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

[SirDoom]

The worst kind of rejection? The kind that comes immediately after acceptance.

We talked for a good while (at least a week) beforehand, I ask her if she'd like to see a movie Saturday. She says yes (This was Thursday night). The very next day, she runs into another guy. He asks her out. Same day, same time. Guess what happens next.

(Hint- Saturday morning- "Sorry, I can't go out tonight. I was really looking forward to it too =( Talk to you later". Late Saturday night, Via Twitter- "That was a wonderful first date!")

The sad part is that this was the first relationship type situation that I've ever not kept hidden, so the following day several friends (who saw the tweet) asked me how the date went =/

Lemme see. I asked this girl out in which she proceeded to take advantage of that for a month until she finally rejected me by saying she never wants to talk to me or see me again.

 

[SovietSecrets]

Asked a girl that I liked for a LONG time out and she just respectfully turned me down. I feel bad that thats my worst one.

She of course gave the "You're a sweet guy and a good friend" speech. Life goes on though...

I fucking hate that excuse.
Whenever that comes up to me I hit them with a Frederic quote: It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.
(replace the word marriage with whatever you need)

That sir, is gold. I will use that.

I wouldn't call it an excuse. Friendship isn't really a substitute for romance. I wouldn't even want to be with someone who didn't love me. To know that deep inside, your significant other doesn't really want a romantic relationship with you has got to be the worst feeling in the world.

Worse thing that could happen if you just get rejected for asking someone who doesn't know you like what happened to JHarry5;

I asked someone out at my school...
She said no.

Then the news spread like wildfire, everyone found out. I didn't hear the end of it for six months. Hardly a day went by when I wouldn't have at least one joke session made about it.
Hmm... I wonder who started that? [/bittersarcasm]

But yeah, that destroyed my confidence.
[sub]It's never really recovered...[/sub]

That's what happens. If it's a friend then you'll be rejected but still be friends not that it's any better but it's not as worse.

If you found someone you met for the first time and she was into you but her friends kept her away from you(yes, that happened to me)then it's not so bad when you're out of the home state but if it happened at school or somewhere at your hometown you'd become a laughing stock at the mercy of a gossip who'll also most likely bribe you to keep their trap shut(no that gossip part didn't happen to me, I was out of the home state at the time)and if it was with someone you know one of that persons friends is keeping the person you like away so he/she can have you all to his/herself.

I have never been rejected, only because I've never asked. I've never asked because of that fear of rejection, chances are I'll never ask anyone out because of it.

 

[Sion_Barzahd]

"Never." it was a short and bitter-sweet answer. I was actually speechless as she calmly stood up and walked away.
That rejection was crippling. My friends laughed, and eventually i did too.

(incidently i got with her a month later as we started talking.)

 

[Xcelsior]

"You're a sweet guy and a good friend" speech.

This right here is the worst thing that can happen, had it way too many times.

 

[SeriousSquirrel]

How about having a girl laugh at you after you tell her you like her? In front of one of your friends no less...then while your still hanging out she starts giving her number to random guys?

I'm dead fucking serious. I was just way confused as she'd been flirting with me a lot in the weeks before, but I've since learned she's just a flirty person. Not too upset, being rejected several times will do that for ya

EDIT: This topic gave me a good laugh, probably has some of the most jaded, cynical, and sarcastic comments I've ever seen

 

[Spinozaad]

A blunt: "Hell no. You're ugly."

Was the worst I got. But a sarcastic: "Yes. You need ugly people, so that aggressive, stupid cunts like you have some redeeming quality" shut her up.

Well, it did not exactly shut her up. But it did restore the status-quo somewhat.

 

[SuperUberBob]

Have been rejected. Stings for a couple of days but then you move on.

Tons of women out there. There's bound to be one of them out there that's interesting.

 

[The Rockerfly]

You could kill yourself

That would be a pretty bad rejection

 

[Naheal]

Typically, I'm the one who says "no", so I don't get the terrifying thing.

 

[RhombusHatesYou]

She is so repulsed by your advances that she has her cop brother and some of his cop mates play human pinata with your head.

STUPID POLICEMANS, MY HEAD IS NOT FULL OF DELICIOUS TREATS!
