I confessed to a close friend and I need advice.

Problem/Goal: I confessed to a close friend that I have been inlove with her for months but she did not respond and still not reading my last dm.

Context: She had a failed relationship last year and she had a hard time getting over it. I am single for 4 years already, I am in no rush to be in a relationship. I also did not mean to fall in love with her, but it happened because falling in love with her is as easy as breathing.

Previous Attempts: I tried sending her a few messages after that but still no response.

Am I already rejected? Should I still wait for her? What do I do?

Edit: Thank you everyone who came here to share your thoughts and express your feelings, it helped me clear my mind and realign my thoughts. Even if you came here to mock, still, thank you. But I hope everyone should practice being nice. If you're nice to your family and friends, please be nicer to strangers, you don't know what's going through their heads. Just be nice, it's free.
