Rejection.

Ask them about before you gain anything too serious, if you realise you like someone you should see if they have similar feelings that way it won't hurt as much :) or do a me and never anyone out then wonder why you're single xD I mean asking someone out is scary :/ https://67.media.tumblr.com/265968e44c47c56c3a5bc0e100e8b604/tumblr_nf74b9V2MG1svxaato1_500.gif

I got rejected by a girl every year I was in school hahaha then I got older and met a girl at work. Didn't think my workplace was gonna be where I found my gf, but you'll find weird people in weird places, just gotta find the person who matches your weird.

My social interactions are online and I haven't had any real friend since grade school, and so I seek this dating site only to fail and be told to go out more. Fuck me right? xD

Not sure what to make of my most recent experience. I guess it was kind of a double rejection in a way? I met someone here a week or so ago. They were a self proclaimed tomboy and seemed to understand I'm not interested in women like that, but wanted to be friends anyway and said they weren't interested in me either, or so I thought. They wanted to chat over LINE, and we got along well but after a couple days sent me their pic and wanted to see mine. I don't blame them for being curious about what I look like but they got a little pushy about it, and were upset that I didn't send them a photo when they first asked for it. They also didn't seem to like that I asked why they were so fixated on seeing what I looked like anyway (since they claimed not to be interested in me). They then told me even though they thought I was very polite/formal that they didn't want to chat anymore. They went onto this thing about how they don't want to talk to ugly people, how all their friends are good looking guys, and that ugly guys get attached to them too easily and it's a bother. I guess they assumed because I never showed them my photo that I was ugly, even though I never said anything that might have lead them to think that. I simply told them I understand, that I hoped things worked out with their career plans we talked about, and to have a nice life. I don't feel rejected as I was never interested in them, but I do wonder if they felt rejected. They seem to have since then decided to leave MO as far as I can tell, so it does make me feel a little guilty that I might have inadvertently lead them on.

I've been rejected a lot. It use to effect me personally but as I age it seems to get easier. Everyone has their preferences and you might not be that persons but you may be the next. I use to just sleep for a long time. I'd eventually get over it. Now I shrug it off and go work out. :)

Rejection is like any other lesson in life. Your first experience with it is often awful. And every other time it gets a little less bad until you just get used to it. To be honest, the only thing worse than rejection is the fear of being rejected. Anyone can move on after being rejected, but those who fear being rejected get nowhere.
