Love and dating

Part one

By Woody WhitePublished 7 years ago 1 min read

First off please excuse my horrific grammar mistakes they will be plentiful this is the first part of a multi part project on love and dating this part teaches you how to deal with rejection take it from me rejection is crippling but these five steps should help so without further ado let’s dive in

1.) find a friend

Immediately following rejection you should find someone you trust and tell them you’ve recently been rejected then discuss your emotions that you feel in that moment Identifying these feelings is very important to a quick healthy recovery

2.) tell yourself it isn’t you and it isn’t them

Rejection is never anyone’s fault it’s normal it can stem from several different things such as lack of physical/emotional attraction or perhaps the other persons sexuality doesn’t encapsulate you these things are no ones fault and 9/10 times they can’t be changed and trying to change them isn’t healthy

3.) stay friends

Approach the other party and tell them you would like to remain friends because while they’ve rejected you they are important to you and let them know about the influence they’ve had on your formation as a person

4.) take some time

No matter how battle hardened your heart is you will need some time to recover from this it’s painful and there is no shame in that pain embrace it but don’t let it overcome you remember you’re strong and you were made for someone out there just not this specific person

5.) get back out there

It’s important to keep fighting love is a war and you will lose the battle every now and then but remember to hold your head high and keep marching on
