I find that ignoring makes things a lot more awkward. I can easily move past being rejected, but there's no way to move past being ignored. Any chance of friendship or normal communication is gone
That's interesting. I suppose it's a selfish, non confrontational thing from my part then. I've ghosted a lot of guys maybe after a few messages or 1 date and they kept contacting me which I ignored. I just didn't have the heart to say 'I just don't like you.. even as a friend..'

I'd rather be rejected so then I know I can move on with my life, instead of questioning weather or not there's still a chance.
I'd rather be acknowledged and rejected than ignored, that's just rude
Rejected for sure! Then there is no doubt, no lingering what if’s; they’re just not into me
I don't mind either of it. I don't care about that also.
Rejected. If they reject me then I will know where i stand.
I'd rather be ignored
Why would you rather be ignored?
Cuz being rejected hurts too badly
It avoids an awkward obvious statement/talk/bs

Your answer is very insightful. That's something I'll bear in mind next time
Rejected. You know where they stand and rejection is acknowledgement and respect on one form.
Rejected because you're still getting attention by someone else, ignore is worst because no one is even interacting LOL
I've been on both ends, but I'm going against popular opinion here and I'm going to say ignored. While deafening, the message is clear.
I'd rather be rejected. There's no uncertainty, no messing about, and it allows both of us to move on. Being ignored is just plain disrespectful...
Simples...
don't waste each other time just reject straight, better than leaving the person hanging
I would definitely like a definite answer. Cause that would make things simple and my mind would just have to accept it. No in-between
Ignored. If I get ignored then I’m not wanted by that person at all. Being rejected makes me feel not welcome in this world at all
I can endure rejection, but being ignored makes me feel like the person thinks I am not even worth the breath it takes to say no.
Being ignored is easier for me to deal with than rejection, i'm used to being ignored; i've kinda built up an resistance to it
I'd rather know than not know. Being ignored could bring some mix messages.
Ignored! I must try harder! Rejection is sensitive must continue without receiving a restraining order.
Rejected as i have faced that
@Teeshawithwings Interesting! You haven't been ignored? Consider yourself lucky, it's horrible. Makes ya feel completely worthless
Rejected. Rather know fully.
