"Rejection? Do you take it personally? Do you decide the person is ‘playing hard to get’ and try harder? Do you get angry / bitter? Do you shrug it off and set your attentions on someone else? " In the context of this site/scene, I usually approach any interaction with a huge dose of pessimism and assume I won't get anywhere anyway, so anything else is a bonus. I don't let myself get so emotionally involved or invested in the lifestyle that it becomes hard to deal with people either not being interested or miving on. I can't be bothered with the whole dance of playing hard to get, and to be honest would probably just read it as 'no thanks' rather than 'no but keep trying'. Angry? Nah, I've got better things to do with my time. Best just to move on. | |||

"Rejection? Do you decide the person is ‘playing hard to get’ and try harder? " You reminded me of Mr Collins and Miss Eliza Bennet then "I am not now to learn," replied Mr. Collins, with a formal wave of the hand, "that it is usual with young ladies to reject the addresses of the man whom they secretly mean to accept, when he first applies for their favour; and that sometimes the refusal is repeated a second, or even a third time. I am therefore by no means discouraged by what you have just said, and shall hope to lead you to the altar ere long." | |||

"On here? I keep it simple. I delete messages from my sent items folder immediately. Unless the other person replies, I won't even know if my message was read. One woman I met here showed me her inbox once. I was shocked at the number of messages she received everyday. Knowing that helps a lot when it comes to dealing with rejection. In real world, it hurts more obviously. But that's life." This seems like a reasonable approach. | |||

"If you mean on here, I've never had to deal with it because I don't have the type of conversations that could result in rejection. Years ago I've had replies to say I'm not what they are looking for but as we hadn't met or chatted beyond that there was nothing to deal with. In real life I have struggled with it in the distant past and it caused a lot of self doubt and anger. Anger at myself though for being too nice and allowing myself to be walked on. " I agree it does put self doubt in all of us. I just go well, move on and plenty more fun to be had. No one drags us down. Think positive. | |||

"Rejection? Do you take it personally? Do you decide the person is ‘playing hard to get’ and try harder? Do you get angry / bitter? Do you shrug it off and set your attentions on someone else? " Depends what your being rejected from and by whom. If its a date with a stranger from a website... Who gives a flying... And next. But if it's advances or plans with someone I care about its very different. In that case all kinds of responses and none of them good. It's easy to say brush it off and all that tosh but realistically... I probably start with hurt feelings. | |||

" I don't think you would get rejected by many do you? I mean you do have a specific look but your hot. But it's taste I am always amazed what different people find sexy. I worked with a friend in shopping mall and we as men do used to look out for girls, what he found sexy and I found sexy were worlds apart. Which is good as there is someone for everyone. | |||

"I take it quite personally and tend to overthink why they decided that, especially if they had seemed keen in the first place. I suddenly doubt how I come accross, how much of myself I should show upfront and how guarded I should be going forward which can alter my behaviour and confidence. So yeah, I don't think I handle it in a healthy way " .. . Are you me JB? Cause that's exactly what I do... that and repeatedly tell myself I must be fat/ugly/horrible etc etc | |||

Thanks for the compliment x 2. It was a more general question than a personal one. Personally my attitude is “two years in a bucket, mother fuck it.” 3. Everyone has been rejected by someone, at some point, whether it’s online or IRL. EVERYONE. You could be VIP Hollywood royalty with a perfectly symmetrical everything, and there’s someone out there who doesn’t want to have sex with you. And that’s absolutely fine | |||

"Rejection is a bitter pill to swallow - you have to be kind to yourself and understand that one size doesn't fit all - and if you are doing the rejecting.. Be thoughtful in your delivery " Reminds me of a song.. "For the bitterest pill is hard to swallow The love I gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows" | |||

"Rejection on Fab; by someone I haven't even met "face to face"....no real loss there, if I have lost out, I will never know. (Unless the 'veris' state she was a 'Goddess' but whilst I read up everything available prior to contacting -yes, unusual male behaviour- I have yet to read feedback stating her sex was as stale as her boring personality.) " I want to be the first to receive that veri. That’s a veri I would proudly publish | |||
