The worst 'dating' rejection someone had to face?

Status
Not open for further replies.
I once asked out the girl I liked back in Sixth Form and she said "Haha, don't take the piss" and jovially nudged my shoulder with her fist.

Oh, also, before that, in Year 10, before I'd ever even made a move or any indication, the girl I liked came over to me and really sweetly said "I heard rumours that you might maybe like me but can we just be friends, thanks" and then walked off.
 
Ah okay that makes sense. I'll probably end up at the Cat house brothel one day in Nevada. You see, I've made a deadline for my virginity. If I'm still a virgin by age 30 and not seeing anyone, I'm flying to Carson City Nevada to spend a day at the brothel. It's also motivation for me to put myself out there more because I don't exactly want to have sex for the first time in that fashion but at the same time I don't want to be a virgin forever. Now you're telling me I could be rejected by those prostitutes when initially I thought it was a sure fire thing? hopefully their standards are somewhere in the middle between a high end escorts and a craigslist skank. I should be okay then.



Interesting. We're in similar circumstances (except that I'm over 30 already and still a virgin), and I've never considered seeing a prostitute. I honestly think I'd rather die a virgin (most likely scenario) than to have my only time having sex being with somebody who is only doing it for cash.
 
I had spent a few hours with this girl at her home, it was a woman I had met earlier that night. I am a awkward guy, cause you know my personality doesn't match the stereotype of my appearance hahaha so as we're laying in bed I looked over at her and was like "So, we did this backwards, we're supposed to go out then come back to your place, so how about we go out to dinner next weekend?"

She looked at me and said "You're not really "date" material. But we can hook up again sometime."

I suppose I should preface it with that time we spent I was talking about science stuff then switched to video games and anime hahaha, she just acted interested I guess cause she wanted some.

And the worst was about 4 months ago, a girl saw me and my friend walking towards them in a bar and got up and walked the other way. Cracked me up.

That's a win in my book.
 
I've had a lot but they were all quick rejections and none of them from girls in my social circle/class etc.

The worst one are those where the girl just doesn't react at all, like you're rejected from being in her realm of existence haha.
 
I don't think I have ever been rejected (mostly due to the fact that I don't do the chasing), but I have had friends that got those stupid numbers that tell you off.
Also, reading a lot of these are sad...
 
Back in my younger days, I'd ask girls out on a whim during a transaction. For example, a girl working at the pet store.

Anyway, never had any issues, and I had some great dates doing this, but one time I asked this girl and she paused, didn't answer, and stared at me with a blank face. She asked, "With you?" and I said, "Yeah, with me." And she said, "Ah, no."

She then walked away from the counter, and that was that. I was just standing there. Thankfully, no one was behind me.

Not very tactful, that.
 
Got one that stings to this day.
I was near this girl I kinda had a crush on. In hindsight, she was evidently gossiping about boys. As I passed by, I heard my name. I didn't hear the context in which it was used. So playfully, I said, "Who, me?"

The girl looks at her friend, then let out one of those fake stifled "Pffffffft" laughters, and followed it up with "Oh please, John. I think I have much better taste than that".

:'(

Fuck that bitch though, she was seriously never attractive in my eyes again.
 
Asked a girl out at work in front of, like, 10 customers. Told me she had a boyfriend. That was it. I was actually proud of myself for asking her out in front of other people, still wearing my work uniform, AND the fact that she was a 10/10.

I've been lucky.
 
Met a girl at uni recently who's almost perfect for me, we have a ridiculous amount in common. One day she got really drunk when we were at the student bar so that she could build up the courage to talk to me, she kept staring at me as I was on the other side of the tbale we were all sat on. I say I'm gonna go and at this point in her drunken state she says "NOOOOO" and gets up so she can walk back home with me, we talked for a while as she kept apologising saying "I'm not like this at all, please don't think less of me", of course I didn't considering I always thought she was incredibly shy and I already thought really highly of her anyway. I get back into my room and she calls me drunk telling me she really likes me, I sort of shrug it off as a drunken mishap. Come before the weekend we met up and talked about it- of course with her just getting out of a 3 year relationship she said she wanted to take things slow, which I completely understood, she hugged me and left for the weekend to go back to her real home rather than uni accommodation. I get texts from her the next morning, apologising profusely that she had slept with her ex-bf's best friend but saying she meant everything she said about liking me, tells me to forget about it and we continue on.

