crazeemohfoh Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 I recently mustered up the courage to ask a guy-friend out on a date. Yes, I am a woman. This was my first time, EVER, asking a guy out, and it may be my last. Well, he rejected me, but not quite. He said he was "sort of" in a budding romance with someone else, it had just started. Sigh. Perfect timing. Although, had it not been for this other person, he did say he would have loved to date me. I'm flattered by that, so I guess the rejection wasn't so bad. Since he is a friend, my question is, should we continue hanging out as friends and spending time with each other? He's expressed that he was still interested in seeing me again, so I'm assuming it's alright. Right?! Sure, I think he is a good friend, but at the same, wouldn't mind having an intimate relationship with him in the future. I know I should be moving on, but hell, I can be patient.
musemaj11 Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Yeah we get it, for women one rejection is the end of the world. Anyway, I tried my luck with a friend before. Epic fail. It was a bit awkward at first but one biggest mistake people do when they get rejected is that they pretend as if nothing happened. That actually makes things even more awkward. Your relationship with that person is going to feel a bit different and accepting it is better than avoiding it. Just continue being friends. Accept what happened but dont consider it a big deal.

january2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Sometimes, it's best just to swallow your pride, pick yourself up and get on with it. You asked him out, he said, "no." It wasn't the outcome you wanted, but so what? You should congratulate yourself. You took a chance and put yourself out there. There will be other opportunities with other guys and some of them will say, "yes."
