Ali If you rejected him and he gave up immediately this explains how he feels about the rejection.
There are several instances that I will talk about here for you to understand why he gave up on you the moment you rejected him.
Some guys will keep pursuing you even after you have rejected them because they believe you might change your mind about them.
Others will give up when you reject them because they have made peace that you don’t have feelings for them.
There are several reasons why he gave up the moment you rejected him; some of them have something to do with how he felt after you rejected him while others are just about him.
Not all guys handle rejection the same way. Some react negatively to rejection because they take it personally.
These types of guys will cut you off the moment you tell them that you don’t have feelings for them.
In this article, I will share some of the reasons why he gave up on you the moment you rejected him.
You need to understand why he gave up so that if you are planning to pull him back you will have an idea of how to go about it.
This is why he gave up when you rejected him;
1. You hurt his feelings.
He gave up when you rejected him because he was hurt. The rejection hit him hard.
He knew that continue pursuing you would only keep hurting his feelings and that is why he gave up.
It can also be that the way you expressed yourself to him after he told you he had feelings for you was too harsh.
He didn’t expect you to reply the way you did. What you said after he expressed what he felt for you broke his heart completely.
When a guy is hurt the only thing he will think of is distancing himself from you.
You broke his heart into pieces the moment you rejected him, so he didn’t have the energy to keep fighting for your love.
He knew there was no way he could convince you to let him in. This made him feel that he ran out of options and that is why he gave up on you.
For some guys, when they are hurt after rejection, this tends to ruin their self-esteem thus affecting their confidence too.
The way they felt around you won’t be the same anymore. They will find it hard to face you again to repeat the things they said.
He doesn’t feel good enough to talk to you again after you broke his heart. What he thinks is that you will keep rejecting him even if he approaches you for the second time.
2. He wasn’t too serious about you.
He stopped pursuing you after you rejected him because he wasn’t too serious about you.
The intensity of his feelings wasn’t full to the brim. He was only pursuing you for leisure.
It can be that he had feelings for you and that is why he made an effort to approach you, but they weren’t that strong.
He wasn’t too much invested in you but he approached you anyway.
When you rejected him, he didn’t see the need to keep pursuing you because he wasn’t that keen to lure you into his life.
A guy who is seriously into you will keep on pushing after you reject him. He will want to do things to show you that you mean a lot to him.
He won’t stop pursuing you the moment you say no to him. It can be that he was just practicing his pick-up lines with you.
You were the tool he was using to sharpen his skills. If a guy is too serious about you, that will show on how he expresses his feelings for you.
If he was too shallow when it came to expressing how he felt about you, it may be that he wasn’t too serious about you.
He didn’t mean most of the words he said to you. This is the kind of guy who would have used you and dumped you if you could have accepted him.
You were approached by a joker. A guy who has genuine feelings for you and is serious about what he wants from you, wouldn’t just give up on you.
He will keep pursuing you several times before he decides to stop.
3. He approached you to test how you feel about him.
When you rejected him, he walked away immediately because he was just testing you, it’s not that he had feelings for you.
He just wanted to know how you felt about him and how you perceived him and it’s not because he wanted to be with you.
Some guys like this habit of approaching women just to test them. Others approach women just to gauge themselves.
They want to see how many women they can bring into their box.
When he said he had feelings for you and wanted you to be in a relationship with him, that was only a test.
He walked away after you rejected him because he wasn’t genuine when he said he was in love with you. What he wanted was to know how you felt and thought about him.
Don’t be surprised if he was the kind of guy who was full of pride while expressing how he felt about you.
That is not someone who was in love with you, he walked away because he got the information he wanted from you.
Not all guys who say they want to be with you mean it, some are just curious to know how many women they can successfully seduce.
4. You were not the only woman he was pursuing.
He stopped texting you after you rejected him because you were not the only woman he was pursuing.
There were other women lined up and he was probably waiting for a response from all of them.
