Worst rejection story?

Question

I was into this dude that was pretty desperate to get into a relationship. He said he didn't want to be single anymore, so I figured why not shoot my shot, he's pretty eager to get into a relationship. After I told him I liked him, he found an excuse why we couldn't date. This probably isn't my worst story but it's the most recent and it stings because he basically was trying to get whoever he could and still wouldn't date me.

Share your stories with me so I don't feel so alone.

The other day I found this quote "Rejection is not as personal as it feels. Liking someone or being liked is more about compatability than inherent worth."

So I confessed my feelings to my 2 year long crush at school and he said he liked me back but he lied, So he went on his Snap talking a whole lotta shit about me saying that he never liked me and he was gonna dump me in 2 days, so I found out and broke up with him the day we dated, And so my first boyfriend dated me for 8 hours and broke up with me the day we got together.

Hope that was good enough. :)

That's noooothing. I get rejected pretty regularly, so I've gotten kinda numb with it 😂. When I was in highschool after school, I cold approached this girl and pretty much small talked with her for like a minute or two. At the end, I asked for her number, but she wanted to take my number instead. I gave it to her, but she "forgot to click the save button in her phone to save the number". That's what I heard from one of her friends, but I knew that was B. S.. I can laugh about it now though 🤦‍♂️haha

Oh, honey. I was single from 2013 to 2017 and not for lack of trying. When girls walk around corners and see me, they literally jump in fear. I'm not joking, it happens constantly. At least people bother to make up excuses for you. lol Hopefully that makes you feel better, but you're certainly not alone in being rejected.

Why do they get scared? Are you big and tall?

I'm big, but not tall. Guess I just got that face. Though not as big as I was, I guess. Been trying to work on that. Hard enough getting a date when you're 5'7'' but also 250 pounds? Not actually surprising it wasn't happening.

That's my issue too. I'm really short but overweight. I'm currently working on that. Not solely so guys will like me but so that I will like myself and I'll also be a healthy weight.

I feel like being short is more often considered cute for girls, so that might actually work to your advantage. Best of luck to you losing weight. I'm about halfway to my target weight, now. Though if I'm being honest, I didn't mind being fat. It was nice eating whatever I wanted. lol

Thank you. LOOOL that's my problem too, I'd rather just eat whatever I want but now it's more of a health thing. I've seen how much your stomach can hold and over eating isn't good, it's bad for your overall body and health. I hope your weight loss journey continues going well.

Rejection is not as bad as “dating” or being in unfulfilling relationships for months/years and then getting rejected and discarded as if it were nothing. Therefore, rejection doesn’t bother me at all. The sooner the better however of course. More women reject than men so men think they have it hard. But it is so much work dealing with the psychological implications of being played, used for sex, or lead on to believe someone wanted a serious relationship with you.

Let's say you were dating this guy for 2 years that you loved, and he broke up with you. You'd probably feel upset about it, but at least you had 2 years of fun memories. I don't know about you, but if I had the choice, I would much rather choose to be in a few long term relationships in my life that end at some point rather than never get to experience love and constantly experience rejection everytime.

That’s the difference between me and you. I don’t date “for fun.” The aim for me is to find a lifelong partner and have life long memories not temporary fun and fooling around. Getting attached to people and then abandoned over and over is not healthy for mental health which is why I keep my circle small. You want to experience sex and have your ego boosted by as many people as people which is why you want multiple relationships with multiple different people and rejection hurts you.

I didn't mention anything about sex. Also, I want a lifelong relationship too, if I find a person good enough to be in that kind of relationship with. I'd choose a lifelong relationship over a short term one.

I was just saying that having a good relationship that gets cut short is better than not having any relationships at all, in my opinion. This is because you at least get to experience good memories and love for the former scenario.

Also women can discard men in a relationship too. It's not just men discarding women. Women leave me for "better" guys all the time.

It seems he was desperate to be with someone, but he wasn't ready for a relationship. I bet when he realised he didn't want that, that's when he made up an excuse
