Your most notable rejection

I actually rehashed it while showing my DD my '78 (8th grade) yearbook. I asked a girl out to prom and instead of telling me personally, she wrote in my yearbook that she didn't want to say yes because she was hoping another guy she liked would ask her out. And it was on the first page..............................
Needless to say, I didn't go to prom. I went to the pool hall instead and played Millipede that night.:cry:

Okay let's hear 'em!!!

    That girl was a great friend of mine. This thread is divisive, and offends me. Give yourself a warning please.....

    way back when i was young(er) and dumb(er), i thought i'd be unique and pierce the web of my left hand between the thumb and forefinger. my body rejected that piercing something fierce.

    In college there was a girl I had a huge crush on. She was several years older and had just broken up with her boyfriend. I saw it as an opportunity and sent her flowers and a poem I wrote her. She told me she wasn't interested.....Either that day or the next day I ended up staying over night at her best friends house and hooked up with her. She was either in a long-term relationship or engaged....I can't really remember.

    Mine was in 2010 shortly after my divorce. I asked him if he wanted to go out for a drink and he told me he doesn't date fat chicks. I ran into him at my bodybuilding competition last year and had the opportunity to return the favor of rejecting him.

    In Jr. High I had a guy break up with me by screaming it to me while I was walking up to our very crowded bus stop. I wanted to curl up and die... So, I slapped him and then I kissed his best friend in the hallway in front of him later that day.

    Yeah, not my greatest moment and that caused a major fight.

    I have been rejected more times that I've been pursued. Other than my husband, who I am starting to be convinced just likes to have a little insanity in his life, I'm pretty sure it was a big sea of rejection.

    His name was Derek. I was obsessed. Like freaky obsessed. Somewhere in a box are probably photos I took of his back.
    Yes his back.
    This went on for 3 years. Rejection after rejection. He treated me like the ugly stepsister.
    Broke my heart.

    Then he finally wised up after graduation. We dated for about three years.

    But he had lost his allure. Some objects are to be admired and not attained.

    My ex-fiance broke our engagement in a letter. That I got on Valentines Day. It's been 12 years since it happened, and I still hate that day of the year.

    Was about to ask the guy I had a crush on for years to go to homecoming with me, when he started asking me about a mutual friend. :cry: We ended up dating about a year later, turns out he was WAY too strait laced for me so we were better off as friends anyways. :tongue:

    All my life, I always got every man I wanted. They always came on to me; they didn't even know I liked them till they made their move. Then, I got OLD. There was one man I met... I haven't had any contact with him for years now. We were close friends. I never let on how I felt about him, and never told anyone else. He was the only one I ever wanted that I never got. But I was old, he was young, and he just didn't look at me in that way.

    I was about 12 and I was "in love" with an 18 year old who was super nice to me! Needless to say he noticed and had to take me aside one time and explain he was not interested in me "that way" and that I reminded him of his little sister a lot that's all.

    When you are at that age, being called "little" really hurts. You feel much older than your age. I still smile about it.. I was so little and so silly.

    I did just get dumped by a guy a week before we were supposed to go on vacation together. I didn't let it ruin the vacation, but it sucked thinking about him when we had down time.

    I have never been rejected or dumped.

    Unless, I count someone declining my FR.

    I had a guy tell me once he couldn't see me anymore because I was too cartoonish. His loss, cartoons are awesome.

    a girl actually asked me out and after figuring out our schedules decided on a date and time. i had gone to the mall with a friend and was running late.

    she and i scheduled for another time. this time she was running late and asked to reschedule.

    third time she called and my brother thought it was a friend and gave her a hard time for calling me so late (8pm) and when i realized who it was grabbed the phone and explained my brother was being an *kitten*.

    told her i could pick her up in 30 minutes to which she replied...im washing my hair.

    fast forward two weeks and im at a bar with my friends (all 21 and ex cheerleaders) and i see miss washing my hair. i tell my friends who she is and they quickly hatched a plan.

    girl approaches me and i complimented her on her clean hair. she kind smiled knowing i was being a **** and when i started the small talk my friends all came over and grabbed me. running their hands all over my chest and back and whining about want to go back to my place and play that game. we left.

    hair girl asked one of my friends there (who knew nothing about the backstory) who those bimbos were and he said, oh jerry always hangs out with them and they have fun.
