My crush called me cute and still rejected me after saying he needs a girlfriend. Why?

[Anonymous]

So two days ago i was asking my crush a few questions one being "can you talk other languages other than English and afrikaans?" So he replied with "Spanish. Hola bonita" so i searched what bonita meant and it said cute. Then he said on his status he needs a girlfriend but no one likes him and then he said to me "question" i replied "?" And he asked "Do you like someone" and i said "yes" so he asked me "who" i said who does he like and he saud his crush already rejected him so i said he must promise not to tell anyone and he promised so i told him its him and he said he had a suspicion so i asked would he be my boyfriend and he said no yesterday and today he said on his status "I need a girlfriend" and i replied "you could of had 1 but you rejected me" so i dont know why he rejected me after he said "hola bonita" meaning "hi cute" i am so confused right now can someone help me

Even if he thinks you are cute that is not enough to get you a relationship. Just as women will have sex with some guys and put others in the friend-zone men will categorize women into either "relationship material" or "recreational use only". He likely saw some traits in you that made you unsuitable for a relationship in his eyes, examples of this are tattoos, piercings, danger hair, having a bunch of friends that are dudes or hoes, talking too much about or maintaining contact with exes, or having slutty pictures on social media.

Lets look at this from his POV; if you're already friends through work, education or neighbours, you'll likely come across one-another. He currently sees you as a friend, and if you were to start dating and it breaks down, he would not only lose a friend, but it would also become awkward whenever you talk or pass one another.

Cute May refer only to your physical appearance and more than that is required for someone to be girlfriend material. Whatever the reason is, you’ve been rejected and you need to move forward.

he may just see you as a friend. just because he said you were attractive doesn't necessarily mean he sees you as a potential girlfriend. it sounds like he may just like you as a friend

Maybe he doesn't want to risk losing a friendship if you don't work out.

He finds you attractive, but he doesn't feel a romantic energy with you.

He is probably just a really flaky male.
