Only 4 times before my last girlfriend. 2 of those 4 I went on dates with, but they didn't want to go on a 2nd or 3rd date. I usually only ask if I'm at least 40% confident I'll get a yes and I don't walk up to random women in bars or street. That's how I keep the rejections to a minimum.

I don't keep track of rejections. I probably have over 1,000 rejections but that does not count anyway. Successful people have get rejections many times before landing the right one. I know know of girls that accepted me, the rest can **** it.

1,000 rejections? Are you counting online? WTH? I don't think I've talked to 1,000 people in the last few years combined.

Unfortunately, it's never worked out when I approached a man first. It's only worked out when a man approached me first.

I am actually starting to believe this I was hard over for this younger woman a couple of years ago. 24 to my 38 at the time. I don't typically even care for women that young but I wined and dined the hell out of her. I could tell she was not accustomed to being treated as such. Her previous boyfriends were all basket cases, Unemployed, drug addicts, alcoholics and such. It did send flags up to me since I am the opposite: Degreed Engineer always employed. Regardless, she was the one who broke it off. Still friends and would love to tell her sincerely thanks, considering it really could have been a train wreck.

I don't view anything as rejection nor do I care about a relationship. I just live my life and do fun things, I travel and go out with friends and do whatever I can. If I meet a girl who seems nice I'll ask her out and if she says no it is her own fault and she's missing out on a fun time. If a girl doesn't want to come out with me, she's simply just a boring person in my eyes and no one I'd want to hang out with anyways.

I personally think dating sucks, I hate the whole process and trying to impress someone enough that she'll go out with me. I don't put effort into impressing people or trying big tactics. If they aren't interested in me then so be it, I really don't care about them. I'm not interested in having to put so much effort into impressing someone on being involved in my life, I'm more than content with my life and what I'm doing.
