Weird reaction i got from a girl-friend.

Hey! This is my first post, hi to everyone; I hope to contribute to the community.
This weird thing happened to me the other day:
I invited this girl-friend of mine over to my house after we had dinner just to play xbox a bit and watch a movie, but when we were watching the movie I started leaning on her (as I usually do with her -she's my pillow!- :3) but this time she got mad and pushed me back, saying in a mean tone "I'm not your dog, your cat nor your girlfriend!".
I sat back normally and then things got weird (even though I didn't say a thing nor complain I could feel the atmosphere getting tense) and she left.
I know why she said that, a while ago (as in days) she asked me out and I told her "no".
But even if I understand why she'd say such a thing it kinda felt brutal and uncalled for, she could've had just told me "I don't feel confortable with you leaning on me anymore" or something like that.
Is it normal for me to feel that it's as if she'd said "Become my boyfriend or no more leaning on me!" or did she mean something else?
Is it normal for me to feel pissed off and betrayed because of the way she said it?
I know I'm not the victim or anything here but I feel as if she's trying to force me to become her boyfriend if I want to stay close to her. Should I let her go as a friend?

  • She is pissed that she didn't get what she wants. It does seem like she is trying to get you to be a "partner" by implying something like "only boyfriends get to lay on me".
    Don't give her what she wants. She obviously does not value the friendship as much as you do, and I'd consider a new friend if she doesn't clear up her act.

        you deserve a girl that will lick your balls, cook you dinner, dress sexy at your direction and in general be a true woman. Never put up with a skank that plays games like that. Really? don't lean on me? grow some nads dude. women only love men that treat them like crap.
        i was a nice guy for years. once i decided to be a dick head, i got laid and can't fend them off. women by nature want to be used and live to service their man. she is just testing your testorone level. don't be a wimp

  • It sounds more like she said "Why the fuck are you leaning on me after you just rejected me?! To rub it in my face?!"

    No one's perfect, we slip up occassionally. Talk to her and if she can't get over it then you know for sure.

    Dude you're fucking with this girl man what the hell!?!? She asked you and you said no, so why the fuck are you still hanging out?! Do you know how hard that must be on her man?! Friends don't cuddle each other bitch, that's for boyfriends and girlfriends. Either stop hanging out with her or bang her.

      Girl told guy she didn't want to go any further than friendship:
      -ok to hang out.
      -guy is a dog.

      Guy told girl he didn't want to go any further than frienship:
      -should stop being friend with her, ergo no more "hanging out".
      -guy is a bastard.

      What. The. Hell?!

      Hi, because I didn't like her in a lover kind of way, she's not my type at all: she's too thin (about as thin as those annorexic manequins), she doesn't have a very good sense of humour, is depressive, and get hit on by a lot of guys.
      I don't want a high-maintenance girl I don't even like physically (or even mentally for that matters).
      I like jolly "cute" girls, not even gorgeous ones. Plus I'm not into sex so I think a lot of girls wouldn't like me.
      Anyway, that's just me. I liked her as a friend, nothing more... ever.

          Well she's interesting, I have nice conversations with her and we do stuff together like go to the movies and museums etc...
          She's my friend. You like your friends even though they aren't perfect right? Well that's the same, I like her as a friend but there's no way I'd go out with her, I don't love her.

              Indeed she isn't, I just like human contact -even more with girls- and cuddling while watching a movie was something I liked to do with her. Won't be doing it anymore though. :C

    She probably felt led on. You laying on her shoulder and making her your "pillow" probably led her to think you like her to. Then when she confessed and you rejected her, she felt stupid and used. Of coarse she didn't let you lean on her anymore. It's not that she doesn't value your friendship, she's just hurt by your actions and likely can't deal with you laying on her all the time when she has feelings for you and knows she can't have you. Laying on a girl who likes you is likely to happen, laying on a girl you reject, not so likely to happen. Right?

    This looks easy.. staying friends might just mean you can't have that physical connection like you used to.

