I don't know how many times being rejected it takes to be considered a lot.
The ratio of rejection to acceptation(right word?), might be a more important thing to consider? If it's like 3:1 or something, I would think that's pretty good!
By ratio's you're talking..
For every one person who rejected you..
If three like you or accept you (what ever)
That's more important?
(Just making sure I've read you correctly.)
My own quotient would be something like 6:1.
I love women but I hate them ;-)
Mine is more like 1 pass for every 5-9 rejections. But at least its usually the "I have a bf" excuse instead of "ewww GO AWAY!". Sucks just as much because being rejected is never fun, but isn't as damaging to my already non existent ego.
Thanks. Surprised: I honestly did not expect this because that ratio makes me already suffer.
Why would it make you suffer?
That's good!
Sounds like a lot of people have liked you in comparison to rejection.
That speaks more volume.
Well.. Depending on the people.
No. Rejection makes me feel really, really bad. I wish I could be more relaxed, but I can't. I always struggle before I pluck up my courage to at least give a signal to a woman. In most cases, they get it immediately - and I feel from their reaction if it is basically rejection or not. I am not a guy who makes his attempts wherever possible. There is always some longer (certainly too long!) internal story behind it before I do something. That is why I suffer when I feel rejection. Even knowing this, it is not easy to overcome such a tendency.
Its odd. Whenever I approach a woman on the street or at a shop or resturaunt I almost always get rejected. But when its someone at school, or in the club or a friend of a friend its just the opposite. So I all together stopped speaking to women in my day to day life. Then even more oddly, women started hitting ON ME! Which never happens. I'm 6"4 170 lbs, wear my gun everywhere, and have a pretty angry resting face so I'm not what most women would call, approachable.
Seriously, one time is enough for me. I never fall for people easily, and when I finally do, its like I'm completely infatuated with them already. When I usually like someone its for really good reasons, because I usually don't like just anyone. And my feelings can last forever if whoever I feel for at that moment allows them to. That is if they really reciprocate. I always have to work up the courage to say something to them, because I'm really shy when it comes to the guys I'm attracted to. So YES! It will hurt like a bitch when they don't feel the same, and my recovery is usually very slow too. However, I've never had somebody say no to my face, but I have felt the pain of knowing that they didn't care, because lets face it, if you're dropping obvious hints for like a year, and he hasn't acknowledged it, the guy isn't interested. I bet with a lot of people, it doesn't hurt so much when they say no to your face right off the bat, but when they don't say anything at all... that can be the worst. Like when players string people along... I hate that.
But whats really sad is having to do to others what was once done to yourself. I can't stand rejecting other people, because I always think about how horrible I felt when someone didn't care the same about me.
I can't tell you because who cares. A rejection is a rejection. Move on...
Quit worrying so much, Goddam. Most people refuse to date someone that is THAT self-conscious.
