How to Handle a RejectionBy Amanda Willis
Okay, so you've had your eye on that (hopefully) special someone for quite a time now. She's sexy, smart, career-minded, and seems to share many common interests with you. It's time to move in, right? So... go for it! OUCH! She said no? Wow. What is her problem? Well, whatever, let's move on with life and continue the search for a great partner. Hey, I said let's go! Oh, you can't? You're dwelling on the rejection? Bummer. Here are a few quick ways you can handle rejection and quickly move on without letting it get you down. First up, jump back in. I know it's a lot easier said than done, but if you immediately begin looking for other possible partners, that previous rejection has more of a chance to be corrected. I know; it's not exactly helping your mind forget about the last one, but for this point in time, we want to play the numbers game. So keep the search on, even while your mind is shuddering over the last "no." Now that the odds have been increased, focus on your particular expectations. Why did that last one reject you? Was it you? Probably! But that doesn't mean anything's wrong with you. It just means that particular person wasn't feeling the vibe. So, if you can, quantify the person who rejected you down to a "type" and avoid that. Okay, so you're back up on the horse, you're actually aware of what you should avoid. Now it's time to line up the planets. Like it or not, rejection is life. You simply must reconcile yourself to the fact that, try as you might, not everyone's interested in you. If you're taking it personally, then it's your fault for getting attached without one single reason to be so close to that person. Increase your search odds, avoid the type of person that doesn't want to date you, and proceed to go about your life as if the rejection never happened. Believe it or not, it's a blessing in disguise. There's nothing quite like a good learning experience.
