Being rejected is part of the business. It happens in all aspects of live. So patience is the key to success.

Be respectful and caring. Dont push a relationship.
See her reactions. If she has a good heart you will see it. If she wants and is selfish let her go.

I would HATE being a man and having to face rejection daily.
Takes balls.
You just have to try.

What is this "rejection" you speak of?




There are at least 3.5 BILLION females in the world.
You can't possibly get rejected by all of them.

Extreme fear of rejection -or actually any fear of rejection- only means you don't feel you are worthy. That's something you can work on. Personal growth, self-esteem and so on.

Apart from that a change of perspective can help. Rejection is not really personal. Certainly not in dating as the other person doesn't even know you. It is just an indication that the one you picked wasn't the right one. You can also be grateful that at least they noticed or felt that and thus weren't interested.
Most take it personal, but it doesn't say anything about you -unless you were an @$$ of course- as they don't know you yet so it cannot be personal. Better yet, YOU didn't even know them yet. Why value their actions and/or words so much? A person who's basically a stranger.
Look at it that way, and remember to do that. It'll take time if you have low self-esteem, but it will begin to sink in, and it's a very good first step.

Not sure how men face rejection daily?
Certainly not in love as only 10% of men have the baws -a.k.a. self-confidence- to walk up to a woman without her giving a sign she's interested. And the men of this 10% wouldn't fear rejection otherwise they'd not be part of that 10% who do that.

The other 90% -the vast majority- don't do that at all and need a sign from a woman first before he even dares address her.
This sign is equivalent to the lady dropping the lacy hankie. Nowadays eye-contact, a smile, or both.
So women are the ones who are the risk-takers and face rejection, not men. At least men had their sign of interest. The woman has to take the leap of faith.

Unless you mean in another area, I don't get what you mean?

I too at one time was afraid of rejection ..but then I discovered the wonders of a black jack zip ties duct tape and a van with tinted windows were all the tools one needs for successful dating..let's just say the Tombs no longer fears rejection..o.k..just kidding..

I actually view it this way..if they don't succumb to my Rico Suave charm,my good looks and the smell of old spice then who cares..their loss..confidence is the key..that a nice tall glass of kool aid laced with GHB..ok yea once again just kidding

Just be yourself..either they want what ya got or they don't..of course flashing a roll of hundreds never hurts either..kidding again..

What you need is a copy of the movie "Fast Times at Ridgemont High"..take in Damone's five point plan..and you're on your way...normally I don't give away my secrets ..but for you I will make an exception....I even made it easy for ya ..link below...GOOD LUCK..no need to thank me...:thumbsup:

You have made a good decision by joining this dating site, join a few more local dating sites, and if possible upload several photos of yourself as well. Most people want to see a photo of you, and read a little bit about you, there does need to be something in your online profile. Then all you need do on here is send a "Nudge", or better still an email message to someone of interest to you. If you receive a reply you are on your way, if not just move on, no fear or shame in that. Just be aware of the storytellers.

Welcome to Mingle2 and good luck in our search.

Rejection is not really personal.

Most take it personal

as they don't know you yet so it cannot be personal.


People keep saying that.

Which is kind of weird.

Because the opposite of "rejection" is "acceptance".

Should people not take "acceptance" personally either?

What SHOULD people take personally?

Better to regret something you have done
Than something you haven't

A faint heart, never won a fair Lady

Hell yes, it's scary as hell, and horrible if it goes wrong
But it's also the best feeling in the world, if it goes right
