How do I deal with rejection?

Be glad that she said no from the very beginning, and didn't wait till after several dates and then tell you.  Rejection always hurts, but it also means that there is someone better for you.

Well the first approach is simple.....ASK\n\nBut if you are afraid of rejection, you can observe his actions after the date.  If he calls, he likes you. If not, he is not intrested and you should move on.  If your not sure, you can call him and pursue the relationship and see how he reacts.  If you get alot of excuses, he moree than likely is not intrested.\n\nGood luck and keep your chin up!

Get to know another guy (probably friend) find out some about them, then try to guess if you think you'd stand a chance or not. If you think you'll get rejected just don't try, if you think he might be curious, then go ahead and give it a shot.

It is quite simple.  If you have regrets, listen to yourself and reach out to him.  Ultimately, you have nothing to lose and every possible chance to gain.  Even if you get rejected, at least you will be satisfied that you tried.  Although you may feel uncomfortable about the lapse in time, you can communicate that to him and explain why that happened.  Most people would understand how changes in life can sweep you away, time wise as well as emotionally, making you delay other things that normally you would attend to.  You may also want to add that you regret if you caused him some bad feelings by not following up.  The fact that you would reach out to him and again request that he go out with you, in itself would show that your not playing games.

aww dont worry about that .. if she does reject you then shes not the right one ... love will come your way i know it! 'cause i was the same way lol i thought i was completely hopeless for me to find love 'cause i only had like 3 boyfriends that only lasted a week lol i didnt have any luck with guys ... but with a little waiting i've found a wonderful boyfriend that i've been dating for 10 monthes now! \n\nmy advice to you is, if she does reject you dont fret .. just get more social with girls ... dont try to get in a relationship right away, just kinda look at what kind of girl you are looking for, whats out there and make some new friends ^_^  'cause if  you rush into love it will only hurt ..\n\ntake things slow and enjoy life!\nyou wont be single for long\n\nhope my advice helped ya out some

welcome to a mans world with the fear of rejection.  If you don't do anything now, you might pass up a great thing.  You never know until you do something about it.  Ask him if he wants to do dinner sometime.

It is hard to move on and most of us have been there.  The worst thing you can do is dwell on the man and the situation: what could I have done differently, maybe if I had....STOP.  \n\nFigure out if the emotions are in fact toward him, or the rejection.  Sometimes sadness can be overwhelming and you cannot differentiate between, was he really right for me and I miss him so, or damnit I was dumped and I feel horrible.  \n\nSTAY BUSY and surround yourself with people who can make you laugh, keep you preoccupied with an activity as opposed to your thoughts.  Try not to be alone...everything will remind you of him.  \n\nWork out.  I know it's one of those flippant answers like "get a makeover," but it really does help.  Not only can you release the frustrations, tension, you will look better!  \n\nSay to yourself: Ok, I'm going to allow myself one more day to wallow in my misery and that's it.  That's enough.  I'm better than this and he will not get one more tear!!!

A) Maybe You are intimidating. Make the first move on the guy you like. Young or shy guys have a big fear of rejection.\n\nB) Be more friendly. Hint on the guys you like. Flirt a little.

Just be yourself and tell him so. If you get rejected, then at least you can move on and look for someone else.

Rejection is a part of life and Ive been rejected alot. Step out of your comfort zone and approach people who u want to talk to. It might be scary at first but in the end you'll be glad that u've tried

I think it is best for you to find inner strength and show some dignity and respectfully dismiss someone in person. You both have better closure that way.........But I gotta ask, wow is there really such a thing as a rejection hotline or online? Curiously humorous.

Find some confidence.\nIts pretty simple if you can overcome fear of rejection.\nBe fairly direct. Just ask.\nSecret:  Girls(women) are attracked to self-confidence.\n\nBut also be real, dont lie.  It is much easier to be yourself than someone else.

This job wasn't meant to be...Don't dwell on it.  Move on to the next one.  If that doesn't work take a number two pencil and stick it to your left eye.  That would be less painful than thinking about your rejection.

You sound like your trying not to hurt this person by rejecting him, my dear, there are many ways you can be nice about rejection,  be considerate, dont be rude about it, smile when your rejecting him, but for goodness sake, be honest. As for the friend, depending on how close friends they are, I think I would leave going out with him for awhile, but explain this also to him, let him know that you feel at this time it would inconsiderate to his friend.  Maybe they dont discuss things because I would have thought if they are real friends, they would have discussed that either one was asking you out. That way if they are setting you up, in other words, sometimes men, boys, make stupid bets with each other to see who can conquer you first, it will also let them both know, you are not an easy target, but anyway, be friendly and pleasant to both of them, but be on your guard also.  Good Luck

if you're afraid of rejection, you're not ready.  Be casual.  Offer coffe or lunch or something, or invite him along to this or that place under the pretense that you're bored and/or lonely (but not pathetic).  You buy.  Get to be friends.  Maybe he'll look at you a little differently once he gets to know you a bit  :-)

How about just keeping it simple?  When she looks at you, give her a big smile and an obvious wink.  Then she can either smile back or avoid you without your getting your feelings hurt by being rejected.\n\nP.S.\nWe all get rejected many times throughout a lifetime so don't take it so personally that you're afraid to do anything.  You just have to keep going and keep trying if you want a life worth having.
