Recently ive been without friends and have been trying to make some. One being a guy that I work with. Were around the same age and I thought he was a cool guy. I explained to how I needed friends and wanted someone to actually hang out with. Eventually we exchanged numbers and ever since ive been trying to hang out with him and every time he's shut me down. Ive asked him to grab drinks with me, to go to sports games and to see movies that we talk about at work. That last one bothers me a little because one time I told him about a movie and he was interested and he went and seen it with some girl and just recently i asked him to see a movie that we watched the trailer for and talked about and when the movie came out I asked him if he would want to go see it. His response was "its possible but probably not" that made me so mad that I responded by saying "I dont even see why you respond if all you're going to do is say no all the time" he didnt respond after that lol and we haven't talked at work. I really just want to know if im just pressing to much. All I wanted was a friend and I feel like im being made a fool. Do I just stop asking people to do things when they say no the one time?
so just a small update
So after our text exchange it was awkward (at least for me) at work. We worked a 3 day weekend and for the first two days I sorta avoided him and we didnt talk. Typically id say hello and we talk about whatever but I didnt say anything to him. But at lunch time today when there were no seats at the main table he offered up his seat. I took it as a good sign and we had a small conversation about lunch. Later in the day we were just sitting around in the same room and I decided to talk to him and we had good conversation. Just about random stuff ranging from work to crumbl cookie to the gym.
I'll just say lesson learned.
I won't ask him to do anything else and just try to become closer friends naturally at work
