Neither one is correct. "He will be proud to talk to you" means that the act of talking to you will give him pride, in other words it will give him pride to have been asked to talk to you.Quote:

If I want to mean that "somebody will not talk to you because he is proud or because of his pride", do I say "He will be proud not to talk to you" ?
No, sy: "He will be too proud to talk to you".Quote:

And yes "He will be proud not to talk to you" means " He will not talk to you because of his pride"
