How do I make a guy feel better after being rejected?

[Anonymous]

The guy I am living with told me about wanting to confess his feelings to the girl he likes at work. I gave him all the courage to do it then she rejected him and he got sad. He is trying to act otherwise but I can feel him and I want to make him feel better, but I don’t know how because I’ve never been in a relationship. I am not sad for that stupid girl rejecting him because he deserves better.

often work dating isn't a good idea anyways so likely better off in the long run for him that he's not dating her. although he doesn't see it that way now , its tough to get to the point where your ready to confess your feelings for someone only to be rejected. but he maybe went about it wrong and came on way too strong for her liking

Her loss I guess.

Don't get involved. At most, distract him with other things (or encourage him to distract himself) for a little while. What he needs is some time - a week or so - and he should be fine all on his own.

I mean that's nice an all but that's not your responsibility. He needs to learn how to accept rejection. Every man even the best looking ones experience rejection and should be expected to not let it affect them

That depends on whether or not you like him as more than friends.

Either just hang out as per usual, or ask him out. It's best to not dwell on the bad.

"I am not sad for that stupid girl rejecting him" If you lack empathy, then it is doubtful that you can do anything to make him feel better.

[Asker]

Yes I am not sad about it because he deserves better than her.

You are missing the point. It doesn't matter what YOU think or what YOU feel. HE was rejected and HE feels hurt. If you want to comfort him, you need to forget about what you think and what you feel about the girl.

That entirely depends on your relationship with him? Would you ever be with him?

Also, do you give advice? I sent you a dm, if you are comfortable chatting.

Let him heal from it, time is the only medicine for this, he will be fine

[SawerBrown]

All you can do at this point is to support him and let him heal.

Do you and him just live together or do you also go out together?

[Asker]

I don’t go out with him.

[BarryLiverstone]

That’s how you can help cheer him up. First give him a few days to “be in his cave” so he can get over the shock. Then next weekend plan an event with mutual friends or suggest some fun activity to go and do. It will help distract him from thinking about it and stimulate the creative spirit in him

Just don't, you'll likely just make it worse. Rejection is like a tire fire. You just got to let it burn.

You're 18 and living with a guy, unmarried? You know that's a sin, right?

[Bklynbadboy12]

Just give him space rejection is a way of life for men sooner or later we all get rejected

Not your problem. Forget about it.
