How do I deal with rejection?

I asked this guy to prom... long story short he declined.

This is the first time I've asked someone out in general, and I can't stop thinking about it. It seems so surreal that it actually happened honestly. Tomorrow I have to go back to school and he's in most of my classes. I don't know how I'd survive being in the same room with him.

So what I'm asking is... how do I get over this feeling? What are some ways you guys deal with rejection? Please let me know. It'd help a lot.

Was it a legit reason why he declined? Really is no big deal, just move on and let it be his loss for missing a great experience.
