Is it normal to still want to date someone even if they friendzoned you?

I had a crush on a guy for a year, and finally told him recently. Sadly, he said it wouldn't work because we are "too different". He didn't really explain what he meant by that, but maybe it's because he's from a very religious family and I'm not...who knows. He doesn't seem to want to say exactly.

I tried to put him out of my mind, at least in that way. We are still friends and everything. But I can't shake the feeling of wanting to go out with him, even if it was only once...hell, I'd take a one-night-stand even, normally I'm not into that.

It's like literally no other guy can make me happy except him right now.

It doesn't help that he seems to look at me differently, always did. Staring, looking into my eyes, stuff like that. I'm reading way too much into that, probably...

Is it normal to obsess like this even though I got turned down?

    Life sucks and so do people and in particular guys.

    He would probably end up cheating on you anyway so who cares

    No, it's not normal.

    It's creepy if a guy does it, and it's still creepy if a girl does it.

    If you actually gave a damn about him, you'd respect his decision. But clearly, it's all about you.

    I feel exactly the same towards a girl that when I finally told her my feelings for her she said “oh, I don’t feel that way about you” we were both silent for a while then just kept on talking. That was 4 years ago We are both 15 and I’m still very attracted to her physically and emotionally. One way love hurts, a lot.

    Maybe it's somewhat normal to still be attracted to the guy, but however you feel you have to respect the word no. Whenever someone you are attracted to says no you have to respect that, because it's just a fact of life. What you need to do is to try to get over it. Maybe you should spend less time with your friend?

    Obsessing over it like this isn't normal. You're just setting yourself up for heartbreak.

    I'll go out on a limb and say yes. You say his family is very religious but you are not. Maybe he thinks his family won't like you because of that. From what you say I get the idea he likes you a lot too. DAMN the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!
