Soo, there was this guy that asked me out a couple of days ago who's at my current summer ceramics class. I honestly had things to do (bleh, i have stuff to do for the rest of the summer DX) so I told him i couldn't. He must have thought that I was being mean or something because now he's always sad when he sees me and doesn't talk. :( I think I hurt him somehow...and now I'm totally stuck and don't know what to do...

He's probably upset he was rejected, no matter the reason.
Assuming you actually wouldn't mind going out with him, go up to him and try to reschedule on a day more convenient for you.

Even if you DON'T want to go out with him, he'll get over it sooner or later. Rejection sucks, but he'll move on and find a new girl to like. You can probably start talking to him again then... I'd give him a little space if you don't want to date him, to let him recover. :]

He probably just feels awkward around you as well... Maybe he feels as though you think he is gross and such and is un-sure how to approach you again.. And yeah, rejection does hurt...

But you have to remember, for whatever reason you rejected him, it's not your fault... You shouldn't have to feel like the bad guy for not having feelings/time to want to date him. So don't feel guilty over him...

If you date him out of sympathy it'll only make you sad in the long run...

I think that you should read everyhthing before this dude. They're all right, and now it depends on you. Talk to him, give him space or suggest another day. He must feel a bit embarrased after being rejected and might think that YOU would treat him differently after his suggestions.

If you do want to go out with him eventually (I don't know if you do or not, ignore this if you don't. xD), maybe explain to him that you're really busy right now, but maybe later?

He probably isn't talking ot you, and feels angry at you because you rejected him.
He could possibly also feel awkward since it's kind of an uncomfortable situation.

Even if he's angry or whatever, if you don't want to date him, then don't.
Don't accuse yourself for his feelings after the rejection.
Sooner or later, he will forget about it and find some new girl, and talk to you again. (:

Well, I can tell you that when guys are rejected it gives them a serious blow to their self esteem... And now he's embarrassed in front of you. I'm sure he'll get over it...maybe make it up to him by inviting him over for some video games or something, or just a simple chat over lunch or something? ^^;

Hope that helps!

i know how he feels. i was rejected recently and i think, if you want to go out with him, try to rescedual. if not, then give him some space let him get over it.

Being rejected by someone will make someone avoid them and etc. I think he would be fine and get over it soon enough. Don't worry about it for too long.
