How do I deal with rejection?

take a really deep breath!

ok first things first...attractiveness is not ALL on the outside...

place yourself on a scale of 1-10 looks-wise. lets say your a 4 (for arguments sake and based on your feelings about your own looks). NOW...here is the tricky part. Your personality and confidence counts for another 1-10 scale. Right now your confidence is low...and i dont know your personality. But lets say its a 10. you average those two scores...so your 4 in looks became a 7 overall.

SO what CAN you change...be more confident and be yourself. There IS someone out there for you...and they will love you...big nose and bald head and ALL.

THAT SAID...you need to ask out a LOT of girls to find that ONE. If you never ask, you will never know. In the end...would you rather have been rejected a million times and find that special someone to live with, or never have tried and live alone forever.

Getting rejected is ZERO fun, but you take a deep breath and you try again, because when someone does say yes, its SO worth it.

At your age, women are much less judgmental than you might remember from being young, and much less concerned with looks.

now for meeting women (unless you have someone in mind)...DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT go to a bar. join a club that involves something that you enjoy. rock climbing, running, biking, cooking, writing/poetry, ect. ect. THAT is where you meet people that can REALLY see your personality.

LAST but NOT LEAST...go slow. Don't ask someone to be your girlfriend, dont ask them out on a date. Test the waters first, and ask a girl out to grab a drink after a meeting, or to grab a cup of coffee. Its an innocent 15-30 minutes meet-up where you can talk and get to know each other.

dont be discouraged and keep your head up.

no matter waht anyone says there is at least one person that cares about you.

rejection for anything? if and when i deal with rejection and failure, this is my thought process: Of course, I first feel disappointment and shame at "losing." I then feel anger, mainly at myself. Then, I close of all my feelings and I heal myself emotionally by slowly distancing myself from the situation. Then, I'll continue to pursue until I get what I want. Throughout this whole thing however, I kind of subconsciously keep a stony and non-caring look plastered on my face. Although, if we're talking about love here, then I would guess that it would either make me want the person more, or I would decide that they're not worth it and become cold emotionally (although they wouldn't be able to tell because I would still act warm towards them). But I rarely ever openly pursue, so I've never actually faced rejection in that matter.

I believe there is someone for everyone. I think that maybe before you make a move to ask a girl out, that you strive to make 'friends' with females first to build up your confidence that girls can like you for who you are.

Let me say this about your looks....most people are average looking, with a few above average and a few below average. Even if you truly think you are not that good looking, other people may not perceive you the same way. And I can honestly say that some of the most wonderful men I have ever met were not good looking guys..but they learned to compensate their looks with a good personality: sense of humor, honesty, loyalty, intelligence, and confidence. And it is amazing how that will transform someone into a very appealing and attractive person.

Pray that you'll find the right girl soon. Deal with your inferiority complex first. Everyone has a soul mate. Wait. You're only 35 anyway. There's still 36, 37, 38, 39. Age doesn't matter. What matters is that when you do finally get that girl, will she be the right one?

I think you should first deal with your self-image and talk to a psychologist.

At 35, you've been rejected before, be it a job, a grade, a friend, whatever. Same thing. Just smile and thank them, then move on with your life.

Look, you can't be that bad but in order for you to date, or begin dating, you have to love yourself. So, make a list and think of all your positive qualities. (Ask your friends and family for help) and throughout the day, as tempted as you are to get depressed, read through the list. Do this until you feel comfortable to leave the list at home.

Trust me, it works.

Don't be so hard on yourself. Try reinventing your look. Go shaved head if your worried about your balding which isn't a big deal lol. Key to getting girls isn't so much about looks. Its about personality and confidence.

umm. rejection really isnt that bad

just find a girl and ask her out

mehn you have to accept yourself..dont be too depressed cos some people have worse conditions..and what you have to know is that there is someone out there for you..you just have to find her

well first if your 35 and still a virgin, just go to a cat house or something, you will prob have alot more confidence after that experience....sorry but thats all i could think of
