Well this is my first time getting rejected, and I can tell you its not fun , its the feeling of helplessness where you can not do anything to change the situation and you just need to accept it the way it is.
Where all the hope and excuses that you made for yourself are crushed , where the thoughts of "never" creep into your mind.
When someone does not reciprocate your feels you have a few options :
1. Move on, Find someone new, if they don't appreciate you now, they never will.
2. Wait for them, maybe they just need time to process and appreciate you.
3. Make them jealous, Talk and flirt with everyone, show how much you are wanted by others
4. Be the best you can be, and make them realise what they missed out on
5.Be content on just being a friend
6. Wallow in sadness and buy 6 cats.
I haven't quite decided what I'm going to do yet, but all I've decided that I am not going to look for anyone else in the near future, and now I know how painful rejection is I'm just going to steer clear of men for a while.
Its like my mind wants to do all of the above at the same time, but the worst is you can't even be angry at them, because you care too much, so you sit here blaming yourself and the whole situation as the sadness eats you from the inside .
This is why I say to people , if you find someone you like and they like you back nothing should stop you from getting together, because that in itself is a very rare occurrence.
Chin up Lauren , and smile for the world.
