I tired to make a male platonic friend, and it really ended badly because he wanted to be more then friends, and he got really nasty with me when I rejected him.

Sorry to hear that he didn't take kindly to being told he couldn't be anything more than a friend.
Becoming nasty over it seems like an overreaction on the surface.
Are you ok?

I'm okay, I just didn't expect him to react like that.

Sounds like a bad reaction. How did the conversation come up?

The conversation came up when he was driving me home from work, and we were just talking about different things he suddenly brought up the subject.

Hopefully he doesn't cause problems at work after this. Can you get rides from someone else?

I have another friend that I can ask to give me a rides.

Just make sure you keep something dated and in writing detailing this to keep in your file cabinet. Just in case he carries this nasty reaction into the workplace.
You are coworkers. Sure some people do have workplace involvements, at the same time there are many that don't and it's even more presumptious on his part to react so strongly to your towing that line.

But are you coworkers though did I miss something?

I recently had a similar experience. It hurts for sure. In my case I was determined to not express anything negative towards her as I have in the past. I sent in a lot of love to the situation and prayers for her well being. So his behavior reveals his character. Don't you think in any man woman relationship that sex is really significant even when denied?

You don't explain what happened or tell what was said.

Even though we work together we were more like acquaintances until recently when I decided to try and get to know him better.

[QUOTE=Talthybius;6056468]You don't explain what happened or tell what was said.[/QUOTH What happen was that after I told him that I didn't want to be romanticlly involved with him but I stilll wanted to be his friend and when I said that he didn't really give me anytime to explain why before he started to yell at me and call me names and at one point I told him to pull over so I could walk the rest of the way home.So he did that and I walked the rest of the way. I'm sorry for not explaining it more earlier.

Watch out for his demeaning nature if brings it which most scorn people might have!

I had romantic feelings for someone once they didn’t reciprocate but I figured it was better to be friends. 6 years wasted and over 1200$ he still owing me I ended the relationship. He freaked out at me. I felt like the leech was gone. In retrospect if I realized sooner then I would have never gotten involved.

If he was so much difficult with you did you ever help out with gas by any chance?

Interpersonal relationships with coworkers get sticky and leave residue everywhere.

It is one thing that he has so many negative emotions towards you; resentment, for you rejecting him.

It is another that he doesn't have the strength of personality to endure it himself and instead lash out of you.

Two major character flaws that are completely unacceptable to me.

I cannot relate to why he would do such a thing.