    I don't get people telling me it's my fault.
    When a girl rejects a guy but still cuddle with him, he's "friendzoned" but it's ok because it's a girl.
    If a guy does it, it's "wrong" and he's a bastard.
    Fyi: I never cuddled in a sexual way or tried to tease her sexually. By "cuddle" I merely mean lean on her shoulder which she never complained of before.
    To all the guys calling me a fag because I didn't "jump" her:
    Incredibly all my psych tests put me at 100% masculinity, and I'm not even into sex.
    Guess masculinity is more about knowing who you are, what you want and being truthful to yourself than being a "dog" chasing after every single girl and who only likes sex.
    If you want some "manly" bullshit, I can throw some to you like how I pounded a guy into hospital not so long ago or messed up a bastard who was hitting his girlfriend in the streets.
    I'm 1m80 high, and the size of a pro american football player. I can fuck you up anytime.
    If you're so "manly", why won't you come with your idiotic insults and stereotypes to my face, then we'll see who's the "manliest".
    A true man is one who accepts his feelings and knows what he wants. Not one who hides and jumps every girl without feelings.
    If that's your lifestyle, fine by me, just don't tell me I'm "gay" because I chose to make love with women I am confortable and have a connection with.

      Yep! This definately is your first post. Everyone on here is a dumbass who worships sex like it's going to save their miserable lives. I wouldn't listen to them. Here's my opinion though. She just doesn't want to get any closer to you because she can't have you. I have a friend who's boyfriend was withholding sex for a while (Tired) but he would still push his boner up on her, it made her so upset cause she couldn't have him, so she asked him to stop so she could control herself. Different situation, but same feelings. If you're not her bf then she sounds like she still wants to be friends, but the physical stuff has to end because that was only allowed because she likes you.

  • I would think the answer is so obvious that the question need not have been asked. I hope you contribute to the community, but today is not that day. However, i do look upon those who post such things with great favour from time to time. My admiration for you may grow exponentially, depending on your knowledge of fine cheeses, human anatomy and things that are shiny. So do continue in your quest for answers, but always remember, Tommy is watching you with a cautious cat eye that glistens in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.

    Yours sincerely, Mr Tommy the cat, MD.

      Maybe I'm oblivious to how friendly man-woman relationship works, but I am not insensible to your writing style and must say it does not leave me indifferent.
      I hope after my four years of study in London I will be able to write as well as you but until then I will only pride myself on my mastery of the French language.
      Maybe one day too, I'll be able to sign an handsomely written post with a sentiment of fulfillment.
      Until then the only things I can assess properly is my ability to enjoy cheese (skill oblige as a french boy!) and how much I like your writing.

      Here I am, hoping I will have the pleasure to read you again on one of my posts. Don't pride yourself on such flattery, I am in no way an expert and only talks with my heart but I do hope your style of writing is popular amongst "normal" people (since we're on this website) because it sure is with me.
      Forgive me for any mistakes I might have made, sometimes trying your best just isn't enough.

    maybe cause you denied her then you tried being flirty and lead her on by trying to lay on her. You can't do that. If you know someone likes you, you need to give them space to get over you, not tease them.

      You're right. I didn't do it to tease her, but it wasn't smart of me.
      Thing is I rejected her a few weeks earlier and I had seen her and leaned on her before the day she just suddenly became mad. Guess it must have build up inside her.
      I'm not good with feelings since I express mine easily, but people usually keep it for themselves:
      When I don't like something I say it, and I say it loud. Same as when I like something. People have a way to keep it hidden that I don't understand.
      Anyway, thanks for being one of the few constructive comments here instead of calling me "gay" for not "jumping" her.

    I really thought you meant your girlfriend is your pillow. My second girlfriend is my pillow. My actual physical girlfriend knows this lol. I am the one who posted about smelling your pillow all the time. I am doing this as I am typing.

      Pillows are awesome! I also cuddle with my pillow, but it's sexy hot cuddling!
      I also like to smell stuff! I smell about everything, from food and my hands to my furniture. Smells are awesome!
      I have this box I got from Morocco; I think it's made out of Olive Tree, I just can't stop myself from sniffing it... the smell's just so inebriating!