Of course at this point, warning bells go off in my head and I start think what the fuck I'm getting myself into- but being the idiot I am I go forward with it anyway. She comes over to mine and we just talk for about 6 hours about everything we like, I felt a connection with her as she had suffered from anxiety before like I have and we generally liked the same stuff. Nothing happens and I walk her back to her room. The next day she texts me saying "I think we should stay friends, I can't encourage a spark when I have something with that other guy". At this point I've felt played. I don't really know what to say in response except "okay, I guess" and she gets pissy with me. The following day we start talking again and after a couple hours of talking she says "I really like talking to you" followed swiftly by "sorry, I'm digging myself a hole". We decided it'd be best if we not talk for the weekend. The next week I see her and we make pancakes together, after seeing her we both go back to our rooms- I decided this time I wouldn't facebook or text her about it all and I get message on facebook saying "It was nice seeing you today". Of course I fall for the trap and start talking back. She's continuing to have problems with this other guy who she claims she's "seeing" now, he's walking all over her just like I let her do with me. He's been sleeping with other girls and generally not giving a fuck about her. Starting to think she wants me there as a rebound just incase it fucks up for real, considering I'm the only guy she's liked at uni and we've been here for around 6 months already.

This is still ongoing and I feel like this is probably the worst rejection I've had because it's not entirely a rejection, it's just stringing me along and being dumb I'm happy to go along with it. Pretty boring teenager-esque problems of a 19 year old I know but it does help to write something about it I guess, just glad I haven't had something as bad as some of the ones I've read in here.

Yes that doesn't sound like a "rejection" of sorts, but more of you being the rebound guy just in case. She wants to stay in good with you, "just in case." So she makes you her cuddle bitch. It happens to the best of us my friend.

Well, at least you recognize she is stringing you along...you'll come to your sense eventually. She sounds like a mess though.

She certainly is- she's incredibly fickle and suffered from depression for 3 years, I've already had to talk her out of cutting which was not fun. I'm still holding out hope that maybe she'll just ditch that guy but I'm coming around to the idea that it's probably just best to let it go at this point. Because when she's not acting like this she's a really nice girl that's just fun to be around.
 
The reason most of gaf is forever alone is they are afraid of rejection.

If you're gonna actively try to date you will be rejected...this shit happens...get over it.

You've mentioned you had some anxiety/depression issues as well? Is it a good idea to get two anxious/depressed people together? It sounds like a recipe for disaster.
 
I honestly prefer when girls straight up reject me. I mean, compared to them saying "maybe", or "sure, I'll let you know". A simple "no" would suffice.

Dating someone who is so depressed that you have to talk them out of cutting themselves is a horrible, horrible idea.
 
I've been preemptively rejected:

I interned at a library and they gave me a small office that I had to share with a girl who was also an intern. First day at the gig, I come in and sit down at my desk. About two minutes later, she comes in with a sour expression on her face. I waved and said "hi', but she just ignored me, walked right by my desk, and sat down at her's without saying a word. Then after about 5 seconds, she took a deep breath, looked at me and said "Let's get one thing clear. I'm here to work and focus on my studies. I'm not interested in dating. If you keep out of my hair, I won't cause you any trouble.". I was pretty much dumbfounded and couldn't even find a reply, but then my supervisor came in with my first assignment so I didn't bother saying anything.

I swear, even though I was there four months, five days a week, and we were in that office together every day, "hi" was the first and last thing I said to her.

I wouldn't take it personally, she's probably just disgusted at men in general it sounds like.

LOL....I would have playfully tormented her. Random flowers, candy, and compliments. And when she finally softened up I would have told her "act professional...we are at work"

that's just the kinda guy I am.

Only anxiety issues, I don't usually get depressed- just worried/stressed. I don't really know the extent of her depression fully though, so at this point I'm just being careful, every guy she's gone out with has broken up with her because of her depression which funnily enough probably made it worse. I can handle that sort of stuff by now, went out with a girl for about a year and had to deal with it- I liked her so much that I could deal with it anyway, don't know if it'd be the same case again.
 
I've never been rejected since I've never dated anyone.

In hindsight I think I might have lead someone on.

There was a girl I used to talk to a lot in school. We eventually moved to going to eachother's houses to hang out and stuff. I got along with her parents pretty well and thinking back there were a lot of little signs pointing to the potential possibility that she liked me.

I think I kind of liked her as well, but at some point the possibility crossed my mind that she might want to be in a relationship or something, I became nervous and afraid. Following this I cut off all contact with her. I've seen her a few times at random locations since then but I just pretend that I don't notice her.

Is what I did considered bad? At the time it seemed like the right thing to do since I wasn't mentally prepared for a relationship, also I didn't have any absolute confirmation of her intentions so this could have all been a misunderstanding.
 
