Getting rejected is a good thing. It's a learning experience. In fact, he needs a little rejection toughen up and stop being so scared. The words "No" can't inflict physical pain. Everybody gets rejected. It doesn't hurt and there's nothing to be ashamed of. If you go through life avoiding things because of rejection, then your life is not only going to be boring, but you are going to be missing out on a lot of things. Boo hoo, I can't have exactly what I want. Nothing worth having is easy. Sometimes, that goes for people too.

jobaba, no offense man, and I say this with all seriousness, you sound like you need therapy. Getting shot down by a girl should not have torn your world apart. People don't owe you anything. We have the right to choose who we love or breed with. It's a 2 way decision. Learn how to interact with people and stop making it to be this awful awful thing.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Can you imagine if no one took chances in fear of failure or rejection? None of us would be here right now.
Rejection is a good thing, when you're just getting to know the woman. When you've invested too much, built her up and already started to think about relationship parameters (the two hour move) instead of just making out and hanging out, you've gone too far.

I've gotten rejected tons man. When I get rejected by a woman I barely know or am not that into, sometimes I'm over it in 5 minutes, if that.

It's called situational approach. Never allow yourself to get attached to a woman you haven't kissed. That's why they call it falling for a person. Most people are not going to brush that rejection off their shoulder like dandruff.

Maybe you are a cold **** and you can spend a year slowly getting to know and fall for a woman, and then after she rejects you and starts dating other guys, you just shrug it off. No big deal.

Hey. I wish I could be like you. Lord knows I've tried. Just trying to give the kid beats from my own playbook on how to avoid heartbreak.

A lot of women like a guy they can feel comfortable and safe around, a guy they can trust not to be creepy or all over them. Don't listen to those creeps who say you should move it along by the 3rd date. What women love is a guy who listens to what they have to say, pays attention, and respects their boundaries. It sounds like you're doing all that.

If you can't bring yourself to take her hand next time you're together, then bring up the subject of her move, tell her you'd like to keep seeing her, and ask her what she thinks, like how/where can you two continue getting together. Do one of those two things the next time you see her. The sky will not fall. Go for it.
Thanks for this. Just gotta step up to the plate and swing away I guess.

Yea. Absolutely bro. Go for it.

I hope your luck in such situations is better than mine has been.

You're a young pony. Don't end up a bitter old man like me.

Well, we haven't heard from Peerless in awhile. Do we assume that no news is good news?

I guess it means either he hasn't gotten out of bed yet or he's despondently sitting on the couch, gorging on Cheetos and watching endless reruns of Nick at Nite.

No news.. is no news.

Worked 72hrs the past week, and haven't seen her mainly because of that. Had called her the other day, but she was busy at work and had some things to do later that night. Hopefully will be seeing her sometime this week.

Well, looks like this one is over LOL.

Was gonna see if she wanted to hang out this past Friday night, but she was on her way up to the upper pennisula of Michigan. Texted her that we should still hit up a waterpark or something similar this week, and never got a response back.

Looks like another missed opportunity in my book.
