There might not be a worse feeling than being rejected by someone you've invested your time, money, and emotions in. Whether it be a family member who won't let you back into their lives, a friend who doesn't want to take things further than they are, or a boy/girl who you've finger banged (girls can finger fuck dudes too, it's not that weird) that now wants nothing to do with you, it's always guaranteed to leave you feeling like shit.

What did you guys do when you knew things were hopeless? Pick up and move to a new town? Crawl inside of yourself? Post on the SOMB? Keep trying to break down their defenses?

This is something that I'm interested in. I'll pull a few stories from the past out downthread, but I don't want to make this thread about me.

After being confronted w/ rejection, I have always spent time w/ what friends or lovers stuck by me, and failing that, I've thrown myself into creative pursuits, like songwriting and guitar playing. Main thing is to keep yourself busy and out there. The brotherhood of playing music has always made me feel great, and things like going to jam nights when nothing else is up always helps. Just avoid boozing alone at home, that never helps...

All of my hostility towards women is released through the internet. I just got rejected last week, so if I call you guys faggots more than usual that's probably why. but in all seriousness, I escape my demons by writing, eating, and sleeping as little as possible. Last week I went to a mexican place and ate a few tacos and then I went to portillos and ate two chili dogs and a medium fry and still felt like there was a part of myself missing. Alcohol only makes me unhappy so I tend to just internet like mad to get my highs

I'm sure I saw The Fingers Bangers support someone a few years back in a pub in Oxford.

what's rejection? lol.

it's when that jokester at the office that you've been digging on gives you a gym membership for your birthday instead of taking you out for dinner.

you know how you get really drunk and there are like 15 minutes towards the middle where you want to slit your wrists? yea.

haha. forgo is the kind of girl i can see yelling at her tv when match.com commercials come on.

Really only happened to me once. Drank a lot, listened to lots of Girls vs. Boys and felt sorry for myself. I was also boarding hard about 6 or 7 hours a day or something like that. I've never understood how to channel an experience like that into something positive, kind of growing suspicious of idioms like that.

Jimmy - Despite our recent spat on the subject of Tom Waits, I need to let you know this was absolutely fucking hilarious.

they are SO FUCKING STUPID.

like that one with the black dude who is a graphic designer and is clearly over acting, just graduated from drama school and like feels like the shit because he has a national commercial. I HATE THEM.

[BRANDON BOYD FROM INCUBUS]

i agree. all the couples creep me out...they almost always look like they could both do better. any entity that encourages internet dating is undoubtedly evil.

[theremin]

I'll let you know if I'm every rejected. </nickness>

Chill on the hostility towards these Match.com people. Just have a belief in yourself that one day you'll find true love as well.

However, in your case it is probably tough to tell whether your true love will actually love you back.

Honestly, I think this is why those match.com couples are so happy right off the bat. The fear of rejection is cut out completely, they know they are meeting a carbon copy of themselves, poorly disguised desperation and all.
