning on ghosting him by blocking and deleting him on everything but I was contemplating whether I should tell him why I’m ghosting him or I should ghost with no explanation.

Help me!!! What should I do?
