| Put your "rejection" tales and stories here. I'm interested in knowing how you dealt with it, what lessons you learnt, what went wrong, etc. When I mean "rejection", I mean having your advance turned down when approaching the opposite sex (or same sex, whichever way you're inclined). |

| None. Yep, that's right. I wasn't trying to hook up with anyone when I was younger. If it happened, then so be it. Why rush something when I haven't been on the planey for that damn long and when I had so much time and I wanted to do other things? Maybe it's also because I've never really approched anyone. That, or....well, I started to date when I was 14. That one relationship lasted until I was 18. While with that guy, he cheated on me several times, but I had in my head that after high school, I wouldn't be able to find anyone for me. Which is so NOT true, it isn't funny. There is life after high school/collage. Anyway, met Chris shortly after high school and we've been together since. | |||

Anya, you have it easy. Seriously.  Women are much less likely to be confronted with rejection since men are forced to do all of the asking.Hmmm.... the funniest story I can think of was asking out a married woman accidently. Lesson: Keep an eye out for wedding rings. This may not be applicable to most highschoolers... but once you're in college/university, it slowly grows to become a problem, particularly as you grow older and the pool dries up. |

| Where to begin... let's start, as Julie Andrews sang... at the very beginning. The first girl I asked out, was a shy girl. I fancied her from afar, and she seemed cool, she even wanted to hang out with me. I was 17 years old (having been too shy to ask anyone out before then). NE ways, I was plucking up the courage all year and then the day we get the results for our exams I take her outside and ask her out. She seems so happy and overjoyed about it, and we agree to meet up at the local cinema to watch a film. I turn up, she doesn't. Th Film turns out to be a good one ("The Truman Show"), and I don't see her again untill a chance encounter a year akter. She actually apologises for standing me up, asks to meet up again (The reason she gave for not shoing was having to work). One Problem, I'm now taken, but we meet up for a drink, have a laugh and part ways. Lesson learned - Get her phone number, or ANY contact number. Never leave it to chance and always have a Plan B. I've gotta to go, so I'll fill you in on some other another time. |

| I know there was a whole thread for mine, but here it is... This girl had been my friend for about 1.5 years, when I met her I was honestly like "Wow she's hot." We became friends and started hanging out. As time went on, we became even closer friends. The more I got to know her, I began to actually like her more than just a friend, but there was no good time to tell her. I finally did, and she basically said that I was too close a friend to ever think about me in that sense. So at first I dwelled on it, then I tried to forget about it, then a bunch of crap happened with her and one of my friends. We are fine now, still good friends. Not as good as it was though, as she seems to want to dwell on what I have tried to forget about. |

| Well I have only had one rejection, because i haven't been looking or interested in dating... well anyways this girl i liked and i wanted to go to the fornal with her, i asked her if she would like to go and gave her time to think about it. Well the formal was aproching and i haven;t gotten a relpy from her, so i asked one of her closet friends, and he told me that she doesn't want to go with me and that she already asked someone else to go with her. After that i really haven't been interested, so i have only gotten one rejection. |

| I have serious psychological issues resulting from rejection in the past. I'm okay now. My last rejection went perfectly. She's a wonderful person, and a friend of mine. What made it not bother me as much was that she calmly said she was still hung up on her ex-boyfriend, and it hasn't affected our friendship at all. | |||

| I was once turned down in Grade 8, but, I really don't blame her. Other than that... I don't get rejected. I reject.  (Recently, at a bar, a man asked if he could ask me my name. I answered 'No'. I'm a cold bitch. ) |

In grade seven I was crazy.  I asked out this guy Ben R., just outright. I just said, Will you go out with me? And he said no. I was crushed for a few days or so, but then realised, he's a dickhead, I was crazy for even liking him at all. He has the personality of a doorknob. But Then I ended up asking out his best friend who was really nice, although turned me down too, and I was cut by that. Oh well! There are my two only rejections, dating-wise anyway. And those were the only times I've ever asked people out anyway. |

| I tried one in the 9th grade, got blown out of the water, publically, basically because i am a social moron, not to mention i am ugly. Now my philosphy is that trying is only the first step to fKitten Yiffer, so i don't try. (edited by woplock on 04-08-04 10:47 PM) |

| I remember in 8th grade always getting bugged by this girl, she kept trying to talk to me but for some reason I didn't want to talk to her, I thought she was pretty stupid too... One day I said "FUCK OFF, LEAVE ME ALONE" -- and she stopped bugging me... Later on we became friends... Mainly because she was always online and so was I... I taught her what mp3s were, she taught me what IRC was, all in all it was pretty romantic -- But I never tried to go further, and in 9th grade she went out with this jock kind of guy, and I realized I was jealous. Later on she broke up and she talked about how she wanted to go out with me before... Later on we had a serious talk and I asked her if she still liked me, cause I fell in love with her, and she said... "I need time to think" -- and at that point she kept avoiding me, fatal silence :X That was my first story of rejection... I think that's the only one.. I've never been involved with someone unless I was pretty sure I could go for it, and yup, that's why you guys in school have it so easy, you're with the same people for a year or more, you get enough time to know a lot of people. In college, you have 1 class to get to know someone. If you don't make a good first impression you're never meeting anyone outside class EVER, and believe me, 2 hours of class per week isn't enough to get to know someone either. So when you level up, choose charisma ++, not attack and defense! |

