The one and only time Ive been rejected...

There was this guy in one of my classes who I really liked so naturally I talked to my friends about it. They were supportive and told me to go and talk to him to go out on a date. They were saying "Oh, the worst he could say is no." I figured they were right and I had nothing to lose so I went for it. I caught up with him one day and mustered up enough courage to confidently ask him out. His response: "Sorry. I dont go out with Jews. I dont want to burn in Hell." My response: "Too late. You already have a space reserved for you."

I wasnt hurt. I was PISSED.

What an utter idiot.

IDK if I would consider this a rejection since I was dating the girl, but I had a girl go back to her ex husband 4 days after I got an apartment to be closer to her and 3 hours after I bought a ring for her (she had no clue about the ring.)

Well I know she had to since they had a kid, BUT she went up there with her kid so he could see her (he is in the Navy and was out to sea for about 3 months) she sent me a text saying we're done. That was 3 hours after saying she loved me and would be back down after she drops her daughter off.

She dumped you in a text? **** that ****.

I reject myself before others can.

Asexual and don't need nobody ftw. hahahahaha.

Dayvan Cowboy 02-06-2011 04:54 AM

I often get rejected in my dreams. You see. at one time I kind of liked some french kid named Andrew. Well, I had a dream that we were on some video chat thing, and I said hello and he told me that I was ugly and that I should just die already because I'm going to be alone anyways. This isn't the first dream like that.

Also, you'll be seeing me post here in a bit. I'm telling some bro in the english class that I like him. The problem is, though, is that the english classes think we're stuck up because we know a second language, and think we're better than them.

Howard the Duck 02-06-2011 05:42 AM

nothing unusual for me

it's usually "I have a bf"

for movie dates it's usually "I don't watch Such and such movies"

weirdest one was a Chinese girl saying "I don't watch Chinese New Year movies" so is she Indian or Malay then?

lol that's really horrible that you can't close even in your dreams. My dreams are pretty awesome and on the odd occasion that I end up in some nightmare sequence if it becomes too unbearable I realize that it is a nightmare and I'm able to wake myself up from it.

i usually have what you call "beautiful nightmares"

i once dreamt i was in prison and they brought in whores with glass splinters on their body and we were forced to have sex with them, and my body was ripped to shreds

another nightmare, I was being chased by a hunter of men, when he caught me, he inserted some sort of jawbreaker into my chin and ripped my skull apart

scary but exhilirating at the same time

s_k 02-06-2011 05:47 PM

You know, I actually got rejected in 2001 by the girl I started dating in 2004 :).
It wasn't really a rejection as it was really obvious. I got to know her via the Internet and our first meet-up was awful. Never been so nervous in my entire life.
But it somehow had to be :)

TheFolkslave 02-14-2011 09:50 AM

Yesterday I confessed to my friend that I really like her. I knew that she knew that I like her and I also kind of knew that she only likes me as a friend but I still had to tell about my feelings to her. I'm not that good with rejections especially since I think she is pretty much the funniest and most interesting person I've ever met in my life. Feels kinda bad but I'm glad that we talked about it and it wasn't awkward at all and we are still really good friends :)

Asexuality doesn't mean you stop liking people.

Anyway, never really been close to someone in my life. Well, maybe once:
got to know this person on the internet, we used to spend more than 10 hours daily chatting for more than 6 months . We agreed to meet when he gets back to Lebanon. The day he got back he stopped appearing online, and then giving me the whole "the internet is shitty in Lebanon, and I can never log in properly", although I knew he went to meet every other person from that same forum (or at least chatted with them regularly).

So I sent him an email telling him what a bastard he is. He also didn't reply. After a month, he returned to France, and finally logged on... and told me that he was hurt by my email, making me feel ****ty about sending it.

Turns out he got back with his ex when he came to Leb. Nothing else happened in my life -relationship wise. I usually just wait for people to come to me, even in normal friendships. I already have a low enough self-esteem.

I don't know if this is a "worst" rejection story, but it's a unique one.

Last year I was walking up a set of stairs to one of my classes with a coffee in my hand. There was a girl walking up the stairs right in front of me. I caught my foot on a stair and stumbled upwards, and my coffee spilled all over her pants. Literally not one drop on me, but it went all over her.

