Girls, how to not be awkward around a guy you rejected?

[ThisGirl_IsAwkward]

I seriously don't know how to act every time we bump into each other. I just friggin want to evaporate and magically disappear at times we meet each other. It's almost 4 years but i still feel awkward whenever i see him. I want to hate myself for remembering the tiniest details of the past (high school). I'm supposed to be over it at this point. I didn't actually told him personally but I kept avoiding him since the day I've known that he likes me (high school). I feel extremely pathetic not being able to gather myself up and not feel awkward.
P.S. Help me out girls. Pretty please! :)

I'm not really sure why you feel awkward.. so you somehow became aware that he was interested in you, you didn't feel the same but there was never any sort of discussion with him regarding it?

The best way to not feel awkward when things like that happen is to act like nothing happened. You 'rejected' him, so give him a little bit of no contact to sort of shrug off any embarrassment he may feel, if you're actually friends and whatnot. After that, just act exactly like you were before. Don't bring it up in conversation, try to keep bringing up your interest in other guys to a minimum as well.

Yes, however we kinda have few common friends and i was told by one that he's crushing on me. At first I was like it's not even true but one time I bumped into this guy at school again with his guy friend, and his friend called me and said things about how his friend feels about me. It was very awkward for me at that moment. Thanks a lot for giving me you opinion. I'll keep it in mind and apply it next time i see him. by the way, we're not really friends but we do know each other yet were not necessarily close.
Note: Yesterday it was Black Friday here and I went to church, we met again. That's why i was bothered even more. I avoided him. We both saw each other.

ok yeah.. try to avoid anything that may encourage his feelings for you. Don't be overly friendly/talkative, don't touch him at all even in a friendly manner like poking his arm when making a point, etc.. I guess just continue being nice, but create some distance and avoid being overly friendly if that makes sense.

Thank you! I'm so gonna apply what you've said on this matter. It's better than me continuing to be socially awkward towards this guy. Take care :)
