How do you prepare for rejection?
2
Damn, are anyone else's kids eating you out of house and home now that they're home all day? I don't know how my kids survived the school day without having a snack every hour on the hour. I want to limit the amount of snacks and junk we keep in the house but my husband thinks that's unnecessary, and the kids should eat when they're hungry. I don't want the kids to be hungry, of course, but I also don't want them eating all day.
How many of you in long term (1 year+) relationships go on dates with your partner? How often and who plans it? My bf hasn’t planned a date or booked even a reservation at a restaurant in advance in over 10months. It’s really bothering me. We’ve talked about but he doesn’t get why he needs to share the planning sometimes. His excuse is weak “I don’t know how to plan stuff”
You don’t, confidence is key. Like a boxer, you get back up and into the ring. You’re the best there is, expect to succeed
Expect nothing
Every relationship ends in rejection unless it's the one. It's no big deal
Are you saying rejection from a dating pool? Or Rejection while in a relationship already?
Gotcha. Well, if you’re already interested I’d say that you only need to be careful and go slow. Don’t let feelings be bigger than they need to be at this stage. Not sure if you have this person as a friend, if you never approached at all or what but in general, I’d say be direct. Not creepy lol but honest. “Hey, I’ve been noticing you for some time and I’d love to know you better” and see what comes back. If the person says, no thank you, than that’s great! You know you cannot invest in your current interest and move on. Don’t take personally, it’s not about you. See as literally a trial and error process.
You work on yourself till you become the 10/10 that has never ending options. Makes rejection a little easier.
You’ll still get rejected. But the difference is you won’t care as much when you have options.
