Rejection....We've all been there...

After receiving a "nasty" comment from a member I told I wasn't interested in...How do you handle rejection? Does your ego become "bruised"? Or do you laugh, shake it off and move on? Do you think someone who has rejection issues should even be on a "dating site" if they think they will not get rejected? It is scientifically proven that our "hard-drive" is already coded with who we are attracted to. I for one, cannot force myself to be attracted to someone I am not.

It makes a difference what happens in a dating site or in real life...
So Guadal, ist die Frage, wie kann man die Ablehnung umgehen?
Ed. Thank you for your input. Very mature attitude you have. I know some people never learned how to handle rejection...in all areas of their life.
Well, Hi Ho Hi Ho...it's off to work I go...Be back later! Tschuese!
Indem man sie verhaut (die Ablehnung)!head banger
if someone is mature enough to handle rejections in professional life ( did not get into the college or job he or she applied or did not get promoted or get a raise ) - then it is anticipated that he or she will too handle rejections in personal life wisely.
so I take it he didn't offer you 55 kilos of gold ......laugh laugh
wait a minute.. you mean you rejected someone??? lol
was he blind or what?
and whats the point of your blog... something like (hey I am untouchable so hard to get I am rejecting guys yeahhhh I am soooo wanted !!!
you better stop flying cuzz your wings are allmost 80% damaged allready ;) good luck! cheers
(by the way now you can feell the negative energy of a rude compliment)
That person was me she is complaining about after simply writing a note of interest and knowing Calliope is a good writer of poetry and pretty much I would guess a nice person.

However, her response to me is as follows


tHANK YOU For the flower....however, I am not interested in pursuing a relationship with you, I pray you find all that you are searching for.

my response point noted:

Thanks for the cold shoulder I was not asking for a relationship
Many here do not want one so I don't expect you to be any different.
Hope you find what you seek within your cult and horses.

Since then she blocked me and now wants to complain I am rude to her and or the masses?
I have been rejected by many here I expect many more the longer I fool with this site. Yet I consider it a unique place to learn from many people including Calliope. Many tend to quickly place barriers and walls and want to throw their anger out there to those just wanting to reach out.
Many want to consider this as a dating site. I consider it just a sound off and blog site. Many in my opinion seem to complain why they can't find healthy relationships or why they can't find a friend and are so quick to throw stones at each other.
Many place unrealistic criteria as to what they seek to the point they actually end up pushing out everyone and assume any new potential relationship will be like their last failure.
It seems contradictory to do such stuff knowing the reason why we are here is to connect with people intellectually emotionally spiritually etc. etc.
So before people start throwing stones at me or anyone else here for similar complaints first take in consideration your part in the picture.
Enkidu ...No-one was aware it was you. Calliope was polite with her response. I rather appreciate honesty in an individual.

Perhaps you should have tempered your response and suggested a friendship??
hey a no reply should be an indication that you are not interested!and when you do say i am not interested sometimes they react vile
Hey Calli, true that some people just can't handle the rejection. I sometimes couldn't too, but once again, this is an online world, everything could happened and all we could do is to deal with it. There's a saying that a smooth sea never made a skillful sailor. wine Life goes on and I move on.
Maybe the only hope one could ever ask is the stone that was rejected by the builders shall be the cornerstone to a different designer
@ Enkidu - You need to take the time to read up on the blog rules, Mate...

We all get rejected sometimes, both here and in real life too. So what? It is part of life. We re-start the car and drive on. What one of us finds to be an unrealistic expectation, the next person in line may fit to a T. No expectation is unrealistic just because some of us don't meet it. Someone else will. All power to them.
oh goly gosh ......carnt some folk get over it and move on ....next banana
Wow, what a blog- go to work and find all this....thank you good friends...Abagail you are a doll and everyone else.

I don't enjoy rejecting women , but you know when you don't match. But I usually just make that clear at the start , don't mind continueing with chat though.
drinking Hi Calliop girl. . .
My Dear Calliopesgirl your sweet Smile and Lovely photo . my first and always Remembered Contact on this sight indeed you will always Have more Love than Rejection in are Hearts indeed my Dear . we are your Loving Family on the WEB indeed . stay sweet a friend For ever more indeed = Kyacheo
First of all, you have sound judgement and you made a wise choice to tell the member that you weren't interested, that's a plus.
Secondly it is not you that has been rejected, it is he that needs to deal with his own rudeness and personality disorder.

You feel rejected, but that will pass, dealing with rejection is a fear we all have, and no matter as to our age, we must move on and learn by it, think of it perhaps as a teacher, a lesson learned.

Good luck with your quest to find that special someone. comfort
Thank you Angel, Kyacheo, and Rb....and my Slovian friend.....very kind.
