    I dealt with it by finding someone else.

    I just let guys approach me if they’re interested, that’s why I’ve never been rejected in my life.

      Me too! If it's just some random person that I see quite often, but really don't know, or don't have anything to do with there's no reason to bother with telling the person.

    After each rejection, I went back and thought about what I did wrong, made changes to improve, and put myself back out there.

      My problem is that it really takes too damn long for me to get over a rejection if I know I've fully invested in trying to win that one person.

      I don't cling though. In fact, in between my advances i give the person of my interest time/space to show mutual interest. If i don't get that in result, I'll 'terminate'.

    Marijuana works exceptionally well.

    I moved on, because I don't want to sound like a jealous/spiteful person.

    If they were mean about it then you have learned that they aren't worth your time. This is a good thing. Forget the nasty person and find someone who treats other people with respect.

    I was rejected twice by crushes i had, i was 17-19 at the time, i was quite full of hatred, specially after seeing how these chicks fucked other guys that were way worse looking than me, i suppose i was just too "good" or who knows, fuck that shit, it feels awful.

    He was my friend and I basically just dealt with it because I didn't want to lose him out of my life. He ended up being really mean about it though and suggesting I was obsessesed with him or something even though our dynamic was the same as it had always been and he wanted to spend a lot of time with me himself and flirted way more than I did. Basically I just started dating others as soon as he had rejected me.

    Probably cry in the shower like the sensitive cry baby I am or pretend to be ok while waiting for the feelings to fade

    I was pretty sad and upset but realized that this was only temporary and would find someone else in the future, which is what happened in the end. If I had been stuck in the past moping about the rejection I couldn't have been in a relationship after wards.

    For me, the rejections from crushes I've got in my life hurt really bad because I'm a sensitive person. I won't say exactly how I handled them here, but they got me to a place where I no longer want to put my heart out there.

    I've been rejected a few times throughout my life and I never take it well, I will do really petty things like immediately arranging a date with someone else and then posting about it on my social media knowing they can see it.
