    Rejection is very painful (especially when you're young), but sweetie, rejection happens to EVERYONE and can happen for any reason! You have to not take it soooo personally. I have been rejected by guys for not being skinny enough, for not being this, that, etc. I know guys who have been rejected for being too short, too tall, etc. The point is not to be so hurt by it! If you see him at school, just walk on by proudly (not wimpering and looking sad) and let him know you don't care that he rejected you, that you will find someone else who will cherish you!!!! You will be okay. No more crying!

    Thank you for answering mine :)

    Personally I have never been rejected because I've never put myself out there enough to be rejected.

    You know from my question that I have gotten blanked once by a really close guy friend... and It hurt like hell.. I mean it shouldn't have.. It was a once off thing .. minor even but it hurt.. and I was angry with him.... I never said anything to him though.. I got angry.. mulled the situation over a bit and then I was more upset than angry... now everything is cool between us again...

    So I guess I just get really upset.... If I were you, at school on Monday I'd just act as if it never happened.. it will be a little awkward for a little while but you two will get over it and it'll be forgotten about.. I hope I helped ^_^

    It will be awkward but if you can try to avoid him for a little while and then when you can sit down and talk, do it and I'm sure it will end in we'll still be friends type of thing. I know it will hurt at first, I've been in the same situation before but it will get a lot easier as time goes by.

    Also: if you have relationship questions you come out better not posting it in this catergory not that there is something wrong with this section but there are just so many questions, it's easy for yours to get bumped to the 3rd or 4th page before anyone even sees it. You have a better chance of putting this in the Friends or adolescent sections.

    I'm not gonna lie .. It's goin to be awkward the first couple of days, then you're either going to start liking someone else or not care anymore. I've have gotten rejection from Gus that were in my class and I remember missin a Monday because I was scared to see him again, but eventually I went to school and everything went back to normal. Now I tell myself that it was his lost because I am a great person and the girl that he is dating now is such a *****

    When I got rejected the last time I became frustrated, cried a few times. The sad part is that it was supposed to be awkward between us for a few days but it's been weeks since we spent some serious time. I suggest you move over even though it's going to be hard. Try not to ignore him, it will make things even worse. Act like nothing happened. Best of luck!

    It's going to be awkward but that doesn't mean it has to stop your friendship with him. Show him that you don't have to have him and that you can be happy with some other people. I know it is hard but its his loss. It is hard to find a girl that has the guts to confront a guy! So, don't beat yourself up about it. You can cry and take your time to heal but don't take too long. Occupy yourself to help stop thinking about it. If hes being a jerk, don't be his friend for now. Do what is best for yourself!

    adult adult males deal with rejection better so than women individuals. in spite of everything, in view that we adult adult males are typically those who're predicted traditionally to be the pursuers of love, sex, and relationships, we are those who placed ourselves obtainable better typically than woman. as a effect, we are used to having women individuals telling us no to our advances. women individuals for the most area can sit lower back and characteristic the right of refusal. in spite of the truth that, rejection can address many sorts as well being advised that the different individual isn't in contact in them that way.

    Don't worry about it. You are strong. I would never have the guts to ask someone out. You will find someone who really appreciates you. Don't be nervous to be around someone who doesn't need you. Show them you are happy without them