My small story, I wasn't the one rejected but I got impacted by it. I have a pager for work, every so many weeks I was on 24/7 call for the whole week. My pager starts going off at various times but nobody leaves a number. I panic thinking I have a production job down, even call into the datacenter but nothing. This goes on for three days finally they leave a number I call immediately and a guy picks up.

Me: "I was paged from this number."
Guy: "Ow it wasn't me."
Me: "Not you? have you been calling 555-1234 the past three days at the these times, I then list the times."
Guy: "Um.. I met this woman we really hit it off...."
Me: "No man she isn't here this is a work pager your calling."
Guy: "Ow.. sorry."

Guy sounded like he had his heart ripped out.

Yeah, that's not cool.
You sensed a potential problem and ran away from it, instead of just finding a way to make your intentions clear.

It happens - you shouldn't be condemned for it or anything, people make mistakes but you probably hurt her feelings quite a bit.

I was nervous a fuck the whole time I was there because I got a really bad vibe that she was a dangerous person; like stalk you from work to your home then pop out of the bushes and stab you to death dangerous.

Even though I made sure not to make eye contact with her, I SWEAR I could see her staring at me in my peripheral vision, motionless for 15 minutes at a time.

One day it was supposed to rain later on, so I took my umbrella when I left that morning. I left it by the door in the office a few feet away from my desk. Come quitting time, it's pouring down rain and she left a couple minutes before me. I stand up, put on my jacket, and of course my umbrella is gone. I come into work the next day and when I come back from lunch, my umbrella mysteriously appeared right where I left it.

I knew she stole it. Did I confront her? Hell naw!

Well anytime someone tells you "keep out of my hair and I won't make trouble for you," yeah, dangerous. You should had asked her first off who says "I won't make trouble for you" and secondly, what kind of trouble?
 
The funniest one for me was being rejected by someone who I wasn't going to ask out.

Met her during high school and she was pretty cool, smart and funny. Developed a crush on her but I knew she was interested in another guy so I didn't really make any effort. Eventually, after hanging around her and hearing about her problems with her boyfriend, I realized she was pretty crazy, so the attraction disappeared instantly. She was still pretty chill though, so I was very much interested in being friends with her. We start chilling and joking around and I guess she takes my messing around the wrong way.

Later in the year, I learn that she's talking shit about me, which kinda fucking stung coming from a "friend". She starts telling her friends she's afraid I'm going to ask her out and crap. Needless to say, that soured the friendship pretty fast. Things were awkward after that.

Other than that, just the standard rejection and stuff. I was pretty keen at picking up signals so I usually would know if she was interested or not, that said I did simp after a girl in jr high pretty hard, but that was your standard young stupid kid thing.
 
Yeah, that's not cool.

I see. I was still immature back then so I didn't consider her feelings in my decision making.

I'll remember for next time though (if there ever is a next time that is).
 
I started out my life with rejections, even indirectly when it was apparently obvious to see I had a crush and I was outed (I never speak to anyone about my crushes) and the girl was, though not mockingly, responding playfully yet seriously "no way I would date a guy like him" in the classroom. At that moment I hoped it was just a joke event or something and that it was pure chance that someone in the class would say I liked someone (though the exact person I had a crush on).

My first actual confession (after many years of held-in crushes) was turned down nicely, though through mail, since I confused through mail... while drunk. Felt a bit dumb after that, since I almost never drink and the first time I was a bit tipsy, I do something like that (also stating in the mail I was tipsy).

I grew up as a chubby kid, so my confidence was pretty damn awful. I think a lot of that still lingers in me. Nowadays I don't do any dating. I feel like I would be a bad candidate due to my own financial and educational situation and don't feel like to impose that on anyone until I have fixed that (though I don't have an image issue anymore, yay?). But even if this is the case, along the years I made some good friends. Some of them are female and I have the feeling I've been leading them on, at least if I consider their point of view. Which is unfortunate... because it's pretty awkward when no one flat out confesses, so there's nothing to flat out refuse. I just end up seeing them less and less hoping 'they get it' :(
 
I crushed on a girl in high school, she was a bit of a tomboy. I asked her out, she threw me right on the temple with a tennis ball travelling at like 8km per second. I lost my footing and fell straight on my bum, she walked over kicked me against the thigh and said no lol

We ended up briefly dating a couple of years later though
 
The only way I've been rejected while asking someone out is just a straight up "no thanks." Reading some of these stories, I feel pretty grateful for it. I did date a girl for a little over a month, who broke things off by dropping off the face of the planet. I wasn't too bummed out about it, but, damn, just telling me would have saved us both some time.
 
I haven't had any soul-crushing, or painfully embarrassing rejections, but I think it's safe to say that 99% of my rejections were, "Oh, you're such a great guy, and an awesome friend, but, I don't see you in that way."

