Psychology
Being confessed to reflects a desire to be chosen, and sometimes a rising self-regard. If it was someone you know, your unconscious is attentive to that bond — but it does not reveal their true feelings.
Folklore and history
Japan long favoured poems, letters and go-betweens over direct declarations; spoken confession is relatively new. Being confessed to is usually read as a lucky sign of rising charm.

In this site's view, what matters is how you answered. Accepting at once means you are ready to receive affection; waking before answering may mean part of you fears the weight of living up to expectations.
Going deeper: our reading
Japanese manga and dramas have long staged confessions behind the school building after class, on the rooftop or under cherry trees. Japan also has its own Valentine's Day custom, with women giving chocolate to men and gifts returned a month later on White Day. In this site's reading, people who dream of being confessed to often hold a wish to be chosen and a growing sense that they are starting to like themselves. A confession by letter suggests you are noticing unspoken goodwill around you. Being confessed to by someone you dislike hints that you may be finding something of yourself in them. A heartfelt confession from a same-sex friend may show deep trust, not only romance. This is our speculation, but a familiar setting means your standing is rising close to home.
