Search Results: afraid of rejection

I don't wanna say I have low self esteem but I am fearful of rejection... I just hate taking an interest in a woman and she rejects me so I don't pay too much attention because you never know the outcome andrejdction hurts a lot more than people tend to think. Anyway I've been single for many years but not because I can't get a girlfriend, I'm just... Lets just say my last relationship hurt soon bad it's left me paranoid... I'm just afraid I'll get betrayed again after falling deeply Inlove with someone... I'm honestly beginning to think I'm ugly now 😅 maybe I'm being stupid I dunno. Anyway let's take a vote. If I asked one of you ladies to be my valentine and let me take you out to dinner and buy you flowers and valentine candy and maybe a teddy, would you accept or turn me down?

(keep in mind, I don't expect nothing out of you. I'm not expect you to like sleep with me or proclaim your love to me lol... It'd be fun Just to spend the day with you talking and hugging and making jokes and stuff...)

Does getting rejected make your fear of rejection go away.
Is the fear an illusion.
The most succesful people in the world often got rejected but persisted right?
With all this in mind.
What do you think?

I keep staring at her eyes. They're so blue! She's got this sexy wild hair and really delicate facial features and she keeps catching me looking at her and I just look away whenever she catches me. I'm just afraid to make a move because I don't know what to say or how to start a conversation and I'm afraid of rejection and constant awkwardness afterwards because we work together and I like my job and don't want to screw it all up with a relationship gone bad. Anyway, is she likely to think I'm creepy and might be afraid of being around me because she keeps catching me looking at her because I can't stop looking at her eyes? How do I start a conversation with her and keep a conversation going with her? I have no idea what to do and how to avoid a bad response.