It'd be so much nicer if they just outright said, "Yeah, I totally want a nice, caring, honest, funny, smart guy, as long as they look like Brad Pitt in his prime." I'd have preferred the bluntness. Needless to say, I'm so happy to be out of the dating game.
 
When you find out that the closeted guy you've been so graciously helping with identity struggles and the like has been calling you a faggot to all his friends behind your back?

Note to closeted guys: it doesn't make you look any less flaming when you go on the offensive.
 
My uncomfortably awkward moment came when rejecting my best friend in seventh grade. I was this pale white kid and she was a rather pretty filipino girl. We were best friends since 5th grade. Always hanging out together during lunch, after school and with mutual friends.

Anyway, when middle-school started we weren't always in the same classes. However, we did have an art class that we shared. It seemed she was constantly flirting with me during class (trying to touch, hug and being very playful). However, I never really thought much of it. Mainly because I still saw her as my best bud.

One day after school we started walking towards our buses like we always did. My bus was always before hers and we normally just said our goodbyes or made plans for later. This particular afternoon I was making her laugh really hard about some stupid joke. She stopped me right before I was about to get on and said "There's been something I need to tell you". She immediately grabbed my shirt and pulled me close - passionately kissing me (for a 7th grader) and sticking her tongue in my mouth. At which point I absolutely froze and had no idea what to do or say. My only response was "I can't do this", and turned around entering the bus. I walked towards the back and sat down. As I looked out the window - I saw her just standing there about to cry. I put my head down and waited anxiously for the bus to pull away.

We never spoke again.
 
Went out for drinks with this girl i worked with at the time, that night sent her a text along the lines of we should get dinner another time.
she texted back two days later making some joke about our boss liking that place maybe i should ask him. Like a year or so later she said she didn't because it would have been awkward at work. I wouldn't have mind if she said it would be awkward but the joke back made me hate her from that day on.

edit:
got another one, in 6th grade asked a girl out in my class, she said yes then later when i asked when we should meet up she asked why. She thought i was asking her out for my friend
also had one in 7th where the girl was like we should stay friends and didn't remember my name.
 
My uncomfortably awkward moment came when rejecting my best friend in seventh grade. I was this pale white kid and she was a rather pretty filipino girl. We were best friends since 5th grade. Always hanging out together during lunch, after school and with mutual friends.

Anyway, when middle-school started we weren't always in the same classes. However, we did have an art class that we shared. It seemed she was constantly flirting with me during class (trying to touch, hug and being very playful). However, I never really thought much of it. Mainly because I still saw her as my best bud.

One day after school we started walking towards our buses like we always did. My bus was always before hers and we normally just said our goodbyes or made plans for later. This particular afternoon I was making her laugh really hard about some stupid joke. She stopped me right before I was about to get on and said "There's been something I need to tell you". She immediately grabbed my shirt and pulled me close - passionately kissing me (for a 7th grader) and sticking her tongue in my mouth. At which point I absolutely froze and had no idea what to do or say. My only response was "I can't do this", and turned around entering the bus. I walked towards the back and sat down.

We never spoke again.

Goddamn...
 
When you find out that the closeted guy you've been so graciously helping with identity struggles and the like has been calling you a faggot to all his friends behind your back?

Note to closeted guys: it doesn't make you look any less flaming when you go on the offensive.

I see....he'e trying to be all "dude" with the fellas but secretly seeking manfriends. Actually my wife's cousin did this for years and when he came out we all said "duh" and laughed about it. Good guy though.

I chased one girl early on college..she was a swimmer so I thought being a sports guy/cool bro was the way to go when actually yeah I played football but I had a ton of similiar interests to hers....finally asked her out after fronting all summer..."you're not my kind of guy"...but I was :-(
 
Nice thread.

I had this little crush years ago. I saw her every weekend in the club we visited almost every friday and saturday at the time. She always smiled at me and danced pretty close to me. It took me about a month to go up to her and ask her if she would like to have a drink with me. She replied that she would love that. I was filled with joy and speechless. Then she told me she needed to look for her friend and that i should just wait for a moment.


I never saw her again and i never had the courage to ask a girl for a drink again.

:/
 
I've never been flat-out rejected since I've never really "hit on" a girl before. My previous relationships kind of just developed naturally in most cases.

However, my Sophomore year of high school, this girl and I had a "thing" going on for about four months. Almost every fucking week I'd mention dating but she'd always come up with some bullshit excuse like, "I really like you, but I'm just not ready for a relationship yet." This went on for four months before eventually it went to shit and she ultimately just rejected me. It stung pretty bad, but whatever. She had a deep voice and bad breath anyway.
