In reality, people hate others as their self defense. Yes it is fine to have self defense, but to ignore someone is to not be read to comply with their demands, I don't think hate and ignore mean the same, or our hearts feeling are the same. For instance, you are arguing with your mates whether it's fine to abstain from sex until marriage. Some mates, would say it is fine and you know they won't change their mind, what would you do instead? Yes I will ignore them if they cling to their demand not necessary to hate them. That sound childish to me. Because they have right to express their feeling if I am not interesting no matter how much you have tried, this means I am ignoring you even though we keep chatting.
For me, to ignore someone's demands, is to intentionally not read to pay attention to their interests.

Oh! Thanks, Nema!
Now I got what you meant by ignoring: It was refered to ignoring their selfish or sinful demands.
Yes!
Such ways of "ignoring" do match my "defensive" mode (Although I think that, during the courtship-dating process, mates could be involved in activities that may lead a person to sex).
Let me explain it a bit:
* If I kissed my daughters, that was not sex.
* If I kissed (or hugged) any of those "mates", my brain could be thinking in sex.
I´d better ignore the feelings of my silly brain (and their brains).
