Question

Time is a wonderful thing & over time I fell in love with a friend & as for that friend she got married & forgot all about me. As for time it went by & as for me I moved forward with my life & forward is the only way to go. About a year an a half later I ran into that friend & we started talking like we always did & she informed me that she kicked her husband out for cheating on her. Long story short she asked me out face to face & as I gazed into her loving eyes I said I’m going to have to respectfully decline. A day went by, a week went by & a month went by & we bumped into each other once again & as for me all those feelings for her came to the surface & I told her I fell in love with her & I told her everything. Long story short she started dating & she found someone new & as for me I felt heartbroken but then again I rejected her when she asked me out. As for her husband they separated because he cheated on her & so did her new boyfriend & they broke up & I only know that because we started talking again.

As for me I didn’t want to be her rebound guy & when she asked me out I didn’t want to go out with her because she was still married & that wouldn’t be fair to me.

Time went by & the good news is she divorced her husband however she took the joker back & he moved back in & I started laughing.

I may not be smart but I’m not stupid & I’m so glad I respectfully declined.

Yeah, I did. I rejected a girl who was a good friend of mine.

She had similar values, came from a great family, did what she (and I) loved for her career, had a great personality, and was truly beautiful. We even had wildly similar plans for our ideal vacations.
But I turned her down because I wasn't romantically interested in her. I knew I /could/ be interested in her, but I also knew that she would be happier with someone else who could move a little faster in the relationship than me. Turns out I was right. She started dated someone a few weeks later and got engaged a few months after that :)

I rejected a friend who I really liked platonically, but never someone I liked romantically.

I don't reject guys that I would marry, but one guy that I dated dumped me.

I have done it.  Because realistically speaking, it could have never worked.

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

She had kids and we had VERY different thoughts on parenting.

I guess. My 2nd girlfriend came back to me about 35 years after we broke up and said she wanted to be my girlfriend. I took her up on that and re-gained a sort of crush on her but, even when she tried to fuck me, for some reason, as much as I wanted to, I just wasn't into her THAT much but, SHE did the rejecting after a week. We still stayed best friends but, she gave up on us being lovers, again even though I was willing to keep trying. But, another couple weeks later, she got REALLY pissed at me for not giving her the last 58c I had to my name so she could buy cat food to feed a fucking SUPPOSED stray cat!! I'M starving and you want ME to use the last of MY money to feed a fucking cat that, most likely, bums food off of several other people, probably ISN'T a stray at all and, even if it is, can live on the mice it catches or the garbage it takes from peoples' cans? Guess again, sweet tits!!

Okay- this was a long time ago. I dated somebody for about 5 or 6 months. She dumped me very unexpectedly in a very cruel way. I really fell in love with this girl and I was devastated when she went back with her old boyfriend. She had a best friend that I really liked. She was really pretty and it sort of seemed like we had a thing for each other. We went to an outdoor concert with a group and we hung out together the whole day. The next time we saw each other was at a party. She followed me around the whole time. Her friend that dumped me was also there. I was still pretty angry and hurt and I took it out on her friend. I never saw her again.

Retsam · Answer

I have and it was the best for her. She didn't know but I was addicted
to drugs 10 years ago, and I wasn't ready to stop and I knew she
didn't deserve a fucked up dude. and I was isolating myself as well.
Just didn't want to hurt her. and It work because 4 years after I
became sober she became the mother of my 2nd son :)

MysticDevice · Answer

Not rejected but chose not to persue.

Several occasions.

One was a smoker which is a hard no.

One had too many exes that I know personally

The others were all coworkers which as a general guideline I tend to avoid.

Drewtate · Answer

Yes. Turned out she was cheating with me on another. Monkey branching with me and thought that I would want a serious relationship with her. To my mind if she cheats with you she will cheat on you.

UniquelyBasic · Answer

I've sort of rejected someone I liked before but it was more like me purposely not picking up on her hints of wanting me to ask her out. As to why, I was insecure and felt like I wasn't good enough for her.

OfMiceandMen · Answer

I have not, the few women that I have been with since my wife past on were people I really liked and obviously did not reject them as we were together sometimes for 3 or more years.

Bricealan · Answer

Because of the way she would dress inappropriately for occasions, and her uncalled for jealousy, and just her behavior toward me socially

DrPepper12 · Answer

I didn't want to destroy the friendship and we were both very confused on how to proceed. It was agonizing being together knowing we were one stupid move from blowing it all up.

Danny_dan92 · Answer

Yep. A fuck ton. Don’t know. Girls never say why

omniscientman · Answer

I was in a relationship. Ultimately the relationship ended, and I missed my chance. I'm glad I did though because years later I have found the love of my life

Anonymous · Answer

Yes. Because I was young, foolish, and didn't realize how rare quality women are.
