I hate being rejected. :/ - January 28th 2012, 03:46 PM

Particularly when they do it so nicely.

And when they tell you that they would have considered dating you, if it hadn't been for two factors that are out of my control.

I haven't had to deal with rejection and asking people out in so long, so I guess I'm just asking for.. well, how do I deal with this?

It's better to be rejected in a nice way than be rejected in a harsh way. I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin' ( ). Rejections are difficult to deal with. If they rejected you for reasons that were out of your control, maybe it's a good thing that things didn't work out (depending on what those reasons were). They don't deserve you if they don't see how wonderful of a person you are.

Thanks Shannon.

What's so hard is, the reasons are 1) they were with my best friend a month ago and 2) they now live 200 miles away. So yeah... It's hard because it makes me feel regretful that I didn't ask them out when I first like them. Add that to the fact that if I had done that I wouldn't have dated my ex and gone through shit in that relationship, well, it makes me sad.

Though your previous relationship was crappy, have no regrets. We can't go through life having all these regrets on our plate. Makes life less enjoyable. And, the reasons he provided are pretty good ones. 1) Dating a friends ex is never a good idea. You might not intentionally be hurting people but feelings are bound to get hurt (unless, of course, your friend gave the go ahead and said it was okay). 2) He lives so far away! LDR's are hard too, and takes a lot of hard work. Some people can handle them while others can't.

Just take some time for yourself and then get back out there in the dating game! You'll find someone! I'm sure of it!

Here in the UK we have a saying...

"When one door closes another one opens"

Basically you may have been rejected but there's always another out there waiting, someplace, somewhere. In my past experiences I've had people approach me rather than me approach them, and nearly every single one turned into a relationship (not because I was desperate but because I got on with them really well).

The unexpected can happen and happen it will...
