Bought a little girl last November. Wouldn't let me touch her either. Then she followed me to the gate and got her head stuck
between the gate and post because I did not know she was behind me. So I took the opportunity and touch her.
Guess what, now she is following me and wants to be pet. Just pure luck, that she stuck her head there.
So maybe once he was force petted, he will love you.

So today at feeding time I reached through the fence and started scratching him. At first i dont think he realized what was going on because everyone was pushing around, but then he looked right at me and continue eating so I talked to him and continued scratching. He alowed it for a long time. :clap

Those first few touches are so important. They set the idea of this is good or bad in their heads. I predict that those scratches today is the start of a beautiful relationship. Just take it slow and don't push for too much too soon (easier said than done) and before you know it he will be running to you for lovins every time he sees you.
