No one likes getting rejected. It can leave pain that lingers for a long time – years, even. It also affects our desire to find love again in the future since getting rejected is a feeling we never want to experience again. While we probably believe we’ve suffered the most, there are some rejection stories out there that will turn your bad day around. <\/span><\/p>\n You may not feel as sorry for yourself once you realize it could be a lot worse. Maybe these stories<\/a> will inspire you to get back out there and see who you can find in the dating pool. These stories involve a lot of embarrassing moments<\/a> and mean comments that are certainly cringe-worthy, so buckle up and realize your day isn’t going that badly below. <\/span><\/p>\n People<\/a> are all about first impressions. When you look at someone and immediately find them attractive, that’s a good sign. But when you look at someone and think “nope” right off the get-go, that’s a good reason to leave. Unfortunately, some rejection stories involve people who never even had a chance past the first hello. <\/span><\/p>\n This Reddit user shared their experience trying to talk to a girl only to have her look him up and down and immediately reject him based on his looks. The poor guy never even got to show her how nice of a person he is. Sometimes, someone who isn’t that stunning by society’s<\/a> standards at first glance is one of the nicest people in the world. She’s probably missing out on dating an incredibly nice dude (via <\/span>Reddit<\/span><\/a>). <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Boys can be mean, especially in middle school. They don’t realize that their actions and words are harmful and can have a lasting impact on someone. This Reddit user shares one of their rejection stories that happened in the 8th grade. They asked a guy they liked to go to the dance with them. <\/span><\/p>\n They were led on by his response, when he said “yeah, maybe I’ll see you there.” Any one of us would assume this meant he wanted to go with her. Unfortunately, that’s not what he meant. He was being mean and sneaky and only pretended to want to go with her. When she got to the dance, he flat-out rejected her and even went so far as to tell his friends<\/a> he thought she was gross in front of her. There’s no reason whatsoever to take it further than a simple rejection (via <\/span>Reddit<\/span><\/a>). <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Getting ghosted is never fun. When that person you thought you had a connection with never responds to your message and suddenly<\/a> disappears off the face of the planet, it hurts. Many people have rejection stories about this. But some of us have rejection stories about getting ghosted in person, like this internet<\/a> user. He went over to a girl and said a simple hello. <\/span><\/p>\n Her response was to quickly turn around in her chair until he walked away. Getting ghosted online<\/a> is one thing, but getting ghosted in person is another. It’s more embarrassing, considering everyone around you witnesses it. It’s hilarious, though, that she thought she could get rid of him by turning her back to him. He could’ve just tapped her on the shoulder and asked her again (via <\/span>Buzzerilla<\/span><\/a>). <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n When you muster enough courage to ask your crush on a date, you hope it’s a yes. This Reddit user got a slap in the face when his crush responded with “I thought you were gay.” Ouch. <\/span><\/p>\n Just because this guy hangs out with a lot of women<\/a> doesn’t mean he’s gay. Sadly, this was the first time he had ever asked a girl out on a date. Maybe he needs to change his game<\/a> up a bit. Let’s hope this girl changed her mind and ended up going on a date with him in the end. Radical honesty is not always the answer (via <\/span>Reddit<\/span><\/a>). <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Friends can influence us, sometimes a little bit<\/a> too much. This Reddit user shared a rejection story where she was asked on a date and then rejected because her date’s friend didn’t think she was ‘hot or cool enough’.<\/span><\/p>\n That’s like someone dangling a diamond in front of your face and then pulling it away at the last second. Honestly, she’s better off with someone else who has better friends. This guy sounds like trouble. If those are the types of people he’s hanging around, there’s no telling what kind of person he is deep down (via <\/span>Reddit<\/span><\/a>). <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n When this girl asked her crush, who also happened to look like Paul Newman, out to dinner, he agreed. She probably felt elated to go out to dinner with someone she liked. And because he agreed, surely he found her attractive too, right? But when they went out to dinner and he saw her up close, he noticed she had too many freckles. <\/span><\/p>\n Most of us would agree that freckles are cute, so we’re not sure what this guy’s problem was. Furthermore, he dared to tell her to her face instead of keeping it to himself and then rejecting her later on. These kinds of rejection stories make us lose hope in the dating world (via <\/span>Buzzerilla<\/span><\/a>). <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n When you go on several dates with someone, you expect it to eventually go somewhere. There’s usually a discussion about where the romance and relationship are going. This Reddit user wanted to make it official with a girl he’d been on many dates with.<\/span><\/p>\n His partner rejected him by expressing she was also seeing someone else and then proceeded to leave him with the bill. That’s pretty cringe-worthy. Rejection stories like this leave us dumbfounded and are painful to read. Maybe it’s better to hide away in the comfort of our room and never speak to anyone ever again (via <\/span>Reddit<\/span><\/a>). <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n When we’re being good friends to someone, they might end up getting the wrong impression. It happens when the other person is in a vulnerable state and was probably recently hurt. This Reddit user shared one of their rejection stories of a time when they were on the opposite end. <\/span><\/p>\n They rejected one of their friends, who tried to lean in for a kiss. They got mixed signals and thought their friend was trying to date them. Talk about awkward. At least this person dared to apologize and make sure their friend wasn’t hurt. Honestly, they weren’t being a bad friend at all and it’s not their fault that the person had the wrong impression (via <\/span>Reddit<\/span><\/a>). <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Rejection stories that involve unreciprocated love are painful to read, mainly because we’ve all been on both sides. We’ve loved someone who hasn’t loved us back and vice versa. It’s just life<\/a>. This Reddit user shared a rejection story involving a time they tried to make their friend feel better similar to the story above, but ended up hurting them in the end. <\/span><\/p>\n It seems like their friend didn’t handle it very well and resorted to crying. She got rejected by two guys in one