Getting Rejected : What's the worst that could happen?

[Baggie]

I would prefer the 'get really close and then go for the long awaited kiss' thing often seen in Hollywood.
Okay, it doesn't happen often in real life but hey....it would be my ideal approach if I was going to go for a girl. Which I'm not.

QFT. Or at least in my personal case. For some reason I'm very very good at getting in the friend zone.

And here's the problem with modern relationships. Everyone expects a fucking hollywood fairy tale. Oh- they'll qualify it with statements about it being rare or idealistic... but that doesn't stop them from believing it's out there for them, because- they're special.

Them. And everyone else.

 

[Syntax Error]

I've often heard the statement:
"Ask her out, you've got nothing to lose. The worst that could happen is she'll say no."

WRONG.
There is much worse that can happen, and you have lots to lose.
So, I ask you escapists, what is the worst rejection you have ever received when asking out a member of the opposite (or same) sex?

I once had someone laugh at me, then proceed to avoid and ignore me for a year, while spreading rumours about me.

Misery loves company, so let's hear it.

Bruised ego for an indefinite period of time. Probably a comatose social life if it all goes awry in the worst way possible.

Well, I've only ever been rejected once, and it completely CRUSHED me. I'd gotten to know this chick pretty well over a couple of months, and I really liked her. So one day I manned up, asked her out. This is when I find out she has a boyfriend, and that she doesn't really consider me "boyfriend-material." I then asked her if there was any chance whatsoever of us ever being together. What does she say? "Probably not." PROBABLY NOT?! That's getting rejected with a side of soul-crushing hope.

 

[Aerodynamic]

Oh god, Finally getting the courage to ask someone out, going to her house to do so, only to see she moved the day before.

GOD DAMN WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN TO ME.

 

[Outright Villainy]

I was only rejected once; funnily enough I didn't even feel that bad about it, I just wanted to know, and was sick of waiting. I kind of realised after that I didn't even have those feelings anymore so it ended up for the best, we were still friends and that jazz. The not knowing can make you want it more methinks. (my friend used take this to ridiculous degrees...)

I also rejected a girl, and she hated my guts for ages after. I may have... slightly... strung her along. I did feel really bad about it after. Ah well, you know femal attention, men become idiots!

Right, OT: the worst thing is the one mentioned where they said nothing, realistically that's probably one of the worst things if it's just super awkward. That, or it's in school and everyone finds out. School is full of idiots...

 

[Katana314]

Clerk: Well, Ma'am, the waiting period's over. Just sign here, and I'll get you your .38 and a box of ammunition.
Woman: Thank you very much! Who knows when I'll end up needing this...(signs, leaves)
Guy: Oh, hey, it's you! You know, I was wondering...do you want to go out sometime?

There's your worst possible response.

 

[Quantana]

i wish i was rejected last Friday. i made out with a hot chick however she also as dumb as a brick. and all me friends and other people from school saw it. i will die a slow horrible dead tomorrow.
P.S. yes i was really drunk

 

[gavinator93]

Veteran of 5 rejections in just over a year, some being friends, some nearly friends, the 'got nothing to lose' is true in all of my cases.

worst rejection was when i was a few seconds from asking this girl out, and then she chose then to tell me that she had been going out with my best mate for nearly a week.

but i got lucky and now have a girlfriend.(sweet)

 

[JRCB]

Well, I'm going to be asking a girl out on Tuesday (or some later time that week), and if she says yes, that would make her my first girlfriend. If she says no, I really hope she still likes me as a friend. Or maybe reschedule for a later date. There's always a flicker of hope, I guess.

 

[Flamezdudes]

Your confidence plumets. You see, i've never had a GF and i recently stopped dating after a week of dating a good friend. Fucking hurts.
I did tell her my feelings a month before and she said i was just a friend, she now comes to me and starts dating me and then a week later says i'm not the guy she's looking for. Ugh...

 

[Supreme Unleaded]

OT: I haven't been rejected. Not that I'm irresistable, I just like to be very sure that they'll say yes when I ask.

Pretty much this. The only girl i asked out said yes, we were dating stabily untill last week when her mom, who hates her, got mad and said she could no longer date.

When i calmly asked her mom why we couldnt date she went ape shit and said all i wanted was sex and she threw a vase at me. Just because im 14 doesnt mean all i want is sex, sure alot of 14 year olds are like that but im not.

/rant

I just like being sure of whom i going to ask out before i acually ask them out.

 

[Brain_Cleanser]

she shot me in the foot with a .22.

I got set on fire.

I've always looked at it as "There are better things to do than wallow in self pity" and got along with my life. Chin up and all that jazz.

 

[SnipErlite]

Laughter I think would be the worst

But then I usually only ever ask girls out once we're...close, so I don't have that risk.

 

[Gorrister]

Meh, I've been turned down so many times I swear I might be a duvet cover. But whatever yeah? They're probably all lesbians anyway, right?

 

[Dr. wonderful]

She rejects you and her boyfriends with friends knock you out, post it on youtube and you become a new internet meme:

"You wanna go out?"

*Smash mouth*

 

[ThrobbingEgo]

The only thing you can possibly lose by asking someone out is the fantasy you've set up in your head. And maybe you'll be ridiculed by her friends if she's an immature prick, but then why would your want to date her in the first place.

On the plus side, you'll have closure. If you get rejected you can stop fixating on her and find someone else.

 

[Ultress]

Nothing too bad, I've gotten about a paragraph on why she wants to be friends. What I do to myself after said rejection is worse. But we're on ok terms and I'm picking her up from school tomorrow so she doesn't hate that bad.

Same with my second rejection except for the picking up part.

 

[Liberaliter]

People really shouldn't be afraid of rejection, its not that hard to find someone.

 

[Rolling Thunder]

Castration.


I assure you, it can happen.
