Didn't you guys just say the samething?
Guy wants girl, Girl doesn't want guy, Guy hangs around in an attempt to get their eventually.
Technically the guy chooses to be in that situation, but the alternative is to stop talking to someone that they obviously geniunely like, so it's not really an "alternative".
I don't think it happens past highschool because everyone is a little more mature and upfront with their intentions. You're not going to school with people every day and trying to build a relationship out of that anymore. You're most likely thrust into a situation that is "make or break" and hence, you go for it right away, before a friendship can develop.
