quit worrying about her saying no, just do what you think will help you get with her, if she says no, learn from it and move forward, and be different the next time you approach a girl. Keep going until you find what works for you.

Even the best men out there get rejected and right now there are many men in your situation, live life guys, you are in a first world country (since most of you in here are American).

But no, you will just argue with me and make excuses for your current situation.

Not sure I am familiar with the thread(s) this stems from.

Rejection is a part of life. People who get rejected need to learn to move on. I am not sure anyone should learn to "love" being rejected. They just need to learn that a rejection is not the end of their chances at a relationship.

Don't you think the process of finding our match is similar for both genders and sexual orientations?

Until you meet someone you just click with, it's really a process of weeding out all the potential candidates that don't quite fit into the square peg, round hole.

Or you'll become afraid of yes.

There is a way to increase your chances in getting yes. It pretty much involves reading people and knowing who you can talk to.

Like the OP says, at least look forward to rejection and go out to have yourself a good time. You need a thick skin for this kind of life.

Rejection can be reduced too, by being smart.

Know yourself. (Goes for both genders). This means know what you like, what you can accept, what will drive you crazy, etc. When you know yourself, you will more easily recognize the qualities in others you will like, and those which will be deal breakers... and you will do so much more quickly.

Until you truly understand yourself, your just going by trial and error.

Well stated, unfortunately the wisdom of your words will pass by many who cannot completely understand and grasp the concept. I wish you the best you deserve in your lifetime.

Why is her saying no so scary ? Because of my pride. I don't want someone beautiful to think badly of me or be disgusted by me. If I simply never talk to her, then I'll never know that she hated me. And she'll never be disgusted that such an "ugly person" would dare to try to "hit on her".

Some of us are not able to read people very well. Even when there seem to be hints that a girl is interested in me, I'm still scared that I'm reading her wrong, and that me approaching her will cause her distress and disgust.

I'm afraid that I'm ugly and disgusting to women.

So it's better to just keep to myself and never know for sure that they all hate me.
