Google Questions: Have Guys All Been Rejected at Some Point?
Someone found Datingish by Googling "has every guy been rejected".
I'm pretty sure what the answer is, but it's worth putting up a poll anyway...

All I've ever been is rejected...
@mrcolorful@xanga - Sorry you feel that way!
I'm curious to know what the guys are going to answer on this one. I'll be checking back in. For the record though, I have rejected guys before.
@TheOriginalImperial@xanga - Probably the only way a guy would have never been rejected is to have never asked anyone out.
It doesn't really bother me too much.
Of course all guys have been rejected. I had a crushing experience in middle school that has affected me for the rest of my life. One day I started hanging out with this girl that I had a major crush on. Her friends had stopped talking to her so she started hanging out with me. People thought something was going on and teased her about it. During that weekend we even chatted on the phone but by Monday she completely cut off communication with me. I was totally devastated. And that's why I'm STILL terrible with women, many many years later.
@mrcolorful@xanga - I've been rejected too. By a girl I was very good friend of.
After all, that wasn't that bad. She then revealed a very bad side of her personality.
Better lose her than keep her.
Definitely curious to see how this one pans out....
Um... no, I can think of two or three guys who I don't think have ever been rejected.
But most guys have. And most girls have done rejecting.
Too bad I can't answer this.
My rejection outweights my success by like 8:1. Ohhhh well. I'm just not very lucky. I got the Good Luck Chuck effect minus the sex.
definitely, even the studs, haha.
As for me, well I'm nothing great, so of course I'd get rejected. I take them pretty well now... actually it's more of a relief when I know for sure 100%
@NiDH0GG@xanga - wow i can't say i don't know what you mean !! been through exactly same experience ... and you're so right ... glad to have lost 'em :D
I'm pretty sure every person has been rejected at some point in their lives.
why single the guys out. Some of us women have asked guys out and been rejected as well....or at least I have.
@alterEGGO@xanga - Ditto, or even if you haven't done the asking, rejection can is still very possible. Not as clear cut maybe, but it's still rejection.
@mrcolorful@xanga - hug! i accept you! in a totally guy-friendly, not gay way.
Rejection isn't so bad unless it is truly an unforeseen event. The only time I've ever really been hurt by rejection was in 9th grade. This girl I sat next to in my history class was outrageously cute and somehow found my incessant prattling (incessant... but highly-detailed prattling :P) about arbitrary historical conflicts amusing. Not only that, but she'd do the same thing! :O
I was young and naive, and after another week or so of flirting (at least, that's what I THOUGHT it was...), I asked her out.
She promptly replied "Nope." and never really talked to me again. Even though we sat next to each other.
-_-
But yeah, one moves on. Rejection happens, and you can't dwell on it. All you can really do is your best, you've just got to make sure what you're doing is really your best, =]
Out of 32 years (my curent age), I've only had 5 girlfriends. That's out of the dozens that I asked out. Ain't really ever been lucky with girls. Now when a girl turns me down....I just forget that the hole situation ever happened. No big deal to me now.
The first rejection that came to mind for me was through the classic "I don't think of you in that way" line. I actually didn't feel too bad about it, even though I really liked the girl. It was just good to have gotten the weight off my chest.
In general, if a guy is more cautious - that is, wanting to "make sure" that a girl likes him back before asking him out - he'll rarely get rejected. But he'll probably also get less action. Lots of people are willing to make that sacrifice. Rejection hurts.
@mrcolorful@xanga - aww :(
After two years from friendship, to special friendship, to dating, to courting, she denied progressing to the next level...
To be fair, I'm a huge rejecter, so I probably deserve all the rejection I've gotten.
The real question is: is being rejected a good thing?
Rejected to the point where I just stop asking--though I feel that I deserve it for shrugging off all those girls who were very obviously in love with me all the way up to 7th grade.
I was very dense then. BIG oops.
I was rejected probably because I was too shy. Chances are, it was because I was Asian too. Of course I don't want to use that as an excuse but it happens. I grew up in a rural Caucasian dominant area.
@SerenityHalo@xanga - Well at the moment it happens, it sucks... But as time passes, you'll learn from it... or some don't idk.
