I'm not a man, but I'll suggest you act as if you're not even bothered by the rejection. Hi/bye, but don't go out your way to ignore her and certainly don't go out your way to notice her.

When I say I ignore her, I completely forget about her and act like she doesn't exist. It works.

I've certainly felt the awkwardness you are describing. But part of being a grown up human being is being able to hear the word "no" without falling apart or pouting or acting passive-aggressive about it. That just makes you look weak and immature. Rejection is part of life. The more graciously you handle it, the better.

Successful people don't ask questions like this. They just do the right thing.

Honestly, every time you type something on this forum it just wreaks of weakness. I don't understand how you don't go through your posts and say "man, I need to change my life"

She told you where things are, honor her wish to be left alone. I wouldn't run and hide, but if there was no need to say anything beyond hello, don't.

I'm a female. Based on your posts, you are so negative it's no wonder you aren't in a relationship(though you say you don't want to be in one and want to focus on school, which is fine). Don't blame the opposite sex for where you are relationship wise, which is alone.

Because other people's behaviors shouldn't impact you that easily with respect to how you want to be as a human being.

Nothing pisses entitled american women off more than when they see a man with either an asian or phillipino woman who they brought to the USA. Every guy that does this is one less guy off her spread sheet of guys to sort through, if enough guys do this then the american women will have to be humble and wont be able to afford to do so much rejecting.

I am focusing on school now. I am talking about past rejections.

You're about to be called bitter for this comment. Just giving you a heads up.
