How to respond when you ask a guy out and he doesnt reciprocate your feelings

If you ask a guy out and he doesnt feel the same way, there are better ways to respond to his rejection than just walking away, teary-eyed...Here are some confident ways to show that you gave it your best shot, but arent completely crushed.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Things You’ll Need:

• a great smile
• perfume/cologne
• good posture
• strength

1. Okay, rejection is very hard to deal with. Especially when you have finally rummaged up the courage to spill your heart out face to face with your love interest. Just remember that everybody faces this dilemma a dozen times in their lives...not just you!
2. Be sure that he/she is definitely not into you...dont just jump to conclusions and spit out something that you'll regret. Give this person time to respond...and if it is a "not interested" for sure, then proceed..
3. Basically, there are 5 different ways to handle this. You may choose based on your personality.
   
   If you are SHY....just shrug and say something like " Well, thats fair enough" He will get the picture...one - that you are strong enough to handle it and two - that you are not devastated. It is a brief, nonchalant way to get him to respect your bravery and get a glimpse of how hard it was for you.
   
   If you are LOUD...Just bluntly mention, "I tried...no more wondering..." Maybe say something about you both being mature individuals and this not making things weird...If you let him know that you are okay with the rejection, he wont feel as bad, it was probably hard for him to say no (especially if he is a caring guy). He should be flattered. You could even say that if he changes his mind, you may be available, but now that its out of the way...you get the picture.
   
   If you are FUNNY...make a joke! Something like "Well I feel like a goof now! Jeeze, I spilled my heart out like I spilled my glass of milk this morning! How clumsy!" Any kind of joke will do...or change the subject and laugh about it..."So, how bout them bears?" add some giggles.
   
   If you are ANYTHING ELSE...Just nod and tell him thanks for listening. Apologize for making him feel uncomfortable, and let him know that he doesnt have to avoid you - you arent going to stalk him (although you may feel like it!).
   The best way to do this is to be witty...be creative...be you, and keep in mind that you can breathe now (and that is a good thing), so all of this wasnt for nothing! Finally - SLEEP! Right?

Tips & Warnings

• Be firm and take it as an opportunity to show how mature you are.
• Smile, it shows that he cannot change your mood. Also, it proves that you dont need a date with him to be happy!
• If he is rude, just mention how immature some people can be.
• Let it roll off you like raindrops on a windshield. Dont dwell, it will only lead to some embarrassing and desperate actions.
• This may not be effective on every guy.
• Be cautious of being insulting or rude.
• Dont go after one of his friends to make him jealous...in fact, he said no, you said your peace, now leave him alone. Let him talk to you if he feels comfortable, you dont want to look like a stalker.
