are you in high school? perhaps a freshman in college? honestly, and i'm not trying to be sarcastic or anything here, the last time i met a woman who behaved like this was back in high school.
Nope, I'm in my mid twenties and the girl was around the same age.
Why is this such a difficult concept for him to grasp???
They won't go out with him so they aren't "good enough" to be friends with?
It's all or nothing - date me or I hate you??
eh i dunno about the OP but personally while i have no problem being friends with members of the opposite sex (and indeed i do have many women friends), i find it almost impossible to be friends with a woman i'm actually attracted to. that's why i usually just distance myself completely when my advances are rebuffed. i have nothing against her, no ill-will or anything of the sort, and i most certainly don't 'hate' her. i suspect that's how it is with most guys that share my views on the matter.

I can understand that it might be painful to be friends with someone you are attracted to who is not attracted to you, so "distancing" yourself would be appropriate.
But to be out and out rude to a girl - to "push her off and walk away" just because she tried to talk to you in a public place?? That's kind of extreme wouldn't you agree? It reminds me of the way a middle school boy might act when he doesn't know any better.
There is just no reason why two grown people should not be able to be courteous and friendly to one another in passing, even if one declined to date the other

Well, for what it's worth that specific girl was really rude to me first. She led me on then hooked up with a cousin of mine when I was with her.
I've had guys reject me and then they'll try and talk to me again. I just figured if they rejected me, ignored me, and come back, they don't really matter anymore after a while and should know that. It doesn't bother me. If I feel like talking to them, I will. If not, then I don't. Simple.
okay, not sure how you got to be 25 without learning this before but it's never too late to learn something valuable
"taking the high road" is an expression that basically means to rise above petty things - to be a class act, a person of depth and strength of character.
It has been said that the surest way to happiness is to always take the high road.
