Are you allowed to be heartbroken after a girl rejects you?

[Anonymous]

I thought she liked me. She was doing so many things. Dropping hints and everything. I got my hopes up. I knew that I would go home broken hearted too. I wish I never said anything.

Of course, it's completely normal to feel heartbroken after being rejected, especially if you felt there were signals indicating otherwise. It's natural to feel disappointed and sad when things don't turn out as you hoped. It's okay to take some time to process your feelings and heal from the experience. And remember, it's brave to express your feelings, even if it didn't work out this time.

You feel what you feel. Now move on. Plenty of fish.

Did you know her at all, or was she a crush you had never spoken to? Is it possible you misinterpreted normal friendliness for romantic interest?

"Allowed"? If a girl broke your heart then of course you don't need anyone's validation to feel sad or upset. Try not to linger on it too long, though, for your own sanity.

Nobody is stopping you, but it won't do you any good.

I couldn't stop myself even if I wanted to.

Well you know you'll always get answers in here that might help you with the process.

I doubt they can help lol. I just wish I knew why I'd look up to see her staring at me so many times and then she just says she won't date someone she works with which is probably a lie. She just never liked me but it really felt like she did.
