This is assuming before you met your current spouse if you have one. I was rejected a total of 13 times before me and girlfriend started dating. How many times have you been rejected overall?

Don't know, don't care. I don't see getting rejected by a woman any worse than not getting a job I applied for, getting turned down for a loan, or a car I wanted has been sold to someone else, etc. Rejection is just a reminder that I'm human.

What counts as a rejection? Are you referring to approaching someone and then being turned down? No response to messages, for those who do or have done OLD? Declining a date?

Interesting question. I wish I could answer but I really have no idea. I never kept track. And it would also depend on what being rejected is... are we talking the person turned down a date or dated you for a while and broke up with you/decided they didn't want to date anymore. And like someone else said, does that include OLD? (although I still wouldn't know the number).

EDIT

Pretty much this. And I feel the same way when I get rejected by a man... it's no worse than any other rejection in life like not getting a job, not winning an award, not being chosen for a team, etc. I figure if it was meant to be, it was meant to be. If not, oh well there are other men out there.

I can't even remember the names of girls I dated, let alone how many rejected me.

OP, rejection is routine. Nobody keeps count. Except the ones who are new to the social scene, or who have been too shy to try.

In first grade I told a boy I liked him and asked if he liked me back. He said no. I threw my pudding at him.