You were one of the women who were in that queue, when you rejected him you only made things easier for him.
He was not bothered when you said no. It didn’t hurt him. What he did was let your chat go down the line as other women kept on texting him.
If a guy has so many options, he won’t be bothered when you reject him because he has other women to choose from.
The truth is that if you were his only choice, he wouldn’t have given up on the moment you rejected him.
He would have tried different things to convince you to let him in.
Right now, he is just choosing the next woman he should approach. You fell out of the list so there is no need to keep texting you at all.
If a guy is persistent with you, it shows that you are his main choice and someone he wants to be with so badly.
But if a guy gives up on the first attempt after you reject him, you are not his first choice. You were one of the women he wanted to have in his life.
There are others who he can approach and keep him busy.
If you were the only woman he had in his mind, he would have found a way to be closer to you. He would have been texting and calling you just to remind you of how he felt about you.
Why should he waste his time on you when other women can give him a chance?
What is the need for him begging you to let him in when other women are waiting for him in his DM?
He stopped texting you after you rejected him because he was busy trying his shot with other women.
5. He only wanted a romantic relationship with you and nothing else.
When a guy sets his mind on you it’s harder for him to let you out of his sight.
If he came to you because he was interested in you, the only thing he wanted was a romantic relationship and nothing else, he stopped talking to you because you didn’t give him what he expected.
When you rejected him, he knew there was nothing else that could go on between the two of you.
You didn’t meet his expectations and you didn’t give him what he wanted. So, what is the need for him to talk to you?
If he liked you as a friend first and then later on, he developed feelings for you, when you reject a guy like this, he will still hang around.
He came to you as a friend, you will continue to be his friend and nothing will change that.
But if a guy was attracted to you and all he wanted from you was to be with you romantically, if you rejected this kind of guy, he would stop talking to you.
He will walk away from you because you can’t give him what he wants. Staying around you will only keep hurting his feelings.
All that time he was around you, he never looked at you as a friend; you were always something more to him.

If you wanted a guy to be your boyfriend and he rejected you, would you still be around him as a friend when you know that he will date someone else and not you?
He didn’t have a point of talking to you anymore because you are not on the same page.
6. He didn’t want to seem so desperate for you.
You rejected him and he gave up on you not because he doesn’t feel you that much, he just doesn’t want to be seen desperate.
We have guys who let their pride take control of everything. And we have those who have certain principles in their lives that they abide by.
He expressed his feelings for you knowing that you felt the same way about him.
You made it clear to him that you don’t feel anything for him and you can’t be with him.
When you were giving him your response after he told you how you felt about him, he listened carefully to you and understood that you didn’t feel anything for him.
So, the thought of him coming back to you and repeating the same words he said to you earlier, doesn’t add up to him.
This will only make him look so desperate before you. He thinks that this might end up ruining his reputation.
You would end up disrespecting him if he came back to you begging for you to let him in.
He gave up on you because he didn’t want you to think he was so desperate for your love.
When you reject a guy and he ends up ignoring you, it’s because he doesn’t want to be seen as desperate.
He may be seriously into you but he thinks that blowing up your phone or replying to your texts and calls after the rejection will make him look weak.
Lastly…
He ghosted you after you rejected him because he didn’t want anything to do with you.
You hurt his feelings and he just wants to forget about you and move on. The rejection hit him hard and that is why he doesn’t want even to be in touch with you.
When a guy gives up on you after you have rejected him for the first time, this clearly shows that he wasn’t seriously into you.
A man who has feelings for you will never just walk away from you the moment you reject him.
He will keep on pursuing you for several days or weeks, but if you keep rejecting him that is when he will walk away from you.
The way you handle someone after you have rejected him also plays a role in how he will react.
If you keep on pushing him away after you have said no to him, he will give up on you.
That will give him a clear indication that you don’t feel anything for him. Chasing you will only keep wasting his time.
