Search Results: ask for a date on myspace

And if you do, what was it like? How bad did it affect you?

I ask because exactly twelve years ago today, on December 29th, 2003, I was rejected for the first time in my life. I was 13 years old, in the seventh grade, and it was really nervous lol.

Anyway, this was back before Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, etc existed. MySpace has just emerged and many people at this age didn't have an account. Texting was scarce-Especially as a young teen. So, I did it the old fashioned way-Through the telephone!

My best friend at the time told me there was this girl at a local Catholic elementary. He told me she was an EIGHTH GRADER! This was such an upgrade! So, he gave me her number and I decided to wait for Christmas Break (from school). I grabbed my parents' house telephone and gave her a call. She answered and I said "Hello, my name is Blake and I'm asking you out for a date." She hung up without saying anything else.

I laugh at myself. How can I be so naive to think randomly calling and asking a girl I've never talked to in my life would work?

At the time, I was very mad. I remember being so angry at my friend.

I'm talking about being rejected by a guy/girl for a date or girlfriend/boyfriend here, that type of rejection.

Anyway, for me, it was when I was 13 years old. I had finally decided to ask girls out, because I wanted a girlfriend (and possibly have sex.) So, my best friend at the time knew a girl who was going to another school. He told me she was cute and he thinks we would like each other, since we both loved baseball. How awesome! A hot chick that likes baseball (my 13 year old brain's thought process here.) So, it was on my Christmas break, right after Christmas (December 29, 2003 to be exact) and I decided to ask her out. Keep in mind, this was an time before social media took over. MySpace had just started but I barely knew anyone with an account. Xanga wasn't ever popular and most people online would Instant Message (IM) each other through their email address or TALK IN PERSON (Yes, people used to do that, believe it or not.) Cell phones didn't emerage yet and most teenagers didn't have cell phones. So, I used my home phone, called her number (my friend gave me) and asked her out. She didn't say anything and hung up the phone ( I was stupid, I'll admit it lol.) That was my first rejection ever.

If you can't remember the exact age, I put age ranges in the poll to help you out.
