Whenever there is a guy friend liking me, and if I reject him, there is this sense of guilt in me that I couldn't do anything to him afterwards but to avoid him. I feel mean for doing so, is it possible to be friends like before? Everytime after rejection, I don't dare to look at him in my eye or else my guilt would be too overwhelming for me to reach out. He still reaches out, but I keep taking a step backward and I just intuitively be mean and blunt to him.

Any suggestions on how to reconcile after rejection?

i guess it depends on your relationship with the guy before he asked you out. if you guys were close friends and you explained you just wanted to be friends, there'd probably be a period of awkwardness. but yeah, if you guys wanted to stay friends it probably would work out.

i get how you feel though... recently, a guy i barely knew asked me out and positively sulked about it after i rejected him. we didn't stay friends because i got really annoyed at how he began sending me 329423904 text messages, IMs and in general, kept trying too hard to be best friends with me. i just needed a ton of space from him and he still doesn't get the message. i guess we used to be friends but now i feel the harder he tries the more i dislike him.
