1. DO NOT INSULT THEM
Sounds rather apparent, doesn't it? Evidently, no. We are aware that not everyone engages in it, but a select few unfortunately do so when they don't get the response they were hoping for. You can't be complimenting the person you like one second and then abruptly decide against them after hearing them say "no thanks." All they've said is "no," which doesn't necessarily indicate it's personal or that you did anything wrong. Sometimes it's something you have absolutely no control over.
2. DO ACCEPT THE REJECTION
Accepting rejection is the only way you'll be able to get past it. When you hear the news, it might hurt or make you angry, and those are all acceptable emotions. If you need to, pause for a moment, but make sure your response is mature and composed. Try to reassure them that they shouldn't worry because it's likely that they were hesitant to inform you. Being sincere with them about how much you appreciate spending time with them will help us move on to the next phase.
3. DO BE HONEST
Simply be honest with yourself on your feelings. Recognize such emotions and make sure you deal with them appropriately. Don't allow them to become angry over such a small matter. If you do decide to express your feelings to them, do it gently and honestly. Nobody wants their texts to appear on Bye, Felipe or in an article on Buzzfeed on how to behave when someone rejects them. We understand that sometimes it hurts, but keep in mind that it's not their fault and that you shouldn't be venting your anger on them.
4. DO NOT TRY TO CHANGE THEIR MIND
Unfortunately, a well-considered and forceful statement pleading with them to change their minds won't advance your cause. Although we've all been in that position and thought, "This text to the ex is a really excellent idea," in reality, we all know better. In the long term, you'll realize that even though they may be the only one you want to be with right now, nobody deserves to be with someone who doesn't want to be with them. You too should receive better than that.
5. DO NOT RULE OUT FRIENDSHIP
There is no reason why you shouldn't continue if you ask the question before continuing. This individual can still be in your life if they want to be as long as you don't make a big deal out of it and handle the rejection maturely. Don't go severing any relationships just because things didn't work out romantically because sometimes it can be the beginning of a really nice friendship.
6. DO REMEMBER THAT THEY DO NOT OWE YOU ANYTHING
If you want to know why you were rejected, there is a proper method to approach the subject. Accept the "no," ask in a polite and mature manner, and try not to press them for an answer if they don't want to; they are under no obligation to do so.
7. DO NOT OVERTHINK IT
Rejection is a very natural occurrence, and everyone experiences it. absolutely everyone. It can occasionally seem like a major deal. Try to keep in mind that there can be a million different reasons why they don't want to leave the house again. It might have to do with their own fears, those of their families, their careers, or just the fact that they wouldn't want to endanger the friendship. Only a small percentage of the causes are attributable to or caused by you. Do not criticize or shame oneself for making a mistake. Failure teaches you more than success does. Rejection doesn't make you who you are, and you are not at fault.
8. DO UNDERSTAND IT WAS NOT MEANT TO BE
Focus on the other things you are working on in your life and allow yourself to get excited about them if it doesn't work. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. You would have occurred if you had been truly intended to. Even if it may not be what you desire now, there will be something out there that is meant to happen; this does not imply that when it happens, it will not be the appropriate thing for you. There are plenty of fascinating things to focus on in life that have nothing to do with romance.
9. DO REALISE THAT REJECTION IS NORMAL
You probably don't need us to remind you that rejection is common. It happens to everyone and is very natural. We swear that was the last time we said it. as long as you agree to keep that in mind.
10. DO REMEMBER THAT NOT ALL REJECTION IS ROMANTIC
Rejection is a common occurrence in life, and it can be difficult to understand that not everyone will like you. We all experience rejection—from lovers, from employers, from sports teams, from the musical you tried out for. Although it's a difficult pill to take, we must all experience it in life. Just keep in mind that the more you concentrate on treating it correctly, the better you will get at handling it. Rejection at work will be simpler to handle if you can handle it from a romantic partner. Particularly useful when you try out for Elsa in Frozen but wind up playing "Snowball #3." Keep quiet; it still hurts.
Success includes both actual success and rejection in equal measure. You wouldn't understand how fantastic the highs felt if you hadn't experienced the lows. Therefore, try not to let this tiny failure demoralize you too much because something bigger might be on the horizon. It's possible that they didn't perceive in you what you had hoped they would this time, but it doesn't imply that someone else won't.
