Do guys take rejection to heart becasue a guy asked me out and I said no. This was few years ago and I met him recently and he's still mad at me becasue I said when he asked me I actually did like the guy but I didn't know if he saw me as friend or girlfriend? He said I was total towards him and I wasn't. I might been mean teasing and making jokes but that's all. I emailed him and said I liked him and he was nice to me but he also had tons of other attention as well beside me but I probaby made him mad.

wonderingcat agony auntOn the other hand, if he still carries on being "mad" at you for being rejected, years afterward, that's not a good sign either.

If he was "smart", he would have just put a tick on a box labelled "not a nice girl" - that be you.

Not every guy - or girl - carries a grudge over a rejection. We all face rejection every day in our lives. Bus/train is full, they shut the door on our face. The florist would not give you a discount. You are not dressed according to code so they won't let you in into the restaurant/club. Etc etc etc. Imagine if we carried a grudge for every rejection we get. Carrying a grudge just eats away the good stuff that is in a person.

Not every girl/guy rejects by making fun of the person. Conversely, not every girl/guy is considerate and polite in giving a rejection.

Be nice to people and people will be nice to you. Well, most of the time anyways.

mulattoman agony auntIt all depends on the person. Some have humility, and some don't. Just do yourself a favor, don't be a bitch, and let them down lightly - and making fun isn't nice at all. I'm sure you'd want the same if being rejected.