| When I was still in high school, I used to ride the bus (this was before I could drive) - and every once in a while, this really cute guy would ride that same bus. Finally, one lucky day, I got to sit next to him. Never asked him out or anything, but I did want to at least get a conversation going. I stopped after about 3 or 4 tries; he wasn't interested even on a friendship level. That kinda stung. =\ Of course, looking back on it, he may have been just shy or uneasy talking to someone he didn't know, but I didn't really think of that at the time. Then there was the guy I knew for a couple years, again in high school. He looked like 40 miles of bad road, but I liked him anyway because I could talk about anything with him. Our interests were a little different, but, ahh, guess you could say we were interested in each other's interests. The day before graduation was the first time we ever hugged each other - and that was as far as it got. We swapped e-mails, and I sent one off to him, never heard back. To this day I don't know where he lives or what he's doing. Another failed e-mail-type "romance" also had a promising start, although as it turned out, most of it took place in my head. <.< I used to be a regular in an IRC chat; one of the other regulars was going off to Afghanistan for a short military service. One of his friends sent me a private message, saying this guy wanted me to keep an e-mail correspondence with him. Now actually, there was a little message in the topic of the chat that encouraged *everyone* to write him, but I thought that by singling me out, that meant something. Looking back on it, it was a really stupid conclusion to draw, but again, I didn't think of it at the time. Nothing ever got deep, we mostly talked about trivial stuff - when he got back from his service, the e-mails pretty much stopped coming. Plus I found out he already had a girlfriend. So much for that one. I guess if there's anything I've "learned" from all this, it's to not be desperate. Apparently Cupid likes to make fun of those who are desperate, the little rat bastard.  |

Originally posted by paradox Woah... what!?!? How is this possible??? More often than not the guy falls into the accursed "lets be friends" void if he befriends a lady first before asking her out. One thing I learnt is that chicks view boy friends (notice the space) as "brothers". Would you date your sister? I think not. And I believe they may view boy friends in a similar light. So.... how'd you do it? Or are you exaggerating? |

| I've only tried twice so far, With the first girl we fell into the friends stage before I got a chance to even ask her out, now i'm too afraid to ask her out in case I destroy our friendship. So I guess I've given up on her for now. I still talk to her when I get a chance so she doesnt think I was only talking to her cause I liked her more than a friend. The second one I asked out a couple of nights ago. I have given her 5 days to decide but I already have a feeling she is going to say yes. She seems to show all the signs of liking me, well from what I have gathered talking to her (we dont see each other in person very often, it's usually over the phone) I have had a lot of rejections asking people to the formal, I asked 5 people. Only one of them gave me a decent answer as to why they didn't wanna go with me, and get this 2 of them didn't end up having dates, they had to get people picked for them. I guess I just dealt with it as if it wasn't me it was them. |

| Um...Not all girls and guys view the opposite sex the same way... What he probably did was recognize the fact that girls 'fell for him.' Raku Mal, online dating is BAD, from all the experiences my friends have had with it... 'Yep, bad...Even when you actually KNOW the person you're mailing, it just doesn't work with teens, at least. Hm...Well, I could tell you all about my girl rejection tales...But that would take too long. However, I've been facing lots of rejection here at these boards, all thanks to the question, "WHY do you think it sucks? I mean, saying 'it sucks' doesn't tell me ANYTHING. So could ya describe WHY a little better?" That, somehow, led to a stupid argument where other people broke board rules, and I've had about ten people say I should be banned, though I wasn't trying to break rules... *shrug* Come to think of it, the only reason I'm here right now is because I'm bored... You have a feeling she'll say yes, Auzzie? Yea, I know that feeling: hope. Yep...It gets crushed a LOT by teenage girls... One girl I used to call my best friend showed LOTS of signs, up to wrapping her arms around me in a tender fashion...She took my first kiss, something she can't give back... And I found out she was engaged the whole time...  She recently said that she never meant to do any of that, she didn't know what she was thinking, and I think she was high when she said it- you don't DO things she did just because...I sure as hell wouldn't...But I'm not her. And she certainly wasn't doin' it to every guy, either... Bah, better stop myself before I ramble. (edited by Destiny Smasher on 04-15-04 05:58 PM) (edited by Destiny Smasher on 04-15-04 06:15 PM) |

| what's to say? We went out, she cheated on me by sleeping with someone, just because I wanted to be safe and NOT do that. She didn't tell me about it, her best friend tells me, I get mad at her because I told her she'd never do somthing like that....boy was I wrong. Finally, she just aproached me, told me outright that she was sleeping with another guy and wanted to leave me because I wouldn't sleep with her (....keep in mind she was probably no older than 14 at the time). Well, whatever. It really hurt me at first, now I just get kinda mad thinking about it. And since I know someone is going to bring it up, please do NOT mention Sailorscout741, or her post, or her pictures, or anything. I'm tired of explaining that, and no one even listens when I do anyways |
