Why do girls get awkward with you after they reject you?

Anonymous
I've always wondered why girls get awkward after they reject me. I'll ask a girl out and she'll reject me, most reject me in a nice manner and all is well. I can handle rejection, so if a girl I like and want to get to know better says "no" then it isn't an issue. I don't get angry, I don't get upset, I accept her answer and I won't ever ask her again. I draw a line under the sand and carry on with life as per usual.

I'd even like to remain civil or eventually become friends with some of these girls at a later date. However I find that all of the girls that have rejected me have then gone on to become awkward around me, they'll ignore me and the most recent girl to reject me acts as though I don't even exist.

I just don't get it, why does there needs to be such awkwardness? It's not awkward for me, I'm fine with it, so why aren't most of the girls I've asked out? I can't be that ugly and repulsive surely? haha!