      Wanting to still hang out with a friend who got attached and "asked you out" is giving her hope?
      This world's so fucked up. It's like women who want to be treated like men but still want the guys to pay the checks, the restaurant and drive them around.

          But it's ok for a girl to do the same for a guy? When a good friend of yours "asks you out" and you say "no", you just cast him out and never see him again?
          I don't want to lose her as a friend and I don't think she does either. I don't want leave a friend behind for such a stupid reason, which is why I contacted her again soon after.
          In fact in the few days after I posted this, I had a good talk with her and asked her what was going on and she told me she didn't want to lose me as a friend and that she just couldn't handle physical contact because it made her sad/angry.
          Now we just hang out as a good pair of friends, nothing more.
          What I was looking here by posting this was reinsurance, insight and a nice talk. Not some rubbish like "you're a bastard for still going out with her". Maybe your friends don't mean much for you, but I like to keep the few I have.

    This is a toughie. Even as a Christian, in todays society, or really any society since, it's hard to imagine people being friends after, a relationship, sex, or ones pronounced affection. This is an age old question. I think by being physically intimate, at the does not have to mean in a sexual way, you might have hinted that you thought of her as something more than a friend, and that may have compounded with feelings she may have already had for you. Or not, the could have fostered after this behaviour.

    You could tell her that you never meant to put out those feelings, and that maybe you shouldn't have. I can't picture a guy doing that unless they were gay, or had feelings for the girl, except in your case. Just recognize that it's probably your fault, she can't help feelings. If it get's worse, try to tell her how much she means to use as a friend, maybe you depend on her for something. Just tell her what she means to you without sounding romantic. That's as much as I can say without putting words in your mouth. I hope things go well.

      Don't know why you mentioned that, but I'm in no way Christian, nor do I see how religion could affect a friendly relationship between two people of opposite sex.
      I never hinted in on that I was interested into having a relationship with her.
      In not way am I apologizing because she grew feelings for me. Although I admit physical contact on my part might have participated to her emotional attachment, I am not responsible for it.
      I also told her what she meant for me right away saying how good a friend she was and how I didn't want things to go any further than friendship.
      I'll just keep her as a friend, guess we'll never be as close as before.
      Not my fault, not hers, "c'est la vie".

        I was only using my own faith to empathize with the issue. I wasn't accusing you of being anything.

        Because you did touch her, you are responsible for it, whether you like it or not. You should at least know that. Like I said, I don't think a woman could take it any other way, unless you were extremely effeminate, or gay, touching has always been seen as a precursor to something more. Even if you saw it differently. I'm glad you're over it.

          "unless you were extremely effeminate, or gay, touching has always been seen as a precursor to something more."
          So ignorant... or maybe I am? Where are you from?
          In france, human contact with friends happens all the time, we kiss each other as greetings instead of shaking our hands, and that's just an example.
          Anyway, maybe that's how we fail to understand each other. In france, physical contact with a friend isn't effeminate/gay-exclusive.

            Why do you ask for peoples opinions if you're just going to shut them down?

            We weren't even talking about that anymore. But if you insist, I had no idea you were from France, but in North America, we don't do that very often, touching is kind of a big deal and it's completely human, cultural or not, to respond emotionally when someone of the opposite sex is touching you unless there your parents or sibling.

    It seems as though she's your puppy dog, and by you resting your head on her lap, is like dangling a biscuit in front of that poor little puppys face, and quickly taking it away as the pup goes for it. I think she views your 'friendship' as you teasing her or leading her on.

    If you wanna be friends with her, be a friend. But don't be all cuddly with her, when you know it probably makes her feel uncomfortable, and since cuddling is really more of something you do with someone you're having sexual relations with.

    Also, don't completely burn this bridge. You might not like her now, but who knows what you'll think of her years from now. This might be something thats gonna result in; 'you don't know what you got until its gone'.

      Yeah, I'll definitely cut any physical contact whatsoever with that girl.
      But I think your metaphor for my situation was a little harsh/exagerated. I really wasn't teasing her that much.
