A no to me is no big deal, but if it happens all in a row, then I get concerned! When I reject a girl, they either get real butt hurt and leave or they get that much more aggressive in their pursuit. There's like two extremes.

I've never actually asked out anyone, but the few times I have been asked out and said no, either the guys stop talking to me or get it in their head that being my friend will make me like them.

As far as getting rejected, just about every guy I liked rejected me in some way as far as feelings go. They either lost interest, or never liked me at all, but pretended to. It hurts for a while but I eventually get over it.

Taking "no" for an answer is a lot better than believing that if you're persistent that you can win her/him over.

When you are really over it, you will feel as you did when you met her for the first time. You won't feel closed off.

I mean that's fine. But what if she rejects your boring approach at the bar but an hour later sees you across the bar working the crowd, making people laugh and having a good time. She wanders on over, gets close and it is clear she is now attracted to you.

You're going to snub her because she had her ***** shield up? You gotta respect the ***** shield, attractive women have to utilize it.

I tell you another story about a girl I was in an LTR with a few years ago:

We dated for about a month, fooled around a few times but never had sex. After a little while, she lost interest and said we should just be friends. I was annoyed but whatever. The NEXT weekend an old flame came to town and I happened to be having a party, while the girl that had just dumped me was out of town. The old flame and I hooked up and somehow it got back to her. She was allllll over me the next week and we ended up dating for almost two years. Just a little bit of jealousy and/or awareness that other women were attracted to me and she came running back. If I had been butthurt over her rejection, I wouldn't have enjoyed two years with her.

No. You didn't.

Rejection is ten fold more of an experience for men that it is for women. Yes, all humans get rejected, but men do so on scale you can't even begin to fathom, which is quite evident in your annoying modification of my quote.

If she rejected me once, that's it. Feigning interest an hour later is game playing and immature. To answer your question, Yes, I'll snub her.

Women's ego can't handle rejection. The last woman who approached me called me gay because I wasn't into her. I laughed at her and told her "Now you know how men feel."
