Ex's and sexuality

5 Comments

So there's a lot of posts on here about rejection.
I have a question.
Say you wrote down all of your rejections and for some reason looked over them and took it as a personal stab at your looks or personality.. (I don't know why you would do this) .. But!
If you liked
1. An ex
Or 2. A person who was gay (or you were gay and they were straight)

If you got turned down
"I like you."
"Sorry, I like you as a friend."

Would that kind of rejection count in the same sense?

Ex: No. Because they wanted you once. Can't be that bad. 4
Ex: Yes, it does. 6
Gay/Straight: No. Because they're just not into your gender. 9
G/S: Yes, it does. 2
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Could you restate the question?

    Are you asking me if I consider being broken up with a rejection? Sorry but sometimes you gotta drive a car before you commit to buying it and not everyone can handle the ride I'm offering. I don't count that as rejection. I don't want to be with someone that doesn't think that I am right for them. That'd be even more of an insult than an actual rejection.

    Well, my friend is a lesbian and if she's rejected by a straight girl I always say it barely counts/you don't have to take it to heart because the girl she may like is straight. She's just not into girls. Technically it's a rejection, but it wouldn't be the same as if it was another lesbian who rejected her.

      Okay, I didn't understand the original question at all! But I get it more here. It is a rejection, but not against your friend personally. It's not rejecting her, it is rejecting the idea of being a lesbian, which her crush is not.

        That's exactly what I mean. :)
        She's liked girls who were leaning way more towards men and feels like she's got this massive list..
        Technically she does.. But not in the sense that it means anything.

    Okay, I'm not sure if I fully understood what you are asking, but if you ask an ex out again, and s/he REJECTS you, then yes it is technically a rejection. Same for sexuality.

    Though if it doesn't really hurt that bad, then, emotionally, you don't have to count that as a rejection.
