Dealing with Rejection
Rejection is never a nice feeling; it can make us doubt ourselves as well as cloud our ability to see how the world perceives us. The pain/embarrassment of rejection is what stops men from approaching women and with the rise of online dating, less and less men have the courage to make the first move in person. Today, we’re going to give you some tips on how you can go about overcoming rejection. By the end of this post, you should have the tools you need to make a move on the girl who’s caught your attention.
Don’t Take Rejection Personally
Whenever you get rejected, it’s hard to not take it personally; you can’t help but think that there’s someone wrong with you. Was it something you said? How you look? Your style of dress? The list can be endless. The reality is though, you’re just not everybody’s cups of tea. We all have things we’re drawn to, so if somebody doesn’t take a liking to you, it just means you don’t have whatever it is they’re looking for. For instance, you may have black hair but the lady you’re interested in is attracted to guys with blonde hair.
Learn to Let it Go
One of the things that woman hate about men is that fact that some guys just don’t know when to walk away. Sure, in some instances, persistence can be quite charming, however, when a woman flat out displays that she isn’t interested, you should walk away. The truth is, the longer you hang around in situations like this, the less interested she’ll become in you. You don’t want to come off as a clingy or desperate guy, so knowing when to cut your losses is a must.
Building up Your Resilience
Loving yourself and being comfortable with the person you are is one of the best ways to deal with rejection. This is because if you’re able to find value from within, the things that happen outside of your control won’t alter the perception you have of yourself. Of course, this is much easier said than done and it may take you some time to get to this stage. At the end of the day, you should be able to face rejection while still feeling great about the person you are.
Hope for Rejection
When making an approach, it may work in your favour to act as though you expect to be turned away. The funny thing is, the less you care/stress about things like this, the more natural you’ll come across during your interactions. Not caring about the outcome will allow you to think and feel freely which may be just the thing you need to draw in the attention of your love interest.
How to Overcome Rejection
When it comes to overcoming rejection, first-hand experience is everything. The more you get rejected the more numb you’ll become to the feeling, eventually, rejection won’t be something that bothers you as you’ll be able to take it on the chin. Remember, dating is a numbers game, the more approaches you make, the more rejections you’ll get; that being said, you’ll also get a lot more women saying yes to you.
Being able to handle rejection with your head held high can actually win you points with the ladies; you see, if you display that rejection is something you can take in your stride, it’ll make you look confident, a trait that women love to see in men.
