Dating – Dealing With Rejection

No one wants to be told no. No one. Some of the worst pain I felt in life, and I imagine most men would echo, resulted from a woman telling me no. Rejection has a proportion to it. The longer the relationship, the deeper the pain of that rejection.

There are many ways to deal with rejection. You can give into the negativity of rejection and be angry, hateful and vindictive. Or you can move on and rest in the assurance that you are better off. Honestly my dating life has been a mixture of both. I think that is normal.

No is the answer I’ve gotten far more than a yes. The challenge is keeping a positive attitude towards dating and women in the midst of so much rejection.

Do you know the legendary story of Colonel Sanders? The story says that when selling his KFC franchise, Sanders heard 1,009 “no’s” before he heard his first “yes.” That is the kind of story that keeps me going.

Now my philosophy is with each no, I get closer and closer to finding my partner, my wife.

How do you handle rejection? How do you keep a positive attitude after hearing no so many times? What gives you hope and confidence after being told no?
