There are three ways for resolving the conflict: If you're reading this and answered yes to the last question, you've chosen option one: accept that they don't like you and pursue a friendship. That is a significant step forward, but it remains troublesome if they continue to send you contradictory messages. You can always assume that they don't like you until they show you otherwise. If you chose option two: ignore them, they're being stupid/self-centered/immature/spiteful/etc. Don't let it affect your relationship with them. And finally, option three: cut them out of your life completely. Don't answer their calls or emails. Don't be around when they try to talk with you. If they cause you pain, then you should probably cut them out of your life. It's not easy being friend with someone who doesn't like you, but it can be done. The most important thing is to keep your emotions out of it - if they don't want to be your friend, then they won't be your friend.
