So I guess it kind of hurts inside a little...?

Question

My friend told me that the boy I've been trying to talk to doesn't seem to be interested in me...

She didn't say it in a mean way but it just hurt a little.

Has anyone ever been rejected?

Tell me your stories...it'll make me feel better.

Answer 1

No one's ever been remotely interested in me, if that makes you feel any better.

Answer 2

Yeah, Ive gotten rejected a few times. Not going into detail, its just plain and simple. We learn and grow from our hardships. Never less, it may not feel like it at the moment; but it will later on.

I've learned not to let myself crush or fall in love with some one when I know it won't go anywhere. I hate setting myself up for rejection.

Answer 3

yes i was in the middle of a great relationship and she just said i dont give a **** about u anymore its over... im better off without you

Answer 4

Well, once I had a huge, major crush on this boy named Scott. Neither of us were out of the closet at all, but I just knew he was g*y and (I admit, being a bit cocky) that he probably liked me. We hung out a lot and had mutual friends. One night we were riding around and he was silent for a while and then he asked me if I liked him. I told him I did. And then he asked "I mean "really" like me"? And I said yeah and so we ended up parking and making out.

Well, I was very happy about it and was like "At last! I got him!" But then the next day he told me we could only be friends because he was seeing someone else. =(! But I knew he was lying! I could just never figure out why he changed his mind over night after telling me things like "I've been wanting this so long" and blah blah blah.

I was very hurt and also infuriated. It was like a roller coaster: sad mad, sad mad, sad mad. lol Then, even worse, he started dating my sister! Gaaa! Now THAT was hard to take. But you know what's funny? He broke up with her a few months later, giving her the excuse that he was in love with someone else... and then he tried to get together with me, saying he'd been a fool and I was really who he wanted all along but was too afraid to accept his gayness.

But by that time I had a real boyfriend and so I told him "I'm afraid to accept your insecurities into my life, so p**s off" (plus a lot more. lol). I guess it was mean, but I'm not going to be anyone's 2nd choice or afterthought. I myself would never in a vigintillion years settle for 2nd, and I won't be 2nd either.

So really, Retrobyte, your bad news (but do you know it for "sure"?) might in a way be good news. Look at it this way, if you can: I know you to be a sweet, intelligent, compassionate, darling hottie. So if your boy doesn't see and appreciate that, then who'se the loser? Not you, HIM.

You haven't been rejected mon ami: you've just been overlooked by a blind person. Don't feel hurt. Just feel special and loved. =P

*hugs a lot*

Answer 5

Yeah, I know how it hurts buddy. Like you feel emotionally numb inside. because you loved that person and they don't reciprocate your feelings. I've liked my friend for almost a year already. She knows and flirts too but she tells me she already likes this one guy and the whole school seems to know about them because they're always together. It saddens me and I know I should move on and shouldn't love her anymore, but I don't know how to make the feelings stop. It's painful. I just hope it goes away though. Or maybe, one day, she'll tell me she loves me. I still have a bit of hope left in me that she'll be interested someday...
