    The regret you'd feel from never trying and never knowing is FAR GREATER than being rejected. It may hurt, but usually people aren't mean about it, and things usually go fairly smoothly.

    Absolutely not. Rejection is at least still living, and keep you on your toes. Not trying at all isn't even living.

    Rejection its bad itself , but never trying is worst. If you never tried, it will leave you wondering if it could've worked like you wanted.

    After rejection and rejection my self esteem practically is non existent so like Homer would say:"Don't even try kids".

    As a person who's highly afraid of rejection. My heart immediately reacts to rejection would hurt more but in the long run I know mentally I would only be beating myself by wondering "If only I just took the chance.."

    I think not trying is like playing a game of Russian roulette. If you don't try and k don't pull up the gun to your head then it won't hurt but if you do try the bullet may hurt you that's my two cents.

    You can’t except to find love if you don’t look for it. Roadblocks like rejections and breakups happen sometimes, but you need to try to find out.

    No. Because you can get over rejection. But regret, or not knowing because of never trying, never ever goes away.

    Never trying at all is you rejecting yourself so another person doesn't have to but if you let others do the rejecting one time they might say yes.

    No. If you get rejected you at least have a chance. If you don't try you have already failed.

    Never trying is worse. And the sooner the better to find out if they like you or not because why waste time

    It would be even worse never trying as you would never know and kick your self for rest of your life for not doing it.

      Well I understand that but there are clues they give off like body language. I think the feed back you need to be prepared for is her immediate unconscious response.

      This type of feed back is crucial but takes quite a bit of "at bats" to really figure out!
