What do you mean when saying he acts like a "young master-wizard?"

>The boy rejects the girl. What's happening here??

People "reject" people for zillions of reasons.  Could be karmic, could be
personality clashes, could be the gentleman is not interested in a serious
relationship, could be. . .could be. . .could be. . .?

Absolutely, she can have and do both.  Romance teaches us many things -
compassion, sharing, caring, moves us away from self-focus.  Following the
"narrow path" need not include a barren and sterile love life.

How does she know that her karmic destiny requires her to live a life
devoid of intimate relationships?  Just because one potential relationship
does not appear to be working out certainly does NOT mean that love is
still not part of her "karmic" destiny.

It may be under NO "wisdom" at all -  or it could be for the better for
both of them to not become involved with each other - or it may eventually
work out.  Again, many reasons could account for his decision.

Actually, in my opinion, telling her to "get another guy" may come across
as a dismissal of her emotions in this situation.  Perhaps gently
suggesting that she search and listen to her "inner voice" for guidance may
be more advantageous, especially while her pain is still quite raw.  I
seriously doubt, however, that this gentleman is a "once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity."  We sometimes think people are - especially when our emotions
are involved - but that rarely proves to be true.  I am sure there are
other gentlemen out there who will openly share with her love and
companionship.

>What Theosophy has to tell in this rather strange strange case??

Unsure about Theosophy, but you got Kym's take on the happenings!
