Speaking for myself obviously and this may vary from country and culture.
No, not necessarily. My first instinct is how she friend zoned, if it was mean, public, shaming, then probably on the “enemy, avoid at all costs” list.
”SEEM”, hmm so he think she friend zoned him? Guys generally prefer facts than presumptions. Unfortunately when dealing with girls/women/females men realise they have to tiptoe and not be forward, if they’re unsure these days they’ll play it safe and presume she friend zoned him.
I wouldn’t mind still being friends if it didn’t work out, long as she didn’t rip me a new one when saying so. Of course maybe that comes with maturity and in the height of hormones it’ll be a more confrontational emotional reaction.
Unfortunately if you’re going to demonise men approaching you, as the media have for over a decade or more, then that puts the onus on the females to be clearer, and diplomatic when doing it.
We do also need to help the youth gain some emotional intelligence and self control, both boys and girls and be aware of their effect on each other. It’s that lack of understanding that leads to a lot of conflict and recrimination, in the west at least.
Some do -- they feel entitled to a woman's attention and feel cheated when they don't get it. Mature guys just say "no problem" and continue whatever relationship they had before he asked.