So at first I was just like "I am SO sorry!", which I said a bunch of times, and offered to pay for her to get her pants cleaned. She was obviously shocked/upset a bit but overall didn't seem too bothered with it and said that it was a mistake and I didn't have to pay for anything. I was mortified though, and was just thinking in my head what I could say to make it up to her. So I said, "No, seriously, that was terrible. Maybe I take you to dinner sometime?"

It would have sounded alot less retarded in my head... if I had thought about it beforehand. It kind of just slipped out. There was an awkward pause where we both thought about what I'd just said (and I actually got hopeful for a second; she was actually quite cute) and then she rejected me, but not in a mean way or anything. I'm assuming it was because it was phrased like a pity date... or because I dumped an XL coffee on her.

crukster 03-23-2011 02:57 PM

Best rejection I ever got, she said

"I only like mixed race boys"

Technically I'm mixed race, so I told her that, all sly

"well technically, you know I am mixed race you know wink wink"

turns out technicalities don't go over so well when flirting, she reponded

"You're not the right mix I like black boys."

Made me feel a bit ****ty though man. We used to talk quite a lot. And fair enough I only knew her for a few months, but I liked her so I thought I'd try my luck and ask her out. I just said "cool" and offered to walk her back to her bus stop. But she was all defensive and like "no I'm meeting my boyfriend no no" why the hell was she smoking a joint with me then? She made me feel like I'd asked something terrible like I asked for a BJ right there and then or something, or like I'd just asked her for a kidney. Just another aspect of people I dont understand, boggles my mind. Maybe it's me just thinking with my ****, but why was she talking to me so much if I'm not black enough for her liking? I'm not a lost puppy I'm fine on my own man, I don't need friends or pity or nothing, know what I mean.

So I went over to the park with a half bottle of whisky and a bag of weed. Sat by the lake and rocked out to some Turk rock, screw it who cares.

Haha thats usually my answer as well. Some booze and weed then go blast tunes so I stop feeling sorry for myself.

I think the main reason she was weirded out was because you tried to take your friendship level a little further and she wasn't in it. You changed the dynamics of the friendship by telling her that you wanted to date her and that you like her more than a friend basically. She was fine being just friends with you but she didn't want to date you.

that's what I gather from that situation anyways.

Howard the Duck 03-24-2011 01:48 AM

i seem to recollect the worst rejection I had, was when I approached an English girl in a Cardiffian club was "oh, fark arf"

one of the weirdest "acceptance" story was when I was in another club, this tomboyish girl was staring at me, and I rolled my eyes up in disgust, and she came right over and started chatting me up, with the motive being sex - my friends told me I shoulda gone for it, but I was never into tomboys

that acceptance isn't all that weird.

Some girls enjoy the "chase" as much as guys do. The more you show that you are disinterested, the more they want to find out what makes you tick and so mystery/unobtainable.

I've even had girls that are insecure and immediate want to call me gay because I don't find them interesting/sexy. I'm like wtf, you aren't my type. I don't want to have anything to do with you "Fuck Off". I don't care if you think I'm gay just because I don't want your ugly ass.

thing was, she looked quite ok, bordering on cute, i just found her haircut and clothes off-putting

well if she isn't your type which it sounds like then you did the right thing by rejecting her.

If they don't get the subtle hints then you have to be more direct about it

she was also trying to be "quirky" and interesting when she wasn't, really

i made an excuse and headed for the gents and went to another portion of the club

I would have been so blunt with her and just tore her down if she annoyed me like that with "trying" to be interesting

it all sounded like the ramblings of a madwoman when she tried

idk about the whole gentleman thing

if you were a gentleman in that situation, you would have just sat there and taken it all in instead of ditching her by saying you need to use the bathroom.

i would have ended up poking my eyes out with a beer glass

djchameleon 03-24-2011 03:08 AM

Don't blame you honestly for wanting to make a quick exit

I didn't even met her and I'm already annoyed by her lol

The Virgin 03-24-2011 05:50 AM

when my US Visa was denied. it's the worst thing in the world. I already got all my necessary documents ready (plane ticket, company approval, leaves, financial budget, hotel reservations, etc.) and then the US console just tells you "sorry, we can't grant you legal entry to the US as of the moment", i was like, "i hate Americans".

I think you're right there, that's what I figured as well. I get the feeling if I hadn't got ants in my pants and just stuck with hanging out, she might have been into me later as well. Too forward I guess.

Howard the Duck 03-24-2011 07:57 AM

i have a ferret in my pants

you'd be surprised at its energy
