Why would a guy still act nice and kind, even though I rejected him?

We rarely talked much but I was certainly interested in him because he had this certain positive and nice vibe about it and he was nice to every else as well. He is also quite shy. A couple months ago he asked me out via text (I couldn't really talk to him because I was a bit too nervous and there was an awkward atmosphere around us). After asking me out via text I rejected him and he wished me well with my career and future and communication stopped there. It got even more awkward when we saw each other but he would smile and still say thanks when I give way to him in the corridors. Instead I do the opposite. I was nervous around him and would fidget a lot. I also sat on his table although I could've sat elsewhere. He still holds the door open for me but I don't understand how you couldn't be nervous in a room with someone who rejected you or you rejected. Also why do I act so nervous around him but still want to be close?