day. That’s painful, although it’s not this guy’s fault his friend had the wrong impression. Honestly, a lot of these scenarios could be avoided if people learned how to communicate with each other (via <\/span>Reddit<\/span><\/a>). <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Many of us have gotten bullied in high school. It was usually our parents<\/a> and teachers who were our heroes since they were the only ones we could rely on. Unfortunately, this internet user shares one of their rejection stories about a time they were bullied in high school and went to their mom for support. Instead of receiving love and compassion, their mom told them they would also bully them if they were their age. <\/span><\/p>\n That’s horrendous, and one of the saddest rejection stories on this list. Who says that? We’re not sure how this mother could look her daughter in the eye and admit that. At that point, not saying anything is better than saying that. It’s heartbreaking, but at least this person grew up and was able to healthily release their mother from their life (via <\/span>Buzzerilla<\/span><\/a>). <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Men and women<\/a> always complain about how there aren’t enough dating options out there. For some reason, even though there are billions<\/a> of people in the world, it’s difficult to meet someone who we really click with. Most of us just give up and choose to be single. When we do try and date, it usually turns out disastrously.<\/span><\/p>\n Speed dating is one of these ways to try and meet someone to date. This internet user shared one of the most embarrassing rejection stories out there when he went speed dating. At first, it seems like the story would start with a happy ending considering he was one guy meeting 14 women at the event. But it turned out that not even one of the women wanted to go on a date with him. He needs to take a good, long look in the mirror to figure out why that happened (via <\/span>Buzzerilla<\/span><\/a>). <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Rejection stories don’t always involve romance. There are many different forms of rejection. Sometimes it involves a job<\/a>, and other times it involves a school. This internet user shares one of their saddest rejection stories, about a time John Hopkins not only flat out rejected them but rubbed it in their face. <\/span><\/p>\n They basically told him he was not one of their talented writers, and that they should consider making other plans. That’s not only savage but a pretty brutal way to reject someone. We get they were trying to help, but there’s honestly no reason to say that<\/span>(via <\/span>Buzzerilla<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n There’s a reason why they say, “patience is key.” There’s a time and a place<\/a> for everything. Even though we feel the need to say something to someone straight away, it’s usually better to wait a few days and think about it before jumping right into the conversation. This is especially true when it’s something that holds a lot of emotion, like telling your wife of 18 years you want to divorce them while they’re in the hospital. <\/span><\/p>\n This person, who spoke from the point of view of Rudy Giuliani, shared one of those rejection stories that just struck us down to our core. He left his wife of 18 years while she was in the hospital. Even though he was in love with someone else, the least he could’ve done was waited until she was out of the hospital. It’s bad enough that he fell in love with someone else, but to tell your sick and dying wife you’re leaving her is just plain horrible (via <\/span>Buzzerilla<\/span><\/a>). <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n When our parents give us advice, we usually listen. They’re older, wiser, and have years of experience under their belt. Oftentimes, they give good advice. But sometimes, the advice they give is best left ignored. This is one of those rejection stories that was flat out caused by this Reddit user’s dad peer pressuring him to get a date. It sounds like he was pretty disappointed in his son for not dating women. <\/span><\/p>\n That’s just sad, especially because the son admits he was visiting<\/a> his dad just to get to know him. His dad coaxed him into asking the server at the diner on a date. Well, he went ahead and did it, only to be embarrassed and rejected in front of a group of customers (via <\/span>Reddit<\/span><\/a>). <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cats are sneaky, sly, and mysterious beings that most of us can’t figure out. That said, a lot of us have cats as pets. They usually keep to themselves and leave us alone. Some cats give us that love back, in their way. But sometimes, cats reject their owners<\/a> in pursuit of something better. <\/span><\/p>\n Rejection stories involving animals are the hardest ones to grasp since we shower our pets with love and adoration. This cat left their owners and hung out at the hobo encampment across the street. They figured they had better kitty treats than them, which is why their pet left. How heartbreaking (via <\/span>Buzzerilla<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Being the butt of someone’s cruel joke feels horrible. There are some people<\/a> out there who think harsh practical jokes are funny and worth the hurt to another person. This happens a lot in middle and high school, and especially between men and women. This person shares one of their rejection stories that involved a bet. The guy she liked knew she liked him, so his friends made a bet that she would immediately say yes if he asked her out. <\/span><\/p>\n Well, he asked her out, and she said yes, and they won $25. To make her feel better about the joke, he gave her $10. Even though that’s incredibly mean and embarrassing, at least she got a few bucks out of it. She should use that money and play a practical joke back at him, although she might not want to stoop to his level (via <\/span>Buzzerilla<\/span><\/a>). <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Boys in high school are vicious. Girls are, too. It seems like everyone’s a bully and no one has a chance at expressing themselves or even getting away with having a crush. This Reddit user had a crush on a guy in high school, no big deal. <\/span><\/p>\n We’ve all been there. But when he found out, he made fun of her and even went so far as to say he’d become a monk over dating her. He better watch what he says. Manifestation is a powerful thing. Let’s hope karma came back for him and he ended up becoming a monk without having a choice (via <\/span>Reddit<\/span><\/a>). <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n It’s a big deal to dress up in a couple costume<\/a> at a party. You’re telling every single person that you’re partnered up with your S.O. Now, we’ve seen rejection stories involving someone getting flat-out dumped, but now we’re seeing a sneaky rejection story that was masked underneath a web of lies. This internet user shared their experience with their partner who showed up to a costume party dressed in a couple’s<\/a> costume with another girl. <\/span><\/p>\nUm, No<\/span><\/h2>\n
