I don't know the exact count, but it's not too often. Seems bizarre and a waste of time to keep precise track of this.

That is a good attitude to have. Some people take rejection way too hard and/or too personal, instead of just letting it go and moving on. Rejection is part of life and society, and there's no need for anyone to hang their heads or get pissed just because someone turned them down.

This is especially true because hanging your head and getting pissed (even when you think you're hiding it) makes you less attractive, which makes you more likely to keep getting rejected.
And then in third grade, I liked a freckled boy in my class. (Love the freckles.) I wrote him an anonymous note and stuck it in his desk. He laughed and showed everyone, and they knew I wrote it despite my fierce denial. He spent the next two years making fun of my ears and nose. That freckle ****er.
I did. Is your name Sean?
Oh, no it wasn't me. No doubt the girl from my first grade lunch room is now one of the more accomplished man haters around here as a result!
A girl did this to me when I was in first grade. Back the. Girls were these weird and awful creatures who carried cooties. And believe you me, you didn't want to get cooties! Just the thought of a girl liking me back then sent shivers down my spine. How dare she ask if I like her? She restored some credibility when she threw her pudding at me. You didn't live in CA back in first grade did you?
hmm... I had a very different experience. I went through a boy-crazy phase in kindergarten and 1st and 2nd grade. Never had any trouble making friends with the boys, in spite of being considered ugly by the older boys (glasses, dorky haircut). Being a tomboy, I'd spend recess playing their adventure games with them. Cooties were not an issue.
hmm... maybe I should go back to 2nd grade, considering how well I got along back then.....

That little blond around the corner rejected me every day for 4 years, until I got married, then I rejected her..
Still, she rejected me 100's of times....
I rejected her 4 or 5 times

When I was in second grade there were two sisters who were twins. They seemed to have a crush on me and often chased me around the playground. Sometimes they caught me and would pin me down, sit on me and kiss me. Second grade! The horror! At any rate, I hated it! Little did I know back then that what was happening to me would become the stuff of fantasy for guys everywhere. I was too dumb to know what I had!
9.65. Or maybe it's 11.25. Either way, even the fractional rejections were tough to take.
