Every time I go out on a first date with a girl and never hear from her again, I take the rejection very hard. Why is this? Early in the dating period, the other person is just getting to know you and doesn't have a very good idea to what makes you tick. They are rejecting you based on a simple snapshot that may or may not have been your best effort. It hurts to be rejected no matter how well the person knows you but is being rejected by someone you first start dating the worse thing possible? It sure isn't!

Think about a situation where you are in relationship for several years. When that person breaks-up with you they probably have a good idea of who you actually are. When you are rejected in this situation it hurts and hurts a lot because they are rejecting YOU and not a simple snapshot of who they think you are.

So keep your head-up and look forward to a new day, because once you have been rejected for who you are that snapshot is just a bump in the road. I know that's what I'm going to do because that girl still hasn't called back..

Does it ever annoy you that you're single?

random-ren asked 18 days ago

	Yes, most of the time! I really wish I had a boyfriend/girlfriend!

	A little, because I feel left out.

	Not really...

	Nope! I have too much fun being single!

	What's there to be annoyed about?
