Handling Rejection

Many of us find it hard in handling rejection especially when it comes to dating. We can get rejected from wanting the career of a lifetime and it doesn’t seem to phase us emotionally, but dating is another ball game!

Why is that?

Well, I think it has to do with putting so much stock into finding the right person that is makes it hard to accept rejection. We can be on the job hunt for years by getting rejected time and time again, but we pick ourselves off the floor.

We can do the same when it comes to dating.

Remember this one thing when you are dating and I am sure it will help. If you accepted the first person who liked you, how would your love life be long term? Do you think you would live happily ever after with no problems? I don’t think so!

If you are going to meet the right person, you are going to have to do some rejecting and expect to be rejected. So put on your hard hat and get out there baby!

How to reject others

When it is your time to reject someone please try hard to put yourself in their shoes. I think many people don’t do this and the rejection is not delivered reasonably well.

The easiest way to do this is by explaining the thing(s) that you like about the person while dating for example “I really liked our interesting conversations.”

Explain that you just don’t feel that there is enough chemistry between the two of you. There are many times where there just isn’t much in common and that can be a problem down the road.

The bottom line is to be nice, honest, and professional. Your date will appreciate this more than the never call you back person that falls off the face of the earth.

Dealing with rejection

Here are some things to think about the next time you are rejected by someone:

• It is not the end of the world

• This will bring you closer to the right person one day

• Stay away from the word never. “I will never find true love.”

• Don’t go drinking, eating, and smoking your sorrows away as this is only a temporary fix.

• Hang out with people who love you and who want to spend time with you since they enjoy your company.

• Once you have it flushed out of your system, jump back on the horse and ride on!

Bottom line rejection is not fun, but it is a part of life that we all have to be willing to accept. Everything happens for a reason!
