Is it normal that a guy i turned down doesn't like me anymore?

Okay so here's the story, I've been talking to this guy I met from school, and we became really good friends. Then we started talking more and texting, and I noticed he began to like me. So he asked me out, and I turned him down. I turned him down because I didn't like him like that, only as a friend, which was what I told him.

Now all he does is send me one word texts, and barely talks to me anymore. This also happened with another guy who asked me out last year. Is this normal?

    PROTIP: Telling a guy "let's just be friends" is more or less the same thing as telling them "Hahaha, fuck you." It is NOT a nice thing to say. Ever.

    A girl did almost the same to me and i've been acting like this too for a month or so. In order to "forget" you ge probably wants to have as least contact with you as possible. It's a very effective way of forgetting someone so yeah it's normal. It's impossible to stay friends with a girl that broke your heart, believe me.

    Well it doesn't sound like you were mean about it, but he moved on because he knows you don't like him in that way. Or maybe he took it harder than you intended.

    They didn't want to be just friends. They wanted something more.... And when you didn't want to give them that they just dropped you completely. They had zero interest in being friends. This has happened to me many times. Im just telling it like it is.

    it's normal to be sad when he doesn't want to be friends anymore, because it's almost like you valued the friendship more than he did! But it's important to give him his space, because what is right for him might be to find another girl who is both his best friend and lover. And being around you too much and missing you might keep him from finding someone who would honestly be a better match. It's like the story of the rat that has to let go of the smaller piece of cheese he's already holding in order to pick up the bigger piece of cheese he finds along the way. It's not that he wasn't truely friends with you, it's just that he needs to let go so he can find what's better for him.

    This has happend to me a lot of times. Basically what has happend is that if he loves you then he has a very strong relationship with you and you saying no is basically a punch in the face and a fuck off to him. He will get over it in a few weeks depending on how much he loves you. He'll come running back, trust me. I'm not saying say yes because it's your feelings and we shouldn't change them. Talk to him when he is alone in person and not in text form because you can show emotion, speech, gestures in real life which makes it more effective than a "sorry I let you down can we be friends?:)".
