They could not like you because one day your hair was messy or because you talk to fast. It happens. I try to ignore the impossible (changing someone's mind to fit a different perspective) and embrace the wonder of human emotion. Sure, they can be mean, nasty and dislike us for no reason; but we are strong, capable and ready to move forward. My suggestion: Make nice. Never talk bad about this person (no matter how steamed or confused you may be) and always be pleasant with them. Strike up conversations and make it light and easy (I like to find one really good thing to say first, like "Hey, I really like that eyeshadow you have on today"). And if the conversation turns sour or you don't get a positive back, look at your watch and say, "Oh wow, I really gotta get moving! Thanks for talking with me. Have a wonderful day!" It really confuses them how you can be so nice...and no matter how bad they are, you know you're always doing the right thing! Shannon-people are people.

She would literally mouth the words "slut" or make faces at me and a mutual friend from across a club... I would think to myself... "how old is she again?" lol. You have to ignore that stupidity. Even if she/he continues it.. ignore it. Sufficed to say, this one girl, after months of me ignoring her... eventually grabbed my butt.. she was plain nuts. I'd advise staying clear from that kind of melodrama. I’ve had someone not like me at all for no apparent reason, at least none that I was aware.
