There’s no shame in being rejected. If it’s not meant to be then it’s not. Nothing to be embarrassed by. It’s just one person. I’ve been rejected many times because girls send me weird emotions. To a guy when a girl is nice to us it’s kinda like well does she like me or just being nice? Sometimes it feels more so wining on the she likes me but then she just says no I like you as a friend. I honestly don’t even know anymore or care to anymore. I’ll just ask them out and if I get rejected ok. So be it. Nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed at

No, oddly I came to enjoy it in a sense. :-D But I developed a very light-hearted approach to asking women out where they would usually smile and laugh even if they turned me down.

Actually one of my closest female friends is one who turned me down when I asked her out, but we became good friends anyway and she's the one who introduced me to my wife at a picnic.

  I figured as long as I didn't make the girl I was asking out feel awkward or uncomfortable, it's a success even if she turns me down.

  That’s a good way to look at it.

  I didn't start that way. The first time I asked a girl out in high school, I made it so incredibly awkward and heavy in a way that felt like a love confession. And it turned out she wasn't into me that way and I could sense how awkward that made her feel. So that was a complete disaster and after we started to avoid each other: I tried to avoid her because I didn't want her to feel awkward anymore and she tried to avoid me because she felt awkward. I also felt broken-hearted since I had built these hopes of becoming an item even though she never expressed interest in me that way.
  
  So I changed up my whole approach and thought patterns after that to a much lighter and humorous approach, and stopped developing such strong feelings before there were signs that the attraction is mutual. I also started to frame my mind to think rejection is a success of its own provided I didn't make things awkward and provided I took action soon enough before becoming too attached since that allowed me to discover that I'm not her type painlessly for both of us: very valuable information to know sooner than later.

Go in with respect, leave with respect. Nothing to be embarrassed about.

No, I'd rather get straight up rejected than subtle hints and ghosted with no clear reason

  Flower, maybe 'embarrassed" isn't the best word, probably 'humbled' or 'humiliated' is a better description.
