A rejection is a blow to our ego, especially when it is by someone we really liked.
Rejection can have us running to our mirrors to examine our warts and all. And if you get rejected enough, you begin to look for the mutant tail possibly growing from your behind.
Rejection can get you wanting to make a cocoon of your blanket, so you never have to leave your bed again.
Is it you? Are you really a horrible person? Or is it them? Do they just not know what they are missing? They just don't get you.
After a long dry spell in your dating life, should you give up and accept your life as a singleton?
"When it comes to life and love, why do we believe our worst reviews?" Carrie Bradshaw asked on Sex and the City.
But, then again, is their love out their for everyone?
We can't give up hope.

What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger. Or something like that. If I ask a stranger out and I'm rejected it takes quite a while to recover! I'm not going to ask someone else out that same evening. Well, ok, only if I've had a few drinks. Using an online dating service one quickly learns to deal with rejection. On one of my bloggings I wrote about "artist" girl who led me on then rejected me outright without even the decency of saying why. This was one of the few times I actually retaliated against something like that, sending her a quite nasty text message. I can't remember what I said exactly but it was something along the lines of she deserves whatever she gets and no wonder her last ex didn't trust her.
Yeah, people should have the decency to give you a reason for a break up . . . but maybe she didn't have a good reason or maybe she felt bad about doing it. Still no excuse.
P.S. I officially deleted my online dating account. I only lasted a week. It's just not my thing.
All those Sex and the City quotes: I'm imagining Sarah Jessica Parker's voice every time that I read your journal entries...
But, as you write, being rejected isn't fun.
There is a lot of relationship wisdom that can be found in Sex and the City.
I think every guy should watch the series all the way through. Guys could learn something.
And I'm more of a Miranda-type when it comes to my personality.
