Tweez, if it were 5 years ago we'd go out and likely both have our hands full. From pics and your posts my take is you're a hottie with a strong personality, brains, and you're a bit of a tomboy. Some guys like that but other guys just can't handle it. As they say in the car industry, "a butt for every seat." Some guys like to play games and beat around the bush - as do some women. And some people don't really even know their own feelings, let alone articulate them. You seem pretty direct, and he gave you a pretty direct answer. Honor it and move on. My armchair psych take is that his rejection is eating at you. Nobody likes the "let's be friends" answer. Even if *you* wanted to just be friends, you don't want to hear him say it.
No matter how hot you are, or how confident you are, the ego rears its head from time to time. After having done plenty of "work" on myself (no, not the surgical kind), I still find my ego pushing its way forward plenty of times. The trick is to notice when it happens, say to yourself, "hmm, that's interesting," and then move past it.
