am i bitch or is he?

rejected my frnd of 2 years.he confessed and all i could say was i dont see u more than j a friend(he had me distracted for a while but he liked my friend before).i was nice to him through out the whole thing den again we started talking fine but i learned he got hopeful again so i addressed and dismissed him again and eversince that he’s been completely ignoring me regardless of saying i wana cherish this friendship.Being passive aggressive and weird w me while talking more to my other frnds,is this him being petty or am i asking for too much by wanting him to be nice to me?did he never liked me as a friend?or men cant take rejection and the glorified idea of liking me was j a lie?(i think im losing my mind)
