Rejection sucks, but it’s part of this game called ‘life.’ Being able to handle and accept a rebuff is an even more significant part. YOU know you’re special, but it doesn’t mean everyone will feel the same. You can be the cutest, most succulent plum, but some people hate plums — trust me, I know. There is a surefire way to deal with that ‘sexual or romantic snub’ that will make you come out on top and feel better about yourself every time. Pay attention.
Rejection unites us — I mean, look at all the losers on dating sites. But are we seeing it all wrong? It doesn’t have to be a painful and limiting experience. Most probably, your fear of rejection is holding you back from succeeding.
1) INSULT THEM
This probably sounds obvious, right? Apparently not. Everyone thinks of it, but a large majority of people, sadly, WON’T resort to petty name-calling after they’ve gotten the answer they didn’t want. You can complement the person you LUST for one minute and then completely change your mind because of the words’ no thanks’. They’ve said no; it’s personal, and you must have done something wrong. But let’s get creative with your insults. Does she have small breasts and a big nose? Now there’s a start. He’s got a tiny penis and no hair — away you go.
2) DO NOT ACCEPT THE REJECTION
There is no need to accept rejection or failure. Did Alexander Graham Bell give up after that first busy signal? When you’re told the news, take a couple of minutes, days even, and months if needed, to realize —THEY have made a huge mistake.
3) DON’T BE HONEST
Continue to fool yourself about how you feel. Allowing those feelings to manifest themselves into anger, depression, and substance abuse is undoubtedly a fun way to go. However, instead, consider taking out your frustration on them. Trolling your provocateur with a duplicate profile on Twitter or Instagram is ALWAYS a great idea.
4) TRY TO CHANGE THEIR MIND
A well-thought-out and intense message asking them to reconsider might help. Alcohol or stimulants are wonderful creative tools. Let those imaginative juices percolate —and watch those emails, texts and voice messages flow.
5) RULE OUT FRIENDSHIP
There’s no reason to think you can be friends if you want to have sex with them. Those partnerships exist in movies and cartoons. Can you see yourself making light of your obsession with that person once you’ve seen them in a romantic light?
6) REMEMBER… THEY OWE YOU
There’s a way to find out WHY you’ve been rejected. Never accept the ‘no’; phrase the question maturely and calmly to try to force it out of them. They’ll tell you —eventually— if they’re sick of you or if you nag them long enough.
7) OVERTHINK IT
Society will have us believe that rejection is ‘normal’ and happens to everyone. Well, screw that; humankind is delusional. Remind yourself THEY — your potential lovers — were mistaken when THEY declined your advances. Is there more to be learned from failure than success? Sure, if you believe those trivial poets who write motivational words of wisdom. Remember, their rejection of YOU will define THEM forever.
8) IT WAS MEANT TO BE
Are there other things in your life disappearing down the toilet? Don’t let this rejection be another ‘fail.’ Your romantic liaison was meant to happen because you want it —and deserve it. Can you have a meaningful existence without romance, love, or intimacy?
