The only way to never experience rejection is to not take any risks. If you're not taking risks now and again, you're not getting the most out of your life.

Christyann, the Single Life Editor, deals with the issue of rejection in this very interesting article.

Dealing with Rejection

You're right. That was an interesting article. Remember that everything happens for a reason and we might not know why at the time. Like Taylor Swift sings, "Shake it off! Shake it off!" o/^

"Shake it Off" was the first song we heard at the first restaurant we went to. I think it was "Cheddars."

We deffinately took a risk as a couple, but in relationships, I can't think of a reason not to go with your feelings. You're not out anything if it doesn't go as expected, and if it leads anywhere, simply for the experience of it all, you've advanced in a way that only adds on to what you've experienced before

Can't agree enough with this...there is just a certain number of "no's" that one must hear before getting a yes.
