I like a guy, I confess my feelings towards him, he told me he do like me but as a friend (rejected) but now he always pat me what does that mean?

The actual over all situation is, before confessing my feelings towards him I sometime felt he might like me because of the way he used to behave with me all ( spending more time with me then the actual group or other friends, being comfortable around me , hugging me whenever he is happy, patting on my head but after his rejection I got to know through my other friend ( the mutual one between us ) that he likes someone else and it was the reason he rejected me. I accept the situation. After the confession we were not that comfortable around each other but as time passed like after 6 to 7 months he started being same with me. Aahhhhhhh and he always pat my head ( daily ) please let me know what does this actually mean?

Perhaps that is his way for "making up" for rejecting you. That would be my first guess but I don't really know. It is hard for any of us to know what is going through his head and why the change in behaviour. If it is something that bothers you, ask him to stop.

That isn't something friends really do and to me a bit condescending (the head pat). If it were my friend, I would tell him to knock it off. As far as hugging goes, that isn't entirely uncommon between friends.

I have a friend that moved away and I get to see maybe once a year. When I do see her, first order of business is a big hug. That is just because I miss her though and not because I have any sort of romantic feelings towards her.

Some people are like that, others aren't. I wouldn't read too much into that part of it but maybe talk to him about patting you on the head. That would bother me.

' Making up ' yes may be this is the reason.
IG I got the answer

Kind of sounds like to me. Look at it as overcompensating.

Maybe he loves you but he doesn't know how to express it to you.
Please don't force yourself on someone who doesn't love you all in the name of you catching his attention.

Catching attention - one of my friend told me the same thing

Yes I'm trying my best to move on, and ig i can make it

Pat is like little sister.

Kinda like petting a dog. Dogs are everyone’s best friends.

Obviously, there are some good qualities in you. No one takes the time to be that friendly to just anyone !!

[In_Trance]

It means you're wasting your time. Move on
