Should I wait for him?

I have been having a crush on this guy for months now. He has a very nice, gentle, kind, and sweet personality, or at least that’s how he behaves with me cuz others are always gobsmacked to learn that this is my perception of him. Which is what makes me think he likes me too. Therefore, I confessed last night. He told me that he thought of us before, he sees the dynamic, but I deserve someone who is sure, someone whom I meet at the right timing. To which I took as him having feelings for me too but he’s in an unstable spot, therefore, relationship is not his priority. He wants to have a strong footing in his life first before indulging in any other things. Which is the exact outcome I expected. We’re friends, and hung out a lot as that. He talked openly about it too. A friend asked him once “but what if you like the girl too and she confesses to you rn?” He said “I want a job more”. I anticipated this, I knew it would come to this, regardless of his feelings towards me. And I accepted the rejection, yet I can’t help but feel a little heartbroken. How do I not feel this way?
