I Just Got Rejected

  • 11-11-2010 9:18pm

    I am an 18 year old male. I liked this girl for over 2 years. Don't know why though!. Finally after all these months i made the move and got rejected. I don't know why and to be honest don't really care why.
    Its the first time I had the balls to ask the girl out, but it wasn't meant to be. She was not out of my league (come to think of it she was a bit lower) but after all this waiting i got rejected.
    On the bright side i will probably never see her again. Now i regret ignoring all the advice my friends gave me.

    So after hours cheer me up.! Did you get rejected once and end up with some one better? I know rejection is a part of life but i am disappointed. Any advice on moving on?

    Thanks

    Rejection is a part of life.

    Get used to it.

    Rejection makes acceptance that much more special

    i'm no advocate of self-harming but the cool touch of the steel is...

    actually no, just be glad you are so young and have plenty more girls to fall in love with and have your heart broken by!

    Had an arsehole reject me once. Ended up going home with a pussy instead.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,044 ✭✭✭Wossack


    Better that you asked and know then not and never...




    probably a dyke anyway

    No :(

    Well, I've got rejected for loads of jobs... :pac:


    I can't remember the last time i got rejected by a man though..... probably cos i can't remember the last time i made a move on a man!


    Anyway OP,it obviously wasn't meant to be. You'll get over it and find someone else better. :)

    Check out the "you laugh you lose " section on boards

    if that doesn't cheer you up I dunno what will.

    pornography always helps.

    quiet the opposite tbh! we went to the same secondary school and i didn't become friends because of the friend zone factor.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,813 ✭✭✭themadchef


    Awww bless.

    You need to find a new faptastic woman to fixate on, one who wont let you down, reject you,or turn you away.

    Nah, we're all bítches. You'll learn to love us all the same :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 452 ✭✭Diapason


    Light some candles, run a hot bath, throw on some soothing music, then fap until you tear the stomach out of yourself.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    Better to knocked back than to wonder what might have been.

    Fair play to you. Courage will always get its reward in the end.

    or just be a man about it and bottle it up.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,582 ✭✭✭✭TheZohanS


    It happens to us all at some stage estadio, don't let it put you off though. Every knockback you get just means you're one step closer to meeting someone that you're meant to be with.

    18 year old + Rejection = 6 pack of Dutch in a field with mates!

    Don't worry about it man, you are only 18. When I was that age I got rejected a few times.

    As you get older and more experienced, you will rarely get openly rejected as you will be able to read the signs and gauge your chances better.

    So chin up son, and It's great to see you are not bitter about it.

    I understand it feels crap and it's difficult not to take personally - especially when you're young (not meaning to sound like a know-it-all old fogey, just that you're not as equipped to deal with it, it's a brand new quite devastating experience, etc) but it doesn't make her a bad person (unless she was a right bitch about it?) or "lower than your league" (in what way?) She's just not into you, which hurts, but she's not under any obligation to be, and she can't help how she feels, even if you were waiting that long (which won't make a difference to her). It's not a ploy to upset you - better than leading you on.

    Do as others say and view it as a valuable life lesson - you'll be fine, it's a mere glitch. Promise...

    Prefered Mike myself,then Micky. Davy was just a bit full of himself, and Peter was just nah.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,941 ✭✭✭thebigbiffo


    would i be the first to say its extremely possible that you will never get over this OP? some rejections and relationships will still make your stomach lurch after 15 years of trying to get over them. best to just get on a plane to thailand with some money robbed at gunpoint from your local spar, get loaded on heroin and shag 6 different hookers name lou in one sitting in a cheap hotel in pat pong.

    it's like the solution women have for getting over that s'hite except less chocolate and more aids...

    I was rejected in an unutterably painful and drawn out fashion the first time I told a girl I liked her. I won't get into the whole story, but I was treated very badly. Looking back on it, it was actually a big moment for me because I saw how I could have dealt with it (if I were to go down an immature road) and instead I thought about it logically for a time and I accepted it like an adult, and in my opinion, I gained a lot from the experience.

    Sometimes it seems like every but you gets the girl, and maybe sometimes that might even be true, but don't let it harden you up, that can potentially ruin something a lot better which could be coming your way further down the line.

    I don't mean to say i am better than her. The point i was trying to make was that all my friends told me i could have done much better in terms of looks but it was her personality that won me over. I am not bitter just disappointed. I wish her all the best.

    Ah leave the lad alone. He is still a bit raw. we have all thought the same thing when we didn't get the ride.

    Least you're not bitter bout it which is good. Hope she didn't reject you in a totally bitchy way! Anyway you seem to be handling it really well.
    And as has been said, it gets easier to read the signs with age :)

    2 years? That all? I once fancied a 16 year old girl and didn't ask her out until she was 23. Got rejected too but was still happy I did it.


  • Site Banned Posts: 2,719 ✭✭✭DB10


    At least you asked her out OP. How many gutless people never do it or only when extremely pissed.

    Me being one of those.

    Yep, I was 20 when I asked her. Part of the reason I took so long was I believe a 16 year old girl would have no interest in a 13 year old boy.

    My advice is to listen to some Kenny Rogers while crying into your cornflakes and doing some sit ups!!!

    Works for me in times of woe! :cool:

    I can't go out with a girl unless she's as intelligent, or slightly less intelligent, than I am.
