Asked a girl out only to be told no

Post Reply New Topic

Told a girl I liked her, but she said no because we didn't know each other very well.

Sorry. Hopefully you can move past her to someone who likes you too.

She's only one. There will be many other opportunities down the road, as long as you keep your eyes open. Even though you didn't get the outcome you wanted, you're still off to a good start--you'll be more prepared and better equipped to handle the situation next time.

Sure, it's a setback for now... but someday, someone will be glad to find that you're still single.

About half of the women I've asked out turned me down. After a few times, you realize it isn't that bad. And, of the women I went out with a few times, only about one in eight ended up a long-term girlfriend. So, getting turned down and having them not work out is part of the game. The fishing metaphor is actually very good - you cast a lot, have a few bites, then you get a good catch.

I'm sorry. Other girls will say yes.

That's life. Keep asking others you like until one says yes.

Don' ask out iguanas

During my (thankfully brief) career in sales, I was taught that, on average, only 1 in 10 customer calls will result in a sale. That statistic helped me from getting discouraged when someone said "no".

I chose to apply that same thinking to my dating life, with good results.

Why not get to know her better and then she might want to go out with you?

Be glad she saved you the time and effort.

Spend it on someone else.

Better yet, spend it on something you enjoy.

The purpose of dating is to get married (if you want sex, get a hooker). Aspies who get married end up miserable, and their partners end up on ASPartners talking about how horrible their ex-husband/ex-wife is.

You can't help it. They can't help it. We're different kinds of people (possibly different species) with different brains and different needs. Making the Aspie happy will make the NT miserable, and vice versa.

If you want sex, get a whore. If you want companionship, make some friends (or get a cat/dog/ferret/bird/chinchilla/iguana/whatever). If you want someone to help you negotiate life, get a therapist.

Don't date. Especially don't date young NT women. It won't end well. Don't date young Aspie women, either. That also doesn't work out too well.

Did your only 16 and still young its not the end of the world yeah it sucks man but it does happen eventually you'll find the right one but chance are it will be the other way around most of my relationships ended up being the women asking me out instead. Maybe you shouldn't look and just stick to your hobbies and such and the right one will find you it sometimes works that way as well. When the girls are wanting to ask you out then you have the power to say yes or no.

I'm 31 and have never had a gf, every single girl i've asked has said no and I haven't had the balls to try for at least 5 years now.

Think of it at least you have the balls to try man, so don't give up ! Just cuz one girl said no, you're young and you have the initiative to try so don't let that one rejection stop you, keep trying and know that you're young and still have plenty of time. I'm sure someone will come your way bud, just try and keep your head up and know you're not alone ok?

plenty of other fish in the sea. Best you let this one go
