Being rejected by an interest (of any sex) is possibly the single most common of all human experiences. It happens to us all. It happens to us repeatedly. It is always awful, there is no sugar-coating it. But, with great risk often comes great reward, so steel your nerves and get back out there. One day you will wake up and realize you've been married to someone for twenty-five years and you're not really sure how that happened.

Mmmmm... I actually haven't been rejected to any men I confessed to... Though I can count on my fingers the number of times I confessed to men.

I was rejected by every girl I confessed to though, and honestly... It didn't feel that bad? It just kinda went by and that was that. We still remained friends and nothing happened.

The times that I was really hurt were when my relationships with my ex-boyfriends ended. Those really hit me hard and I was really down for months each time (About 18 months for the first two, about 3 months for the third boyfriend... My life and my emotional state were much more stable by the time I dated my 3rd boyfriend, hence the difference).

But rejections were just... I dunno, fine? Yeah, those girls didn't want to date me... Sure? I can live with that. It wasn't the end of the world or anything~

I guess... A hope of a relationship failing to become a reality doesn't affect me nearly as much as the dream of being together for the rest of my life with someone suddenly being crushed by the issues of our relationship that we couldn't solve.

i can't say i've been rejected by people of the opposite sex. weirdly enough, i have personally rejected parties of the same sex. twice.

it isn't a lot but it's weird it's happened twice.

what did god mean by this?

I've been rejected by the same girl I like for about...three times now.

It's pretty discouraging, but I can't forget her, so I always come back and try again.

However, yeah, recently, I've been tired. I still love her, nevertheless, I know it's impossible to have a chance to be woth her.

Hence, I avoid romantic relationships nowadays.

I haven't been rejected from a confession outright, but it did feel bad when a girl I liked back then wanted nothing to do with me. I had no romantic feelings or anything of the sort, at least to that level yet, just one of those juvenile crushes and the like, but she found out and started giving me the cold shoulder.

Felt bad, but it didn't take too long for me to realize it's better off that way. Staying single = more time, money, and freedom to yourself.

Sad for a moment. Got over it the next day. It happens. The important part is that you take the shot cause there's always the chance she'll/he'll say yes. And for the creepy people out there, if she/he says no or anything along those lines, just accept that. No one wants a creepy dude spamming their phone for hours on end. Speaking from personal experience.

Rejected many more than been rejected by. If by rejected you mean 'dumped, after some time together'. In both cases though, I was upset but glad to be rid of the losers (one in particular was a proper drag to be around, right miserable git. The day he buggered off I cried and cried....and then got over it, got a new job in a new town, and met a whole bunch of new people who were really cool. I doubt I'd even recognise him now, if he's still even alive)

Can't say i'm experienced with being rejected and all that, but I have been a sort of bystander to all my other friends who have been.

They always go through a cycle when it comes to these things.

Find a girl > Get closer > Confess > Rejected > Repeat

I don't know how they don't notice the many times they've gone through said cycle xD
